That’s What I Think
That’s What I Think ~~~~~ God’s feet I imagine Would not fit In my backyard Nor in the town Where I live Being so large God must be clumsy Or, perhaps, allergic To us, to people Do god’s sneezes Bring storms Mayhap god trips Steps into the ocean Causing rough seas Floods and tsunamis Eating […]
Buy and Bye
Buy and Bye ~~~~~ Can you tell us of days, our future cast How we fared and how long did we last Not really important in the grand scheme Everything changes; whimper or scream All of our glories and all of our horrors Blink of an eye; so much less than hours We all think […]
All Our Winding Ways
All Our Winding Ways ~~~~~ What are the ways We navigate life? Paths we follow; What we choose, Life chooses for us. Locked in Sterile cubicles. No matter How, how much We strive To create, Make them ours. Locked in To desks, To dos and don’ts, Our duties. Trapped in cells, Apps, smart phones, Toys […]
Laid Low
Laid Low ~~~~~ Sitting here and succumbing to the idiot box, While doing my best an idiot not to become. I’ve the world’s knowledge at my fingertips. To ignore it; that that would be really dumb. Are we deaf to reason, blind to illumination? I watch flickering images, hear braying asses. How then can everything […]
It’s Yours
It’s Yours (First published 1/14 ~ Revised) ~~~~~ Whenever life has the last laugh, and it is on you, Drops you in the drink, snaps a lace on your shoe, Challenging and unfair, you may think, often true, But, more often, the problem is all because of you. “Wait,” you say, “How can this be […]

I Sometimes Wonder
I Sometimes Wonder ~~~~~ I sometimes wonder What might have been, If things were different Than they are. It may seem a silly Exercise, a waste of time, But I have plenty Of spare moments As I sit at home, Shelter in place as best I can and sometimes wonder What might have been, If […]

It brings to mind the new we may be, As the world from death and dark rebound. ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ Please, leave a comment and let […]
Will We Learn?
Will We Learn? ~~~~~ What will we learn during our shelter at home? By the thousands, millions, urged not to roam. Will we learn to panic, will we fight, grab all? Whether needed or not; we’re willing to brawl. Will we learn to share and care for each other; Learn to hate, because that’s what […]
Not a Secret
Not a Secret ~~~~~ I accept my death, though I am not ready to go. That will not matter, if my time ceases to flow. We are all seeking balance, day and the night; End the beginning, despite how we may fight. We shouldn’t act foolishly, courting the reaper. No matter your plans, you may […]
