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.

One-dose OD

One-dose OD
killed off old me
Need fresh OD
kill new old me
allow skin shed
let new new me
smash thru old skin leave old for dead.
