Hello ladies:

Everybody calls me Mack or Harrison. I come from a large southern family and although born and raised in New York City, I still feel like a tourist or visitor. I'm a laid back and mellow kind of brother and somewhat shy in crowds. I like to work out, play chess and read good literture. A normal day for me is to work, eat a home cooked meal and have my lady for dessert. Oops! On humanitarian grounds, I refuse to have my cat cut so now I find myself and my house becoming somewhat of an unofficial animal shelter for abandoned cats.

First I would tell the lady to dress the part, we would go horse back riding. On a quiet, scenic horse trail in Yonkers. After following the guide a little ways, me and my lady would fall back to the rear and I would lead us off on another trail. We would find a nice warm shaded patch of grass and have a small picnic. Wine, chicken, cheese and slices of mango. That's what was in the knap sack I carried throughout the date. We would have a long intimate talk and the wine would make us a little giddy and silly. Then we would go to a quaint little Thai restaurant in SoHo and be enchanted with the ambience and aromatic spices that tingle out tongues. Then we would take a train ride to the World Trade Center Memorial and take pictures, lots of pictures, the camera was in the knapsack too. Then I would take you home and wait for you to call the next day. And if there is another date, and another date and another date, we would just grow old together, still dating as if every date is our first date. Heres a poem I wrote in prison for the ladies, yeah, I was a bad boy in my earlier days and I'm still a little on the roughneck side but its been tempered with compassion, experience and humility. Good fishing everybody.

HE KNOWS BUT THE SHELL OF YOU

He knows but the shell of you
The cosmetic smile that hides your core
The husk, the shape, the shadow of your before
Before you gave your name
Your breast milk
Your passion
And now...
After years of believing he loved you
He answers in monosyllabic impatience
When your eyes ask to be gazed in
Your lips long to be kissed
Your pre-menopausal body just want to be held up
Because your're tired of being held down
By the weight of all those years of him
Knowing just the shell of you
