1986-1990: These are some of my better early poems. If I wrote poems like this today I might not be happy with them. Nevertheless I think they have a strength and character of their own and are worth including if only to compare with my later work.

Untitled girl poem

David Lee Roth’s
Gaping lycra tights
Don’t thrill me.

That singer in a
Codpiece
Doesn’t spill me.

Mick Jagger’s
Padding
Only chills me.

But there’s a
Brown leather jacket
That could kill me!
