~~~~~ Could I say, to you, the hedgehog wondered And the sailboat rolled across the mighty seas? Dungarees, stonewashed and ripped at the knee. What wars have lasted the longest, I wander?  War Meaningless, to us, endless and fought far away? Insurrectionists and conspiracy  theorists thrive, Hide deep in bunkers until the open the sally […]

~~~~~ Speaking to a stranger with common ground, Though the setting is alien to our daily lives. Shared interest, music, a universal language, Waiting, the hall fills, the orchestra appears. Clattering steps down the stairs. Young feet And old changing seats, seeking a best view. To see and hear, closer or farther depending. The orchestra […]

~~~~~ A clumsy rearrangement of the players. A forgotten score, a shifting of brass. To see that global warming can call forth Both the ultimate disaster and salvation A perspective I have never dreamed So easy to see once shown, so hidden By prophets and profits, disguising What should be obvious, plain to all. How […]

~~~~~   Each word I write comes from a placeWhich jazz musicians know well.Riffing off the world and each otherWhich will never sound the same twice.Each dependent on brief feelings,The vibe of the moment, connection.Never right or wrong, barely there.So that when it’s written downThe rest of us hear but a spark, an instantThat echoes, […]

~~~~~ My eyes shout beware. No one hears.Their hearts and minds set on findingUnknown, unnamed treasure they’veBeen assured they’ll discover in time. Beware, you’re told, you must take itFrom those who claim what is yours.Rich will tell you to fear your friends,Tthe strangers they turn you against. Weep your tears, too salty to nourish.The love […]

~~~~~ Changes upon changes upon changes, From our birth until our final cerement. Myriad the changes sought and life-sent. In love and enmity, we may find satiety, Follow harmony and discord past variety. No matter the songs, notes or words cast, These and all must come to an end at last. Worry not of future […]

  ~~~~~ Are we contemplating our days of future past? Do we think anyone will remember us at last? Study us, analyze where, when, why we ended, discover how we died, greatness we pretended. Will they applaud us as the sun, moon and stars. view us like the finest horses, fastest race cars? Discard us […]

~~~~~ In the light of the sunset,I saw the eyes of truth.Though they showed the debtI accrued in youth. They left me smiling, just the same. In the glory of the dawn,I heard the voice of all creation,saw the raptor and the fawn.I lived in their reflection, Laughed at everyone and myself. In the heat […]

~~~~~ Thoughts on Western Art & Culture “Just wait. Not so fast,” she said.“Yours isn’t the only point of view.Most of those you tout are dead.So why should we listen to you?” “Your folks are surely worthwhile.They’re not the only who’re great.We evolves in time and in style.And not all are or should be late.” […]
