While Waiting for a Late Plane
Strangest thing I’ve seen; I think it’s nuts. Airplane seats get smaller to fit bigger butts. While Waiting for a Late Plane While in Cleveland, waiting for an incoming plane which was late and destined to be our outgoing plane, it occurred to me that waiting at a gate in an airport is like almost […]
Thoughts About Winning
Everyone I know likes to win, games, contests, lotteries or almost anything. Winning makes us believe the universe or the (G)god or gods we believe in have noticed us. More, not only have they noticed us, they approve. I’ve never quite grasped the concept that some supreme being, responsible for the entire universe, spared much […]
Along Your Merry Way
In the deepest darkest depths of night When all your thoughts shriek danger, fright When evil looms within your sight Dawn will come When wicked winter winds into your marrow bite When storm-dark clouds bring sleet and snow and ice And every day you live feels black as night Spring will come When every urge […]

DICHOTOMY PROJECT
Found Verbiage Free Verse As I’ve begun exploring what haiku, poems and stories can be garnered from the headlines, sub-heads and captions (the bold-faced type) in my local daily newspaper, I’ve begun to wonder what this might say about our existence at this moment in time.

All Bets Are Off Part I
My extremely simplified recap of how I think we got where we are… Who do you suppose first stood upright, cooked food, sheltered in caves, constructed huts, wrapped animal skins around themselves and whatever other first you can imagine? These people changed our paradigm, our world view, and nothing would ever be the same again. […]
All Bets Are Off Part II
All Bets Are Off Part II My extremely simplified recap of how I think we get where we are and why and how we need to change, continued.
