World-Hopping

Last week here in NYC it was very cold and I was very busy acting-wise.  On Saturday the week's work culminated in a rehearsal and then a performance of one play in Queens followed by a rehearsal and then a performance of a totally different play in Brooklyn.  So, new poem!

World-Hopping

World-Hopping
down the icy streets
from heart-ache alley
to slapstick silly
stuffing myself
with more words
skipping dinner
wrapping and unwrapping
the tundra layers
the costume pieces
there is music to remember
and All The Right Things
in my big blue bag
dream, inhale, speak
see your breath
tears for the beauty
giggles for the mischief
and the mistakes that
float by like skaters
let them glide by or you fall
keep spinning the stories
jump the lucky sleigh
with the master pretenders
they fold you in a blanket
on a night like this
let no one drink
the frost alone
keep on moving
till you’ve earned
your sweet sleep.

    I write and perform poetry.  I have been published on many websites and in many print publications at various times throughout my life. I live in NYC where I also tell stories as an actor. Acting projects make me forget that I'm a poet for long stretches of time.  But I mean to work on that here: I'll be posting old poems, new poems, and everything in between. Thanks for visiting.  Enjoy!
