Take a second to enjoy the moment.
Slow right down to find fulfilment.
Wait a while to see the change.
You could become spiritual and fly away,
Or remain lost, living life head on,
Accepting all comers, bring it on,
Show me what you got.
If you have anything at all.
Are you a wolf howling at the door?
Or are you Bambi? Is that all you want to be?
Write a book on how to love.
Snap a paint brush when your work is done.
You are not all you have to entertain,
Relax your brain and find a new way,
Float on waves over...
Slow right down to find fulfilment.
Wait a while to see the change.
You could become spiritual and fly away,
Or remain lost, living life head on,
Accepting all comers, bring it on,
Show me what you got.
If you have anything at all.
Are you a wolf howling at the door?
Or are you Bambi? Is that all you want to be?
Write a book on how to love.
Snap a paint brush when your work is done.
You are not all you have to entertain,
Relax your brain and find a new way,
Float on waves over...

Poetry reading in Paris
Paris, six or seven years ago
I was invited to read my poems in front of an audience
At the time I wrote many pro-Palestinians poems
and I had nothing good to say about Israel.
I read my poems for a packed audience, but when I looked up,
must of them had left.
In the room there about five none Jewish people left.
The man who had invited me was a Moroccan Jew we got on well, but he had not asked me what poems I was reading.
He had disappeared with the others, and someone came to switch off the light.
Paris didn´t...

The child chooses..
Sure...the child gets to choose…
but you choose his choices...
That's the way we do it...so...
Late one Saturday morning
a lady stopped by my studio...with her little boy…
She said to her four year old son…
Hey Johnny, wanna have your portrait done?
I cringed...cause I knew what was coming.
Well...as you might expect... Johnny said…"No!"...
Having exhausted her quiver with that one arrow… the lady was lost.for words.
So...I quickly signaled her over ...that...
we might have a chat…

Fear
Butterflies of the most
Tortuous type...
The flapping
Making me nauseous
As the needle comes closer
Delivering a pain
I cannot escape
And that was just the first one...

Paul & Me
I was Picasso
And Paul was Modigliani
We loved and smoked
And drank of course
To wild moons
And even wilder women
We all drank to love
And smoked of course
And Paul was Modigliani
We loved and smoked
And drank of course
To wild moons
And even wilder women
We all drank to love
And smoked of course

Surreal
torn open,
flowers bleeding
painted hands
—reveal
hidden secrets,
screaming
strokes of mastered
colored hues
forecasted,
shades
of promises
that never lasted
beautiful pain
twists to
open a vien
surrealistic dreams
slowly agonize
behind
closed
eyes
flowers bleeding
painted hands
—reveal
hidden secrets,
screaming
strokes of mastered
colored hues
forecasted,
shades
of promises
that never lasted
beautiful pain
twists to
open a vien

Left Brain Analysis of Creation
Left brain analysis of creation
Strips away from the center of my heart
The bleeding artists’ brush, replaced with a chart
That rambles on about numbered equation,
Stealing my time, my inner essence of life-
Bringing into sharp relief the bitter strife
Betwixt left side and right, a dead sensation
Eating its fill of half-formed canvas, smeared
By obligation, to which I’ve adhered
To lackluster forms, banal translation
Of artist by analytical mind,
Leaving me dry and perhaps less refined-
To drown in pools of artistic stagnation.
Strips away from the center of my heart
The bleeding artists’ brush, replaced with a chart
That rambles on about numbered equation,
Stealing my time, my inner essence of life-
Bringing into sharp relief the bitter strife
Betwixt left side and right, a dead sensation
Eating its fill of half-formed canvas, smeared
By obligation, to which I’ve adhered
To lackluster forms, banal translation
Of artist by analytical mind,
Leaving me dry and perhaps less refined-
To drown in pools of artistic stagnation.

Synesthetica, Part II, (Audio)
ii. audio (sound)
my feet
scurrying,
each footfall
it’s own
impetus
forward -
sounding off
subtly,
water cascading
frantically
from
tired soles,
searching for
their way
home
natural
streams
carrying
the weight
of our
unnatural
consumption
floating busily
along
concrete channels
designed
for capture -
inevitable death
and the ultimate
cleansing
await,
a true
suicide...
