WANDERING
old men
are wandering tonight
wandering and wondering
bumbling along in their baggy pants
and stained shirts
making left turns
into ditches
or looking for time clocks
and lost loves, long deceased
and calling for their dead dogs
and trying to find their way home
for hours on end
and they are checking
for their wallets
and rechecking
and checking again
and they are looking for keys
in dark houses
where second notices go unnoticed
and...

Coffee Shop Buddha
Coffee Shop Buddha
As an older man among a younger crowd, I wonder what the students think of me. Probably they assume me to be a hobo in my frayed jacket and unshaven face. Then again they might be right on target that I am an alumnus from this academic castle who is there to relive his younger years. If they are very perceptive they might notice my eyes wandering across the feminine field of vision to take in the cornucopia of lovelies that populate the coffee shop realm.
But maybe the barista girls are sympathetic to my singular plight and are receptive to...

dear, 17
17 years
or 6,210 days
or 149,040 hours
or 8,941,136 minutes
or 536,457,600 seconds
that's how long i've lived
and how long i’ve been on this earth
i'm officially 17
numerically speaking--
that's a long-ass time
realistically, i blinked and it happened
a flash, and here i am
i know i have many years ahead
and many sleepless nights in my bed
but i feel so incredibly old
what feels like
2 seconds ago i was going into high school

FREE ME TO LIVE
They say that we got to go through something's, to appreciate and understand the true meaning to value, as nothing shall last forever but yet there is always a tomorrow if we dream, that there could be a beautiful blessing to tomorrow. For I know that might not make sense at this moment in time, but it's just something to pass on to the subconsciousness of your mind. For here I am as I am a mere man of a present of what is called life, yet I am who has an past that follows an path towards my unspoken and unknown future. But yet beneath the surface of my subconsciousness, echoing through the...

Lady Luna
lie at your
leisure
down in the mist
of a dream of mine, the dream of a broken old man, alone
in his diminished world worth little, (if anything at at

Moon Maiden all aglow in a place
beyond my space. ( He's a'wishing

BOG-QUAG (1983, Laguna Beach, California)
so oft
bogged down
in life s
myriad quags
what fate
this disconnected cog
intently hounded
by paper dogs
lost at odds
in social fogs
distortia
all around me
wave after wave
of such mazes
amaze me
downtrodden in life
not even
the grave s free
time
life s fickle friend
will tease
taunt
and trample me
to the end ...

Love In The Age Of The Asterik
messy dopity dope searchin' for the arms
of hope
(forget the grope while)
holy hope hops
right into the breech.
Forget the bloody

elderism has descended

WHAT MADE YOU STRONGER
It's funny how sometimes that what we once lived through sometimes, has a way of creeping back into our lives when we least expect it. Due to the misconception that we have become blinded by false accusations. But sometimes that is the real reality of our lives basically, as it is and how it feels of what our life is like through our own eyes. For we didn't chose the life we live and still had to learn to adjust, to situations that affects the very roots of our faith and trust in someone else. Who gave us birth into life's existences as young people's of the world, even though we are born...
