He Stood Up

Suspenders
in a big fat chair
he jumped up ran
right out of there.

Security an unsafe thing
cash will sometimes kill 
ossifying everything
casting away the thrill. 

Hike up the mountain
out of old clothes
kiss the girl
recall high school

wrestling winning on the mat
effort to the limit
ignore the critics
make it happen

even if it takes some years 
try  to win before the whistle
sucks us out of here.

Living in a van is better
loving liberty
not much money
back to work
dance on Fridays
be a "jerk"

a man should
never leave someone
no matter if
their time is done. 

Learn to dance!
take photos hike
suspenders in the trash.

Skinny guy
head on a pike
hike to hell and back
stole the girl's
prerogative.

A take down
up and dance!   

Remembering
love's still around
find it on the mat. 
 
Sway and sing
write poety

of beauty belts and pants.
