Long Time Friends

Cannot Respond
Cannot Respond ~~~~~ Have you noticed the oldest and youngest fall in love with other; it’s a special bond? Both have freedom to play, not pass a test; social rules block us, so we cannot respond. ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ Please, leave a comment and […]
Man Makes the Clothes
Man Makes the Clothes ~~~~~ Since I was small, I have so often heard it said, clothes make the man, that it’s become clichéd. Dress for success, mantra many a parent chants. Only first impression, there’s no second chance. Wise words some whiz said, logical conclusion; words with great potential to generate confusion. When imitation […]
Into a Ball
Into a Ball ~~~~~ I know I want to always be clever or, at least, I want to appear to be. Not solely here, in every endeavor. wisdom over smarts, at least for me. I know, time tells what was thought of what I offered and I left behind. Won’t matter what I made, bought; […]
A Single Tear
A Single Tear ~~~~~ What net of illusions do I hope to cast? Magician’s misdirection my future, past. Always on the verge of fathoming truth, feeling all makes sense, a folly of youth.

I seek escape from my nightmare, to return to […]
One Exception
One Exception ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ I sit in my car and write, parked in a neighborhood where I would like to live. Unimpeded Pacific Ocean view, out of my price range. Beside bluffs atop Mavericks. Big wave riding has no appeal, though there is […]
Oligarchy is Malarkey
Oligarchy is Malarkey ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ Do you worry, do you fear people who are born far away from here? I suggest we both look closer to home and what goes where. We’ve been duped by powerful rich fools and our backs are […]
Never Noticing
Never Noticing ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ When night descends in silence. Sergei Rachmaninoff Do we fear the coming night? Do we think our cleverness will best the sun and stars, our perception of time? […]
