Get Along With You
All of us Pawns In a world Full of Sound and Fury With overtones Undertones Key changes Abrupt screams Staccato bullets Muffled by Frail flesh Silenced forever Leaving Rivulets red Brains, gore, guts Belying any Intelligence Fellow feeling Promoting Hatred Shouted at us Until We go mad Forget The tragedy Is not Intolerance Paranoia Fear […]

The Invisible Avatar
Hello? Can you hear me? Can you see me? I hope you can because I fear I’ve become invisible. It’s not everywhere or all the time. It’s not at home or when I’m out in the world. In fact, it’s really only when I’m online. Strangely, I’ve been noticed more recently by strangers. I’ve been […]
In Concert
To make every moment a work of art To see truth in each second of our day Live as if no time is left, embrace all Comprehend magic in the mundane Feel music as a pianist bobs and bows Rocks back and forth like Ray Charles Not blindness, because music is inside Dance’s soul in […]

Searching
I’m trying to figure out what I want. That may or may not make sense to you. What prompts me to say this now are the first two weeks of 2016. I didn’t make any resolutions, but I decided that I was the only person who can change my life. With that in mind, I […]
Beneath the Skin
Beneath the Skin Espresso confusing, pronounced expresso Reflects our hurry through over-busy lives Pillar to post, back again, we ferociously go Worker bees, consumers return to our hives Professed beliefs belie our daily intolerance Which is usually much less than skin deep Yet we all move to the same diurnal dance Wake up in the […]
