A ‘70s Lament and a Moral
~~~~~ Hearing the music of a long forgotten song, A classic, yet we don’t remember its name. It’s not always even what we would choose. Life is its own agenda, some win, some lose. Reminds us, can’t see what tomorrow brings. How any moment might be paupers or kings. What I would say, choose […]
Whorled Enough and Time
~~~~~ How many names will not be remembered? What numberless stories will never get told? Life on the Earth, with no guaranteed word; No one may remember, when you grow old. Is this any way important, when we’re loved? Mothers, fathers, family and friends abound. To chosen families, we are fitted and gloved. With a […]

Answer to an Unasked Question

Perhaps, we are seeking Is not something we can have, a fortune, Talent, great wisdom, immortality, But […]
Wag Chins, Flap Gums

How do we deal with overdose information, Religion, drugs, sex, TV, or move a mouse? Whatever, we succumb, labor or recreation, King, […]
What If?
~~~~~ What if you could create anything, paint like the greatest artist ever seen, Da Vinci, Rembrandt, Gentileschi, Rousseau, Magritte, Cassatt, Ditko, Kane? No doubt, I haven’t named your favorite, your one and only most fine. The list is so long, I could fill up every notebook that I have ever owned. Then I could […]
Hear the Future
~~~~~ I see the sea going on forever Obsessively pawing the shore. Know it, of course is Luna-sea Despite how near or how far. We respond because we must; To refuse beyond our powers. We will linger until we’re dust Over the space of a few hours Will we see space and time one? We […]
Farewell – A First World Lament
