Ad Infinitum
Ad Infinitum ~~~~~ I was sitting in a downtown cafe, looking for the words I wanted, listening to other people’s lives, fits and starts, dribs and drabs. O, what stories I could imagine. O, what stories could I imagine? of these people and their lives; the difference a single change, an opening, taken or missed, […]
The Giftie Gie Us
The Giftie Gie Us ~~~~~ How then cannot we see our own true selves? The poet’s answer realized in our social media. Where we play half-fools, do naught by halves, constantly connected, from Twitter to Expedia. Do we ever look in this mirror that we created? Join we the grand communion, or voyeurs only? We […]
Circle of Life
Circle of Life ~~~~~ This moment, now, This turn on the wheel, Of our universal unicycle Of linear time. I understand Being everywhere And nowhere, In all places, All the time, Everyone, everything. Only our vantage Changes. So, persecutors now, Become persecuted, The hunter hunted, Prey the predator. As the wheel turns We changes positions. […]
Beneath the Grass
Beneath the Grass ~~~~~ What would it feel like, any fun, to live to be one hundred? My imagination says it would be less fun and more dread. With luck, still shuffling about, able to pee upon my shoes. not rolled around as deadwood, by someone I don’t choose. Perhaps I will be non-compos mentis […]
Searching for You
Searching for You ~~~~~ Morning obscured by swollen clouds, rain-slicked streets offer no reflection. I trudge on, collar high to ward damp, as I round a corner, searching for you. Frigid gale, shreds the vaporous veil, ebbs, whispering, wishing, revealing, our spinning dome of stars, galaxies, modest corner of infinite space-time Dazzling, radiant, luminous, lucent, […]

All, Together
All, Together ~~~~~ I have shown you wonders beyond imagination, revealed to you the smallest parts of my being. I find you within me, yet, you don’t understand languages to, of creation too gross and too subtle to speak to you. I will guide a minor poet’s hand. I am every drop of water and […]
Ways of Seeing
Ways of Seeing ~~~~~ See the thinking man. Do you wonder what he thinks, or do you not care? Note: I have started a new series of digital art pieces, I am calling the Faces Project. I’m intrigued by what I’ve found and will be exploring their possibilities and posting them at intervals, with haiku […]
Questions
Questions ~~~~~ What questions should I ask? Which “what if” should I imagine? What if I could wave my magic wand, change the world? At least, change my world. Am I wise, wise enough, to remake the world? Is this even the question I should ask, we should ask? Should I state instead what I […]
All the Rest
All the Rest ~~~~~ Why do people think peace implies boring sameness? The cosmos where we live is composed of opposites. We will never have everyone thinking the same way, Nor would we ever even want to, if the truth be told. But opposition is no way required equal violence. On, off, hot,cold and whatever […]
