Qualyxian Quest Jul 2020
Basketball till 4 a.m.
Only insects in the night

Solitude, O solitude,
Thinking of our plight

Chesterton in the mail
Correct, but not politically right

St. Tomas More laid it down
Utopia insight

The king's loyal servant.
But God's first.
Loyalty like a light.

Shakespeare's religion mysterious
But, Harold, he wasn't a God hater

Nihilistic moments, yes
A playwright, not a debater

We are such stuff as dreams are made on
I saw The Tempest in snow Staunton

Prospero like a magic show
The language like a phantom

London calling to the Underworld
Harry, don't let your Aunt in!

The sound of klezmer music,
as in Woody Allen's movies,
always makes me think
a secret is escaping. Unharmed.

Always makes me smile.

Everybody Says I Love You
Midnight in Paris
Freud or Dostoevsky? The Trial.
Qualyxian Quest Jul 2020
The hope for hidden things
The sense that this is all

The way Joan Baez sings!
The stupid Trumpfuck Wall

I am a Wayfaring Stranger
And I play basketball

Michael Jordan, Jordan River
Carolina against all ya'll!
Qualyxian Quest Jul 2020
I would like to think the glasses
Came from her vibration

Cam Cam found them for me
He is my elevation

I have now let go
No letters, calls, or wishes

Fantasies forever
But I just do the dishes

Episcopalian Church
Celtic Cross,  Amherst Vespers

I'm often silent in my search
Her hair still my mind Mesmers!
Qualyxian Quest Jul 2020
America has no friends
Only interests
Said John Foster Dulles

But who would want
To live like that?
Fezzick, the portcullis!

The Princess has been stolen
Caps and gowns and tassles

To get her back takes courage
Have fun Storming the Castle!
Qualyxian Quest Jul 2020
Imagination is more important
Than Knowledge

Mr. Einstein, I agree.

Just my Imagination
Runnin' away with me

I think she thinks it isn't real
A foolish fantasy

But my love proves true
How to make her see?

A little poetry.
