What We Always Knew
~~~~~ “How can I move forward, when I don’t know which way I’m facing?” John Lennon These words, so true, set my heart racing. With all I’ve learned, know how to do, and cool and useful stuff I can make, why never have I felt comfortable with life, or even the direction I should take? […]
Paranoia Will Destroya
~~~~~ Strange, disturbing and unnatural, the sight I witnessed earlier today, two people, women, sitting outside, talking in the old-fashioned way. No phones, smart or dumb, no tablets, no pads, no games, no e-readers, could I detect anywhere. Should I go and warn our fear-filled leaders? Anyone not plugged in twenty hours per day might miss […]
Never a Wrong Time
~~~~~ It is not like I just remembered, though in a way I did, some part of me wanted to be a poet when just a kid. Like my artist, which got squashed while still in school, I’ve waited until my current age to find I had the tools. If I had been better, had […]
The Human
~~~~~ I have posted two versions of this, using different animals. It dawned on me today, I need to take a more direct approach to have a chance of actually communicating my fear. ~~~~~ Human! Human! spurning right Will you vanish in the night? When mortal weapon, hand or spree Shall end thee for eternity. […]
Too Late Considered
~~~~~ Home Complex confusing and contentious conversations may prevail, when sundry family members to the wide world do disperse. Traveling from home-based roots, trekking far beyond the pale. lessons learned young may not survive from cradle to hearse. Or lessons taught are planted deep, rooting values far too well. When elders change their diet, cultivating […]

You wonder about divine choirs Unsure of what they might sing? As names and voices are shared. This magic of a sacred moment, renders our songs celestial fair, with power that […]
Stories We Tell

Want Vs. Care
~~~~~ For want of a seed, the shoot was lost. For want of a shoot, the plant was lost. For want of a plant, the flower was lost. For want of a flower, the bee was lost. For want of a bee, the plant was lost. For want of a plant, the food was lost. […]
What Need?
~~~~~ I heard a question most recently, which, I must say puzzled me. Seriously, someone asked, you see, what do we have any need, jeez, for tigers to walk among the trees? And while I pondered, I realized, I could never, ever compromise. So, seriously, I ask you now, why, what need have tigers wandering […]
This, Too, Shall Pass
~~~~~ What distinguishes, creates demarcation between living and life? Can they be divided or shared, like pieces of pie cut with a knife? Or. only the viscera of being alive, breathing and eating and shit. Simply work, chores, needful daily obligations; that cannot be it. In relationships you always hear such a lot of talk […]
