All of Me
I swirled as a seed Caught within the flood Following the torrent Toward safety, doom Danced along a precipice Hidden by the storm Imagined I was apart Unconnected, unprotected Bashed, battered Buffeted by unseen force Believed I wouldn’t, Couldn’t have mattered Wandering along Washed up upon An unknown shore I lay silently Quiescent, unknown Parched, […]
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 […]
This Doctor Said
I This doctor said I might be crazy No real worry, if the doc’s unsure I get twisted, my mind most mazy Will I get out; will they find a cure Well’s bottom, as water gets deep The bucket is broken, rope frayed Am I but dreaming, still fast asleep Fear to discover my candle […]

Despite Expectations
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 […]
This Property Condemned
It was the third house on a far block Framed-up on a little dead-end street We thought it was ours, but no lock Just being built and almost complete Still, we went and talked to the owner Who allowed that he’d built it for us Refusal would have been such a boner We said we […]
Full Circle or Geriatric Lament
