Drawn Together
I see our world grows ever smaller Cultures interact around the globe A wind blows outside, shakes trees Eyes open, I’m shaking in my boots A scientist thinks Earth is shrinking Our world’s actually getting smaller Says gravity’s the culprit, who knew More I pondered, more sense it made Is gravity a prosaic name for […]
And You See
Waiting in a rental car parking lot Wondering what does it mean Jets roar loudly over your head Contrails to places unseen But still it is here that you wait Looking up and out to the west Fog crashes slowly over the hills A misty wave at its crest Inexorably it falls, runs in Fog […]
Lies and Truth
What ways We wander Wonder why Search, seek Twisted trails Tall tales Following fools Meaning morsels Broken breadcrumbs Mired meanders Wide walkways Paved pathways Rural roads Long lanes Dusty drives Graveled grades Sleek superhighways Cacophonous cities Electronic expressways Digital dead-ends Exploring escape Though terrified Buffaloed by Trying times Failing physiques Alliterative advertising Risible rhymes Nonstop […]

The Rest
Things that are lost may reappear Or never show up at all, my dear Neither rhyme nor reason suffices Will explain our talents and vices Despite what doctors, shrinks say It’s all a mystery, but you will pay Knowledge bubbles up from below A truth we cannot possibly know In the end, wonder what it […]
Let Them Sing
Oh how wonderful, wonderfully odd Our setting for this intimate concert Flute, harp and viola sing and dance In an immense, stone museum gallery Plain, but artful to the towering walls White dressed blocks of quarried stone Above a darker gray stone wainscoting A marble floor, patterns within patterns Stark, modern chrome and resin chairs […]
