The Person Who You Knew
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth! ~~~~~ Remember me, so I can know myself. Talk about me, so I’ll always remain. Tell me of the person who you knew. Both what you loved and what hated. In the best loves, storybook romances There are things which make us crazy. If they, we linger a long […]
The Living End
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth! ~~~~~ Oh, to find my voice again though I never really lost it. In the grass, a wanton wind. A bridge; I never crossed it. Lost my vision in my mind though I could always see it. Certain that I’d gone blind. Had a dream, couldn’t be it. Ocean […]

To an Unsung Future

Once Upon a Life
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth! ~~~~~ Part One Once upon a single life nearly fifty years ago I sat upon a brick wall in Palo Alto feeling low. Without money a place to stay, listening to an unknown rock band in Litton Plaza, I heard A dulcet voice offering me hello. Who knew such […]
The Eternal Mystery of Phileas, the Lesser: I Must Admit
People Over Politics, Survival Over Surrender, World Over Wealth! ~~~~~ In a Time of Pandemic and Insurrection. ~~~~~ In this dim season of darkening light, When day is eclipsed by growing night, I walk on, crackling crispness, fast-fallen leaves, Like shots from a distant fight. Stark, bare limbs filter the weakened Sunlight, all that my […]
More Not Than There
People Over Politics, Survival Over Surrender, World Over Wealth! ~~~~~ I want to write, paint, design something profound. Still, I’d also like recognition even a little money.

All Together
People Over Politics, Survival Over Surrender, World Over Wealth! ~~~~~ I have shown you wonders beyond imagination, revealed to you the smallest parts of my being.
