Driving on Empty

The tank is low and the memories are full. An old musician climbs into a rusting, fur covered car with his dogs riding shotgun and heads down the long road of memory. Written in the fall of 2024, these poems play with haiku, split columns, and shaped verse. You'll meet a father who survived Pearl Harbor, a friend whose cancer came back, a teacup plotting its escape, a lifelong Chiefs fan, and Diva Daisy Doodoledo, a beagle with opinions. This book is about growing old without growing dull. It isn't the end. Not even close.
