A ‘70s Lament and a Moral
~~~~~ Hearing the music of a long forgotten song, A classic, yet we don’t remember its name. It’s not always even what we would choose. Life is its own agenda, some win, some lose. Reminds us, can’t see what tomorrow brings. How any moment might be paupers or kings. What I would say, choose […]
Entropy Increases, Ya Boy Howdy
~~~~~ Why don’t they come haul his ass away? He gets crazier with everything he say. He lives for himself, all alone in his own head. It wouldn’t matter if we all dropped dead. He never ever does the things he oughta. Though I’m sure he would hug his daughter. He’s a senile, demented nut […]
Even When We Don’t
~~~~~ As always, in the middle of the night, Some things will be wrong, some right. It’s not even always what you choose. Life has its own agenda, win or lose. No one knows what tomorrow brings, Our next now, may be paupers, kings. Still, we must always live in this now. Do it, even […]

What’s the Sequestion?
~~~~~ Why do we do the things we do, Pushing on through our pain? Why do we do it, when we know One option is to not walk again? I don’t think my pain leads to that; Yet, past fields, up hills we climbed. Still, I didn’t fall on my face, splat, A small grace, […]
Soon Remember
~~~~~ Soon, we will return home, again, With nothing but time to spend. We dream of places to roam, then Watch the tube, read a book, pretend. Though how we’ve lived until now, Makes us feel guilty for shirking. Want to produce; we don’t know how. Remember, what we did wasn’t working VOTE, November 3, […]
Be Prepared
~~~~~ Prepare to hide your children. We are being invaded. Can occupation.be far behind? How can we be invaded? The troops belong to us. Have you started to worry? When will the teargas And the flashbangs change Into nerve gas and grenades Prepare to shelter your elders If they have not fallen To a virus […]
Answer to an Unasked Question
~~~~~ Passionate Pacific my daily inspiration, sunlight, sand and surf. Murmured messages wash on shore, chased by crashing waves. Warm strand, moonlit, twinkling on the swells, reflecting earth, Wind, water, weather form transient art, the sea gives and takes. Humbled by such vastness of ocean, rolling beyond the horizon, This and more besides to stir […]
No Guarantee
~~~~~ Blow it up or blow it down, No point us hanging around. We start again as a beginner If we lived as saint or sinner. Still and all, it’s been before; Not by us, so now our chore. Some craven but some brave, Dumb, brazen sum’s a grave. What it is, not bad nor […]
