Spare Change
I say it and I say it and I say it again. I say it this way, I say it that way, I say it another way. No one listens. Perhaps I’m preaching to the converted, but I cannot tell. Give me an Amen. Somebody. Anybody. Please. I realize I write for me before others, […]
Life’s Tough
No matter what you may do Or where you may go in life Life will appear to aim at you You think you’d be singled out Cosmos is 91 billion LY large If not the focus, will you pout Each day, if sun or rain, enough And the moon and stars at night Don’t get […]
Olduvai Gorge and the Origin of Human Ecological Dominance
Earth Day – 2015: Took a while to post, but here it is Tired, cranky, cold and standing much too long Other people, let in early, will sit in front of me At a talk about the rise of human eco-dominance Eco equals ecological, also equals now economy Those that’s got gets, learned at my […]
A Better View
I often wonder, how did we get into this mess I mean, we did not choose to grow our brain Who decides to confront predators, such stress Sharp fang and claw, able to cause acute pain Where else in the universe, would you suppose Evolution played this little joke, what survived Not really a joke […]

We use such an imagined being or beings to grant blessings to our endeavors, no matter whether they are well-meaning and […]
In the Key of E – Energy
Sad to say, you’ll wonder, the prince of darkness has lost his place The world outside informs me the king of darkness wears that face Or is only me who is lost, despite the daily horrors we are shown Only me and only I who believes that humanity’s sanity has flown Choices and choices upon […]

Could it be that I have found and lost my way Will it all change tomorrow, or stay like today Mostly I have questions, while answers I offer None will make you powerful nor fill a coffer Does anyone know right questions or answers The sinking Titanic; don’t disturb the dancers Take me to your […]
When Fear Fades
When fear fades, what will I discover Maybe another person the same as me One who struggles to meet like needs Who seeks the same answers that I do When anger fades, who will I become Will I learn to be patient, quiet, to wait Never to merely speak, but to converse To think, feel […]
Have You Decided?
Have you decided you’ll become friends with death? Not that you’re ready to visit death’s home quite yet Death knows your time and your place and will wait Only until that moment and not one moment more Conjoined to life, they’re intimate, know every breath Don’t chance avoiding this end; that’s not a good bet […]
