Standing on My Head
This morning I decided I would start wearing My whole head right on the bottom of my feet It means I will no longer get to wear an earring But I’ll see where I’m walking down the street I’ve decided to leave my nose to sit atop my neck That way, I can smell […]
Care Enough to Ask
My mind is moiled, roiled, in turmoil and looking for a sign How can I, should I, shall I my thoughts and my deeds align To center my vision, steady my aim, get closer to my target Around the corner, in the future far away, so hard to mark it I must forget everything […]
Analyze the Reasons
Here’s a crazy thought that just jumped into my mind If what’s distant from our sight, light years in the past Could somehow make us the far-off future of our kind Be afraid, so badly we have done, in this role to be cast Would we be like future supermen to cavemen long ago […]
Screw It
Walk along with me for just a little while Away from prying eyes Perhaps we’ll walk along the ocean’s shore To muddle prying ears A raucous bar tonight might also fill the bill Over a couple of beers Please don’t talk to me while I’m at home Or if we should meet Or call […]
Nary a Thought or Care
My cat has come to like me, at least that’s what I think, Kneads me hard; her sharp claws into my soft skin sink. Clearly her inflicting pain must be a sign of her affection C’mon, she is a cat, but maybe not after serious reflection Dogs worship us, even though they’ll yank us […]
Full Circle
Stones, sticks, bones, clubs and a handy sling With the limited destruction they could bring Led to spears and chiseled points to pierce Killed bigger game made us feel more fierce Poles, staffs, and staves brought combat closer Man to man, forget the hunt, don’t be the loser Dagger, dirk, stiletto, knife, cleaver and […]
What We Always Knew
What We Always Knew “How can I move forward, when I don’t know which way I’m facing?” John Lennon These words, so true Set my heart racing With all I’ve learned Know how to do and Cool and useful stuff I can make, why never Have I felt comfortable With life, or even the Direction […]
If We Were to Cease
1816 I feel the fool tonight, though certain I hope we will crush in its birth My words, sentiments echo The aristocracy of our moneyed corporations Statesmen, leaders long dead Which dare already to challenge Why should now be otherwise Our government to a trial of strength Yet otherwise it has become And bid […]
Telling Tales
While at a choral concert A men’s acapella chorus Singing complex songs Based upon the poetry The prose of Shakespeare I forgot the world’s woe All of my own problems Ranged voices in ensemble Deep bass to counter-tenor Telling all our own stories Simply, completely, clearly So we all might understand How we shared […]
Glad We’re Here
Blinded by the news, the views The games and claims of fame, Jihads, land grabs, liberation occupations It’s hard to completely understand The continued good of nations I know the arguments, initial reasons For these and other conventions to From ourselves protect us, each one All of these same arguments Have been made long before […]
