Maria's Life In Sixty...
I
Reading of her will.
Short, exact, to the point.
Some kitchen utensils
frozen chicken
pack of spaghetti
tomato paste can...
II
Rain.
Wet.
Enters bar.
Hit and miss regular
asks
what would her legacy be.
Perplexed, befuddled "Huh?"
escapes her lips...
III
Birth in hospital.
Mother pushes and screams...
Out she comes
bloody,
wondering what for?
Doctor cuts umbilical cord.
She sighs...
Reading of her will.
Short, exact, to the point.
Some kitchen utensils
frozen chicken
pack of spaghetti
tomato paste can...

Enters bar.

Merry-Go-round
Work and play and sleep
Lather, rinse, repeat
Round and round we go,
where it stops we already know
Six feet under -
walls of dirt and a bed of clay
Once we dreamed we were kings,
but it was only for a day
Beauty and favor are fleeting
Time is in on the joke
Yesterday's hard-won prizes,
today go up in smoke
All love and labor are useless,
the final result is but one
In the end, our bags are empty
The final journey, we travel alone.
Lather, rinse, repeat
Round and round we go,
where it stops we already know
Six feet under -
walls of dirt and a bed of clay
Once we dreamed we were kings,
but it was only for a day
Beauty and favor are fleeting
Time is in on the joke
Yesterday's hard-won prizes,
today go up in smoke
All love and labor are useless,
the final result is but one
In the end, our bags are empty
The final journey, we travel alone.

Shed a Tear
Shed a tear for the inner child
Who died giving birth to the man
Shed a tear for forgotten dreams
That withered as time moved on
Shed a tear for family and friends
Alive now only in memories,
Existing in faded pictures
On a fragile, crumbling page
Shed a tear for an empty heart
That feels nothing but wasted life
Biding its time in sadness,
Waiting for its turn to die
Collect the tears in a paper cup
And pour them on the ground
May roses spring from the bitter drops
May new beauty soon...
Who died giving birth to the man
Shed a tear for forgotten dreams
That withered as time moved on
Shed a tear for family and friends
Alive now only in memories,
Existing in faded pictures
On a fragile, crumbling page
Shed a tear for an empty heart
That feels nothing but wasted life
Biding its time in sadness,
Waiting for its turn to die
Collect the tears in a paper cup
And pour them on the ground
May roses spring from the bitter drops
May new beauty soon...

Surrounding the Young
We surround the young
Tell them stories they can understand
Of all the old ways
And why we all loved it
How they can start over if they only choose
We dance side by side
The memories spinning around us
They're singing the songs of our lives
To help us remember the good times we've had
And those we hold close, the special ones we love
The storytellers, musicians, the lovers and the dreamers,
The poets and all who are free
The gentle breeze sings the chorus,
But the verses were left empty for us to live
Tell them stories they can understand
Of all the old ways
And why we all loved it
How they can start over if they only choose
We dance side by side
The memories spinning around us
They're singing the songs of our lives
To help us remember the good times we've had
And those we hold close, the special ones we love
The storytellers, musicians, the lovers and the dreamers,
The poets and all who are free
The gentle breeze sings the chorus,
But the verses were left empty for us to live

Da Capo
a wooden X
marks a spot
where all are
stringed.
We never think
of puppetry
as butchery
our cycles tethered
sadistically to old hands
until the end.

THEN WHY DON'T YOU DO IT
THEN WHY DO IT...It's situations in life that will test us in ways we can never imagine, for nothing is written in stone only when it's time, to be place within the ground in this cycle known as life. THEN WHY DO IT... For sometimes we find ourselves in some situations, beyond our control as life sometimes throws us a curve ball or few, down the plate to throw you off your game. THEN WHY DO IT...For we can get involve in some relationships that starts off beautiful, as a magical song we can be involve with our friends and family but somewhere along the way that love, slowly drifts away from...

Jersey Boy
i moved away from my home town
in new jersey at the tender age of thirteen
this is just to say
there is not much geography
to jersey only eight-thousand-seven-
hundred and twenty-nines square miles
the state of new jersey is one-fifteenth the size of Arizona
new jersey fits easily a dozen times times into arizona
(with room left over for delaware rhode island vermont
and some of new hampshire)
if you were born in new jersey then we were born nearby
perhaps not in body, mind or time but in geographic...

Lucid Cloud,
there for the
battle, amid
wing
held up by Her,
and on land
supported by Her,
bring yourself back.
And, positioning Herself above
him,
Impregnates Her, impregnates
Herself on his erect phallus,
engendered phallus, engendered
Sun, Hadit,
Lucid - - all...Your

An Appeal to Olympus
Aye, what a curse to have ever been born,
to be thrust into exile in this cold, foreign land!
What crime did I commit to deserve such a fate?
What obscure, unjust law did I unknowingly violate?
I do not recall any semblance of a trial,
no reading of the charges, no defense of any kind
And yet here I am in this prison of men,
hoping each moment for the nightmare to end
I formally request an early release
Is there a lawyer who’s qualified to handle the case?
…to draw up a petition and submit it to Zeus, ...
to be thrust into exile in this cold, foreign land!
What crime did I commit to deserve such a fate?
What obscure, unjust law did I unknowingly violate?
I do not recall any semblance of a trial,
no reading of the charges, no defense of any kind
And yet here I am in this prison of men,
hoping each moment for the nightmare to end
I formally request an early release
Is there a lawyer who’s qualified to handle the case?

Going 'Round in Circles
If man was truly meant
to live in this world,
then why was he born to die?
If death is the end
and not merely a door,
then why should I even try?
If it is but a cliche
to speak of such things,
it’s because no answer rings true
If no answer is true
with no reason to be found,
the problem must lie with my human-centric view.
