Falling Fast
Falling Fast ~~~~~ The words friable and frangible myriad might find intangible. They’re too specific and esoteric. And, certainly less manageable than our good old atmospheric. Though atmosphere, I’ve found, moves, never sticks around. It provides no solid ground Much like friable, frangible, it just might let you down. ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is […]
I Don’t Know
I Don’t Know ~~~~~ My spring of words is running low and, I don’t know where I should go. Do I pump a mental handle, start the flow? I can’t figure it out, does anyone know? Perhaps, I must wait till it refills, though, I really want to write something now, so I want it […]
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. […]

Anywhere
Anywhere ~~~~~ This was somebody’s plan for our future, new homes full of new, smiling people. Happy folks, without care; I can’t find ‘em anywhere. This grim portrait is of the middleclass, not home alas. I look around, folk I knew, think it might be me or you. Think we’re gone for good. ~~~~~ Peace […]
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, […]
Turning a Blind Eye
Turning a Blind Eye ~~~~~ I think that car is flirting with me, it honks its horn, blinks its lights, no people anywhere that can see, Will I get a ride to see the sights? I walk closer, make it sure it saw. It’s mad, horn honks, lights blink. I run, afraid, it will bring […]
My Views
My Views ~~~~~ I am a philosopher, self-named, since I think of things, postulate. My views may see me detained, Epicurean of life, not what I ate. ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ Please, leave a comment and let me know what you think. See more of […]
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 […]
