You’re On The Air With The Jazz Doctor

Rebel Bowling Alley Don Juan
come 2 A.M. radio announcer,
chain smoking insomnia,
and spinning vinyl smooth jazz
old school, lips caressing
every cheesy winking word,
finger-points his Dollar General

he choked up a wheezy

called “Oh, I Need a Bathroom.”

tries to herd cats?

So here I will do my meandering and here I will keep my journal from this day forward (until I stop). ...more
