Today I awoke to the news that a legend, Muhammad Ali, had died at the age of 74. To me his legacy is one of strength and conviction. I was also fortunate to be in Atlanta in 1996 when Muhammad Ali surprised the world and lit the Olympic torch to start the summer games. I thank him for reminding us of the power in each of us to make a difference in the world.

The Lobbyist
I write to regain my bearings and reboot. It’s just not that serious our crazy life issues, right? I was a smoker when I wrote this poem. I guess The Lobbyist will be happy to know I gave up that bad habit! Poetry keeps me sane…
The Lobbyist
This woman at an elevator
Was lobbying against my smoke
The ash cans didn’t count for starting up
But putting out the choking fumes
I forced upon her
Not goodwill, money or sex
Could be extorted from that soul
No secret smiles of afterglow
Or posture of secured future
Friendship brings no floor
To hear the lobbyist
Her ride up was too slow
Then, she stopped short of the number
Pushed too hard and caused a shaft
To break her lift
That swayed her against me
Against us all
