When We All Know
Everybody dies So why do we try So hard to pretend We will never end Hold tight the ignorant Insanity of youth When we all know the truth This is not meant To cry false sentiment How we face this Whether with no solace You and I decide intent Or with aplomb Earth, water, fire, […]
Coffee Break’s Over
Thinking about meaning, life, the universe, everything And remembering the question’s answer is forty-two Fun and silly, but, I believe, it may be onto something The one percent, owning most of America, worry, too Statistically I recently heard, that in another sixty years Our wasp majority population figure will have dwindled The exact figure I […]
Intent Ion
Minuscule beyond imagining Cation meets anion Sudden explosion Screaming outward All directions, growing Spinning, spiraling into A being vast Beyond comprehension Thirteen point eight billion Years alive, expanding Encompassing life Teaching, learning Amazing, baffling Inexorable Examining from within Delving diligently Piecing together A totality puzzle No sample image Unrecognizable wreckage Ruins or futures Concepts, thoughts, […]
Acknowledge the Day
Three cheers, I say, to my very good day A day which I may well pay for tomorrow Which is already a few minutes underway Think it’s all right on tomorrow to borrow I have written and painted and shopped Worked on a project to faux knotty pine Lunchtime, I even sat down and stopped […]

Blue Screen Cafes

If we made our lives wide open to reading, music, art How would we choose, decide where we should start Never relished classical, like in the Saturday cartoons Hate rock, jazz, yet to elevator Muzak you hum tunes Presentation may be wrong; nothing works every age Not just times around the sun; how each fills […]
