The Turning Wheel
This moment, now This turn on the wheel Of our universal unicycle Of linear time I understand Being everywhere And nowhere In all places All the time Everyone, everything Only our vantage Changes So persecutors now Become persecuted The hunter hunted Prey the predator As the wheel turns We changes positions Sometimes on top Sometimes […]
What We Always Know
When I think about beauty, I confess What makes me happy looks the best Bright colors, harmony, truth or jest Although I also like much of the rest Think minor chords as well as tragedy May impart more truth than reality We survive tempest to feel tranquility It’s all just on or off, to be […]
Without Exception
Minds, when open like a blooming flower Pollinated by ideas each and every hour Open eyes can only see but not perceive Closed minds neither, unable to receive Pen marries paper, sparks a new flame Flame marries taper, fire briefly tamed Bow caresses strings, tender as true love Ethereal music brings down from above Brush […]
Rotten to the Core
Cannot anyone help me understand Our world’s oh so obvious insanity People only, the Earth works grand Can I hide where none can find me Enter the asylum, numbed by drugs Or self-medicate and live vicariously Stoned or drunk, suck media dugs Consumed by, crime, soaps, reality I have tried to take the blame before […]
Turning a Blind Eye

Tired, oh so tired I struggle through My days, my daze Fight and push myself Till all of me pays The price Of one good day May cost me two Too late now My eureka moment Came deep in life Still, I’m sure, I hope I have many years Multiplied by days Pain, mental fog […]
Today
Today I stopped for coffee, don’t we all Those of us, at least, who enjoy the taste It‘s not even merely caffeine’s siren call Just to sit, think, to savor time to waste I listen to nearby folk talk and I wonder How it is that all of us are now right here Sometimes I […]
The Crying of Hat 10 1/2
Events in life happen when they must A meaningless assertion at its very best Events in life do happen when they do So, they must happen when they must This tautological sophistry oft repeated Is proclaimed to proclaim proclamation Proof of nothing can only prove nothing There is nowhere to go from this point Therefore, […]
Still on the Shelf?
A dog-eared page In an old book Mirrors my mood Phantom reason Marked as special, I fervently hope For unknown purpose An unremembered time Or accidental Compressed too long Hidden, neglected, fragile Forest and trees Broken off, lost Handle with care My life attacks A whirlwind child Imperious Nature Unaware, uncaring My dog-eared self Bent […]
String Theory
Oh what a wonderful word and thing is string All the names we call it and the ways we use it Thread-woven cloth on the seat where you sit? Or long hairs on a bow, so a cello’s strings sing Do I hear you mutter or proclaim hemp or jute The ball of yarn your […]
