NURSING HOME appeared in "Mouth Magazine" a number of years ago. I believe that NURSING HOME is the only poem that "Mouth Magazine" ever published. Perhaps NURSING HOME is somewhat unique, in that, it can generate a plethora of emotions with such a scarcity of words.

NURSING HOME
Reduced to
Three drawers
And a dresser,
Could have been
Something by definition
But reduced to nothing
By the system. ~

I have written a manuscript of unpublished poems titled "Reflections on the Human Condition." Someday, and somehow, perhaps I will be able to find a publisher who might have an interest in the previously described. I have always hoped that my poetry would be a vehicle via which I could improve my general life circumstances, and I still hold on to that dream.
