Recent author of chapbook Open Night Poems, about which Michael Basinski exclaims “The poet is in love and singing it poetry and finds all the silly and stupid and mundane things terrific!

(from Police & Courts)

INFURIATED VISITOR

Met a woman at a bar
and accompanied her back
to her home.

Around 2 am,
the topic of a sex fee arose
started smashing
numerous items
threw grease on the couch
and kitchen
and living room walls.

Refused to stop
despite police requests
and jumped out a second-story window

SUBURBAN BURGLARIES

Accused of five house burglaries
in five different suburban towns.

Deputies recovered numerous items
laptop computers, jewelry, and electronics.

Police said he would kick in the doors
of homes in broad daylight

GANG BEATS, ROBS, THEN STEALS

Hospitalized
Wednesday night
after punched
and knocked to the ground
during a robbery

Had just left a store
at about 7:50 pm
when confronted
by three or four men
who attacked
stole wallet
took keys to car
then drove away in it
