We Are All Masochists (or Are We All Masochists?)
in life pain is inevitable.
physical, emotional, spiritual.
where do you fall on the spectrum
of human masochism?
most of us, sometime
during our life,
willingly enter
the pain cave.
athletes pushing
despite discomfort and injury,
students studying
to the point of exhaustion,
climbers enduring
frigid temperatures and lack of oxygen,
long distance hikers
enduring blisters and losing toenails.
extreme sensation-seekers
using their bodies to test limits.

Strength
don’t you dare give up
get back on your feet
you’re stronger than you think
no more tripping
no more bitching
no more self pity
time to say to yourself
“shit! i’m alive!
i can do this!”
it is not
the first step
(as commonly believed)
but the decision to act
that is in itself
the beginning of the journey

Fading Memory
solar radiation
orange red purple
cloudy irregularity
focused through
corneal filtration
visions of eye
analyzed with
retinal detachment
cerebral recognition
unrecognizable
patterns shifting color
increasingly intense
fading slowly
oozing into
shades of gray

Getting Unstuck
when you’ve been stuck
in one place too long
its best to
toss a grenade
right where you are
and run
run. like hell
to the next adventure

Linguistic Impotence
those who know do not speak
those who speak do not know
everything we say and don’t say
creates a wake
waves and troughs
pounding shores
at the edges
of what we mean
imprecise language relentlessly
grinding away
the periphery
of what we know

What’s In Your Junk Drawer?
twist ties and bottle caps
refrigerator magnets
mysterious keys
pens that don’t work
lost loves
broken dreams
misplaced desires
pains losses sorrows
what’s in your junk drawer
mismatched socks
stale bubblegum
things that no longer work
life’s leftovers
why not empty the junk drawer
repurpose it fill it with
new loves
new adventures
new goals
instead of a junk drawer
why not
create
a treasure chest

How Long?
dust to dust
ashes to ashes
how long is a poem?
from one big bang
to the next
birth until death
beginning to end
dark to light
invisible to visible
front to back
from matter to energy or
to what matters most
lust to grief
hate to gratitude
ignorance to understanding
how long is this poem?
silence to symphony
canvas to masterpiece
when does this poem end?
perhaps never
after the ink
runs dry
ideas...

Collision
when two worlds collide
explosions of lustiness
and calm discipline
