Welcome to The Chronicle of Change

The Chronicle of Change is a collection of poetry written since the 1990s. As most of the poems are in hard copy, I will have to encode them one by one, so bear with me. I will be posting them as I go along.

The dates of posting are not necessarily the dates of creation.

I do not and never will claim that they are good, but if you find value in them, I thank you. You are most welcome to comment. I welcome both praise and criticism.

If for any reason you need to quote, lift excerpts, print, publish, or refer to the poems in any way, I would appreciate a note or an email, an acknowledgment of ownership, and an acknowledgment of the website. Intellectual property rights do apply.

Mouths Agape

Mouths agape
sucking in mouthfuls of air
eyes squinting
watery
face contorted
stretched
beyond capacity
driven taut
forcefully
by the fiery smoke
of an oral
chimney

death came
so suddenly
he never knew
what hit him.

- written some time in 1999
