Can you remember the present,
or only the past

And what of the future,
clairvoyant at last

Are the walls artificial
and the boundaries lame

Is time only mental
—perception to change

(Rosemont Pennsylvania: March, 2020)

Beyond comparison,
they rise when we fall

Uniquely divergent,
to impale and enthrall

No reference or genre,
descriptions confound

Bowie and Jagger
—alone in the crowd

(Dreamsleep: March, 2020)

My reward not determined
by anyone else

Thorns as
roses named

Words carry inward
on breath I define

Acceptance
—self ordained

(Dreamsleep: March, 2020)
