Don’t Know What
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ The circus passes through town and keeps going like the parade never intended to stop. But the floozy chorus follows, with long-tongued men following in their wake. Into the cabaret at the end of Clancy St. What? You’ve never been there? You don’t know what you’re missing. […]
Come to Think of It
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ Here they come up the street. Who are they and where are they going? I’m sure, no one knows. Would it really matter? They have green skin and orange eyes, blue hair. They might be from anywhere. Why even Milwaukee sounds like it might be right, come […]
Certainly Not
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ It wasn’t the last time I looked, though I suppose it might well have been. Or might as well have been. Do I even know what I mean by that? If I do, I’m certainly not telling you. ~~~~~ Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment Peace is […]

Wait and See
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ I’m not the man I used to be nor the one I’ll be tomorrow. It’s all a game of wait and see, if time brings me joy or sorrow. ~~~~~ Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Unite the World ~~~~~ Please, […]
I Create
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ The words run out. They run out my pen and stain the paper. Like the map in a heist caper, upside down and turned around, given what I have to say. Which I don’t always know. When I cannot find words, my brush bleeds feeling of the […]
Always More
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ Shall I tell you some stories you’ve never heard before? With a sad tale, a happy tale of birth and death. Joined by love and sorrow along the way from here to there. A boy was born in a village far from here, high upon a mountain […]
Fill the World
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth~~~~~ ~~~~~ Fill the world with harmony. Balance with a dash of bitter. What could possibly be fitter? I need the arts to fill life, in myhome, my being. In all formsand ways of seeing. Can youhear the bell-like tones? Listen. Crashing a pelting storm. Distant waves hidden just out of sight […]
