unsteady as he goes
not sure if my lack of balance is a mental or a physical thing, although
I like to think it is simply mental being
afraid to go out, but who knows ..

This Is What I Would Like To See Happening
I really do
wish they open the shopping
malls back up like the old days.

the argument
you can’t accuse me of living in the past, since it’s not an accusation but the truth is, I’ve lived most of my life in the past and only now in the present.

bird and sky
the bird saw the freedom in the sky,
the sky saw need of the bird.
the sun told me stories,
the bird lifted its head,
seeing the freedom of the sky.
i watched the scene,
it almost became too much.
feathers like birds ran through the air.
the bird saw the freedom of the sky,
different color of feathers flew.
the sun watched it all.
he waited patiently
the bird drank from the air.
the day applauded the spectacle
and nature smiled...

Pour me another stimulant (with reading)

so
gloopy
Despite best intentions to

moments glom together
like stale, fused ju-jubes

forests
forests,
each tree
proudly as
individuals,
each detailed
within
their own
manners,
each mind
firm,
the place
you remember,
but their
acceptance
to be
something more,
combined,
a community.

Because it is Spring After All
Surrounded by lights in the dark
The birds sing
To make their voices heard above the traffic
Because it is spring after all
The breeze is warm through the window
And tomorrow the sun will shine hope
Into my box of a room.
Because it is spring after all.
Sunlight fell across my feet yesterday
From the west
And I smiled
Because it is spring after all
The birds sing
To make their voices heard above the traffic
Because it is spring after all
The breeze is warm through the window
And tomorrow the sun will shine hope
Into my box of a room.
Because it is spring after all.
Sunlight fell across my feet yesterday
From the west
And I smiled
Because it is spring after all

An Island in Time
An Island in Time
I am a prisoner
A trapped person
A homeless person
A package passed about
Unwanted
Washed up here
In this room in the air
Only the view of the clouds
Keeps me sane
As I wait
For my release
For the resumption of time
For my descent
Back into life
Back among people
Back out under the sun
And the rain
And into the wind
To be blown along
As time passes
...

skies above
did it hurt
when you fell
from skies above?
or was it
fast and easy
happening quickly enough?
were you aware
in that moment
of true love?
a sweet warrior
with true motivation
built ford tough
we'll miss you
and your motorcycle
wheelies and cuts
rest well soldier
incredible and kind
trusting your gut
big brown eyes
goofy silly smile

Unloved child
There's a point in time
when ticking dies
and all that's left
is the slow exhaled breath
pregnant with with unspoken thoughts
unwillingly giving birth
to words no one could love
raping the mind
with jealousy and anger
a bastard child born in darkness
a horned demon
from logic's womb
bald of empathy and understanding
crying naked
in a world without love
how could we care
for this offspring of selfish desires
better to place a condom on our tongues
than bring an unloved child
into the world
