Poetry means making
Artists must create

Hidden in the world
The little way the great

Arab man in the desert
Yearning peace not hate

Human life is exile
Where is home? Debate.

H.L. Mencken said
Theology
Is replacing the Unknowable
With the Not Worth Knowing

But I've walked alone in rain
In Baltimore's Inner Harbor

Spoke of American politics
With my polite southern barber

Saw Springsteen live in Detroit
Not Ann Arbor

And I sense the Unknown
Is Father and Farther

We come up short
And we go down hard

It's too true, Bruce
In my backyard

Can't quite find
Search and search

Concert hall
Quiet church

Scifi movie
Moby ****

Young sons sung
Point guard quick

Drifting days
Starry nights

Shakespeare plays
Marital fights

Childhood memory
Mr. Spock Kites!

6:37
probably apophenia
but still I am aware

aliens who care?

Some say lay the Dead to rest
Some say meet them again

Some say we disappear forever
Like we've never ever been

The priest said, Life comes from death
The Silence says Nothing like Zen

I say I still miss her very much
And I often wonder when

                     I will enter in

George Thorogood in Jersey
Who do you love, child?

Emily in Amherst
Nights O so Wild!

We cycling in Stockholm
Happiness afternoon

Painting in our kitchen
Lovely Flaming June

My roommate in Hong Kong
Bay called Kowloon

Basketball again tonight
Will the deer appear sign soon?

Hey Mr. W!
Did you ever notice
That Johnny Cade's initials
Are J.C.
And he sacrificed his life
To save those kids in the church
Just like Jesus Christ sacrificed his life
To save us all from our sins?

That's very perceptive, Michelle.
Well done.

Stay Gold, Ponyboy. Stay Gold.
