Sweatband
Cheese popcorn
Diet Coke
David Sedaris
No housework done
820 steps
11:00 AM
Wasted morning (except for reading Sedaris)
Up since 4:30 AM
Throat brutally sore
Really needed sleep
Horrible dream: my 89-year-old mom standing alone with a suitcase
forlornly asking
"Where am I going?"
106 degrees
Not even noon
Air quality alert
Just like every day this summer
Crying off and on
Mostly on
Have to do something
Excuses to not go to the basketball court: ...

Banging on the tracks - Motors Roar
Hear the beats - Door to Door
Fenders blend - Personalities bend
Music in the stands
Music on the tracks
Hear the Roar
Hear the crash
Crumpled hoods - Parts fly
Hear the cries
Hear the sighs
Are they O.K. ?
While others try to win
Others look the other way
( 19 June 2024) F.B.

Body
Every so often I’m reminded
of the fact that I have a body.
Today, it hurts.
It’s my own damn fault –
dashing through forest
up and down hills
over roots and mud
for over two hours
will do that to a body.
And I relish the feeling.
Not because I enjoy pain,
but because it means I’m still here
and I get to inhabit this miraculous form
that can smell peace in the spruce trees
see joy in ripples on the streams
and I get to test
what else it can achieve and endure.
Last fall, I ran...
of the fact that I have a body.
Today, it hurts.
It’s my own damn fault –
dashing through forest
up and down hills
over roots and mud
for over two hours
will do that to a body.
And I relish the feeling.
Not because I enjoy pain,
but because it means I’m still here
and I get to inhabit this miraculous form
that can smell peace in the spruce trees
see joy in ripples on the streams
and I get to test
what else it can achieve and endure.
Last fall, I ran...

Not a Fan
I'm not a football fan
but I do like the snacks.
The cheese and crackers
smoked oysters in the can
summer salami and teriyaki bites
vegie sticks and nacho chips
mini burgers in the pan.
The goofy commercials
and maybe the halftime show
but I'm not a football fan.
Laying on the couch
listening to everyone holler and cheer
sweaty guys running around in tight pants
nope, still not a football fan.
but I do like the snacks.

offering
great mother
of the sea
on your altar hear my prayers
sent on gentle gulf breeze
today loose your curl
grant growth to your swell
the final ride for too many
into Heaven or hell
I know you can’t be tamed
or swayed by only one
but today let us merge
before the last carvings done
offering half my grilled cheese
so you know that it’s me
laughing gulls greeting the sun
your blessing is all I need
of the sea
on your altar hear my prayers
sent on gentle gulf breeze
today loose your curl
grant growth to your swell
the final ride for too many
into Heaven or hell
I know you can’t be tamed
or swayed by only one
but today let us merge
before the last carvings done
offering half my grilled cheese
so you know that it’s me
laughing gulls greeting the sun
your blessing is all I need

Giving Up Some Sisterly Love
I am freestyling here
Let my hometown of Philadelphia
Bring the Eagles some good cheer
Ahh..the stadium is on their feet
We fly when our team does beat
Touchdowns..we silently pray to the above
Captured by that soft Sisterly and vibing off some handsome Brotherly love
I have a bet with my bestie. the first bet out of three.
If I win all three bets we head to Dubai in November.
If she wins all three bets, I will be skiing and filming from the slopes.
The next bet takes us to Pittsburgh and...
Let my hometown of Philadelphia

Three Point Shot
Can I do a three point shot in basketball?
A few months ago I said no
To be honest, I wasn't quite sure what it meant
Alone on the court
I don't need rules
or terminology
I just do my own thing
Get in good cardio workouts
release my stress
and feel happier
than almost anywhere else
I finally learned yesterday
from some under thirty guy
who challenged me to a game of PIG
(he won, but it took a while)
after pointing to the areas outside the wide U
he said he thought I could do it
I'd...

Today I joined a crowd--
over thirty thousand souls
(twice the population of my town!)
in the pouring rain
and chilly wind
to test ourselves
running the streets.
What insanity is this?!
Why the quest for
speed
distance
trophies
personal bests?
Is it a dissatisfaction
with our own mediocrity?
A search for some elusive excellence?
Or is it a human drive
to find our limits
and then exceed them
again and again?
All I know is
while dodging the walkers
and slower...

Tahoe Winter Break - Downhill Destroyer
We are going to Ski,
mom announces at the breakfast table.
In harmony
we cry yippee!
I've watched it on TV
How hard could it be?
I speculate naively.
After renting the equipment,
we attend a brief skiing tutorial.
Via rope tow,
we ascend a, so called, bunny hill
that is thankfully not arboreal.
Arriving at hilltop
releasing white-knuckle grasp
from thick towing cord
pointing downhill nervously,
Losing snowplow instantly
Descending way too rapidly,
In a beeline trajectory
Unable...

.......Rush (Can I Get A Moment Of Your Time, Miss. Philly)
Philadelphia state of mind I must speak of
Soft and silken Sisterly affection blanketing by some weakening Brotherly love
An addictive inner city of carnal pleasure seeking distractions
An enticing tour to roam deep within the soul, a rapid pulse for private satisfaction
Mm... the turnpike curves of Pennsylvania, nestled between New Jersey and New York
The main dish of butter rum a la carte can be enjoyed without any spoons or forks
Palate dining pleasure catered for three
Swinging balls enjoying the holes in...

Don't Call it a Bicycle
Don't call it a bicycle
it's much more serious than that
it's an extension of the Id called a bike
and nothing says 'athlete' like
an old man with his game face on
we all pretend, just a little bit anyway
me? I'm Greg Lemond
riding L'Aple d'Huez during Le Tour
I see myself soaring like an eagle
sweat soaked but smooth and powerful
until I'm passed by someone one third my age
No respect
don't they know I'm Greg Lemond?
oh well, I down shift a a couple of gears
just so I can breathe again
and go looking for a coffee...
