First this- all you see and all you don't see.

It was evening, it was morning.

Sky in the middle of waters.

He called the sky Heaven.

"But I could only see clouds" Frankl

You

My foot all bound up; I feel all wound up.

I miss working morning, noon and night

regardless of the transition, workload, commute or flight

Now not admitting  that working is all complete pleasure & joy

but must admit that man quickly becomes disinterested with man's toys

To some capacity in life we are meant to serve, sweat and salute

to this world in constant demand of some pre-cut provided tasteful fruit

Whether the food service, office work, teaching or manual labor

there is also help wanted in customer service if you are blessed with the favor

And hey they say two brains are better then 1,

coworkers if you let em in, if right, can be quite fun

And in the end if you've played your cards right and done the job real well

your boss may comment, critique and tell

And if said comments do not erupt out of rage

be happy when it's that time of week - you get a wage!

This Moment

I am merley walking back to the garden
with it's lush tranquil corners an trimmed

Room # 2 - 109

All kept up, it hurts to exist

Everything in life's story passionate uncomfortable resist.

I am not sorry for the sick man in bed

because I know that discovery lies before recovery

And now know recovery doesn't lie so much over your head

as it does in the tips of your toes and cheeks

and arms and thighs.

We cannot apologize for pain nor can we ignore it.

All we can do is stand in ones shadow 

hand and hand in hope to exist. 

Because pain doesn't go away over 

but more timed wishes & belief in a truthful tomorrow.

Birthday Surprise!

I'm Beginning To See The Light

Through the years may we draw upon them to create a more just and peaceful world."

My Number

Nearly nude, on the ground you ask for second chances
the only chance you were given was the breath of life
breathe in deep, all around
and trust in something not familiar.
Anyways who every enjoyed dancing in dresscodes while committing the commuter route.
It's all about being it.
no doubts, no delusions, no dares, just deep awareness you're it,
welcome to the club.
We don't card because were sick & tired of anything subpar to sober fun.
were about short shorts, ride up tees and long walks in the shade
sunglasses, mint gum, pulled back hats and fresh washed jeans
training wheels off, forever plaid and baggy tyedye tanks and tea
Minnesota summers are hot and humid, but
we never lose it.

Bernadette Peters Swings He Arms

One day, you gotta promise you're gonna try

I've been scared of silence,

ever since you claimed the quiet sound.

I've also been scared of contact,

due to it's consequences.

But I am no longer afraid of trains.

and walking in the crosswalk.

But I am scared of myself alone.

And what the lonely mind does to matter.

I have seen the world change with the wind,

but, what about the water?

Where did wonder go?

Or have I forgotten it's face?

Eyes  crossed

I thought I was losing vision.

Eyes uncrossed

I was just no longer sleepy.

But it is hard not to see things as they are,

when things appear different from how they used to look.

We all keep complaining for back through the past,

when I cannot wait for the future through our finger tips.

Let's be the ones to search & enjoy through the exit

Because we may have missed our own raw beginnings.

Eyes crossed undone, I leave my lips  for world tasting.

Got To Get You Into My Life

Favored fun near the flame

Tis the Fourth
and I am now only now here to wonder about you
tis the fourth
and were not even particularly close at the moment.
Still I care so much still- a world's frill, will & testament, and I believe.
I wonder where we go & from here what we are?
But if you were wondering what we could become besides our wishes-
I envision lasting liesiosins of deep hued purpled passion,
canyons and valleys of sequined tan & silver & granite grey mirage
yellow tool strung throughout, almost as lace delicately placed apparent apertures
blue & green flood the sky not unlike the stone street pebbled in green & blue speckled serenity
And the picture looks okay and modest in some humble beauty-
marked with such intrigued presentation,
 you couldn't help but take a second long look.
The red? you say? .....but where is our bold leading man? Who's to say?
We only believe.
But if you must insist, I'll let confide through these words the deep redest red thats seepin' inside.
And I still believe we have yet only painted only in our dreams.

And I wonder why paint when we could record uncoiling, merrily walk, sing slow, dance as we do, read and lead with the words of others, engage in echoes everywhere,  lead each other around in laughter,  set our hearts closer the flame, picnic in plain places, or skip to the zoo!

How Long Must I Wait

"Why did you believe them?
To make you think there was no way escaping it.
to scare you.

Submissive mind,
You didn't even knock on the walls to check to find out for
yourself.
Because if you did,
You would have felt cardboard against
the back of your knuckles
and you would have been angry.
You would have wondered what else was a lie
You did what would have done.
I would have  ripped that thing fucking thing apart
and pissed on it
As for the first time
you felt a ray of sunshine
kiss the back of
your neck."
