chance encounter on a weird 3rd Friday of the 10th month in the 61st year of my life
out shopping
ran into an old
friend
lost track of
the years
( life happens)
"How long has
it been?"
"Jesus!
That long?"
we began
to laugh,
because we were
both still
alive

Homesick
Skydiving cats with umbrellas on dots
wouldn't agree with your humble conclusion;
the witch is silently crying, the knots,
she wants to cause some confusion....
I love it when karma hits...
me, not the others - to be clear,
maybe finally my wits
will come together, shall I hear
the message of the Universe
to follow the path of the sublime;
oh but what will happen to her curse
when she has to face The Time?
I am not sure how karma unfolds
its ways and how it justice brings,
I shall not think,...

INTERSTELLAR COMMUNICATION
When I was a student at Cal
There were bookstores open at night
Near me I think were Barnes and Noble
Also Moe's
With Cody's not too far away
And don't forget Pegasus
I read books a lot more
Before the age of the internet
Of course back then
I wrote in forms
That could not travel to you
Quite like this

Mortality's Smile
Mortality's Smile
Consciousness
is
the outcome
when
the body,
mind,
heart,
and soul
all
work
in
synchronicity,
a loftiness
they,
each one,
seek
to spiral
into the helix
of all
dreams.

Forty Years Of Playing Video Games
I've been playing video games for forty years. I began playing video games in April of 1981 at the age of nine. The first game that I played was Phoenix. For those who may not know, Phoenix is an arcade game that was released by Centuri in 1980.
When my brother started talking about playing arcade games, I thought I wouldn't be interested, but it made me curious. I decided to check out the Phoenix arcade machine at Kroger. I put a quarter in the coin slot and fell in love. I now own a Phoenix arcade machine that I bought in 2002 but sadly, it no longer works.
I loved...

Late Heavy Bombardment
I said "look, I'm going to go
and finish up my study on
the Late Heavy Bombardment".
He asked, "does that have something
to do with dogs"?
Looking at Louise,
and gesturing his sweetness her direction.
"No", I said, "no it doesn't."
Walking through to my study,
I wondered what I had said,
what it
might have even sounded like...
and finish up my study on

Pacman; Ghosts of the past
Haven't the ghosts driven you crazy yet?
Their attitude is not encouraging
Life after life, is it the same as before?
So what is this zeal for? ...
Fighting ghosts, even after death,
Break on a visit, chase and break bones with
ethereal jaws, worn out mouths
On a completely virtual firmament
They feed on lives, and only live on that
You get stronger, but only for a while
You change roles, but again a blow to your crown
And even the end of the game is not the end,
the Credits lie
Always wandering...

Remark able morphemes
Understand,
this is
done............
Word on!
What would happen
if you play on words?
They would answer
all of your questions
perhaps
maybe I'm sure
as far as one
could ask another
they would know
something.
Words know each other in a very morpheme type sense, ba-dum-bump! (no body will get that) the thing about a word is, someone has to play with it, and think about it.. This is how a word becomes human.
Free morphemes!
Get your free morphemes!

cables
the gentle rumble of the car
shakes the metal bottle in the cup holder
next to my mom’s elbow.
when the asphalt switches to cement
there’s a drowning hum that
lifts me from my thoughts.
must be a bridge.
the leather seats are cold.
but I’m the perfect height to take up
all the space they have to offer.
slowly
as if not at all
the black cables
through the window
above my feet
snake across the sky.
below the sun’s reach I’m
imbued in being
nowhere in particular.
shakes the metal bottle in the cup holder
next to my mom’s elbow.
when the asphalt switches to cement
there’s a drowning hum that
lifts me from my thoughts.
must be a bridge.
the leather seats are cold.
but I’m the perfect height to take up
all the space they have to offer.
slowly
as if not at all
the black cables
through the window
above my feet
snake across the sky.
below the sun’s reach I’m
imbued in being

I think you'd be proud
I think that if you saw me now and saw all the things I do, you'd be proud.
Proud of the effort I put in and the drive that I've found.
But you are now many worlds away from me, and I can hardly grasp the details that once made me cry for hours, just for remembering them.
And maybe the woman who would have been proud - and glad - is just no longer there.
But I sit here and I work hard. I don't do it for you, and I didn't get here for you. But I do it, and I work hard, and I think that you would've been proud of who I have become.
It...
