Kick Me To The Curb: Revolutionary ConTEXTing Poetic Lament

Why did you kick me/
so completely
/to the curb/
and out of your life?/
The nerve!/
Or is it because you’re a wife/
and mom?/
Is that how come?

Soccer Come To Meeting Call: Revolutionary Email Poem

In 1999 I coached two soccer teams: The Tarantulas (boys) and da Blues. This poem, found recently, was on my email inviting the parents and kids to a pre-season meeting.

What’s the word?!?
Haven’t you heard?
Spring’s in the air!
There’s mud everywhere!
So heed the call
to kick the ball.

(This is my greetin’
to invite you to a meetin’).
