Betrayed by women
even golden boys aren't safe
author's cry for help?

Young people these days
taking part in ancient rites
bleeding out in caves.

Driven mad by grief,
Fist finds his way to Jesus
family in tow.

A tender send off
on his last glorious binge
what a heart of gold.

With a little help,
Parker milks them from all sides
I'm sure they won't mind.

Beloved scoundrels
stealing what isn't nailed down,
quenching endless thirsts.

A feud gone too far
hurting the great-great-grandkids
all for a dumb trick.

inside out exile
wallowing in bitterness
time to use him up.

All heart and moxie
good old Sam will set things right
faithful to the end.

Ents don't fuck around
punch down your town, drown what's left
be nice to trees, jeez.

Risking life and limb
brave cosmic dumpster diver
do it for the ape.

One cheerless summer
where's Lassie when you need her?
go on, ask Holland.

Money and ladies
there's never enough for Roy
starved of mommy's love.

Hot death from the sky
he has more pressing concerns 
suicide, or not.

The kindest option
more than just thinning the herd
it's for charity.

A youthful mistake
(one that paid off very well)
comes back to bite him.

Sex leads to madness
especially with the wife
that lovable bitch!

Do it by the book
just stick to the script, Jimmy
no need to show off.

It came from the sky
tainting every living thing
crumbling to gray dust.

Tough little lady
takes a beating like a champ
keeps her smart mouth shut.

Golden dog daddy
has a hard time keeping friends
can't stop stabbing them.

Sadistic machine
you broke his favorite toys
suffer in silence.

Inside a black door
near the top of the staircase
a portrait of you.

Travels gone awry
an easy life built on lies
gratefully childless.

Infidelity
disappointing nostalgia
terminal illness.
