2 years at TAS
2 years at Sage Ridge
       not-two

Cold Mountain: no through trail
Heart sutra - empty form prevails

Red Pine in the Taipei night
101 in blue sun. Vegetarian delight.

Ocean's 11, smash and grab job
What's the matter, Benedict?
Did you get robbed?

I know this guy
Tess suddenly sees
         Flees.

Countries are the problem
Armies, nukes, prisons, police

I yearn for the Cosmopolis
As some yearned in Ancient Greece

Socrates revealead what justice is
With those that he did greet

Plato wrote of Eternity.
Pythagoras did not eat meat.

Jesus Christ was crucified.
A mockery. A Defeat.

Money. Power. Arrogance.
The Empire of Liberty destroys.

It's comin' for you next
Better protect your girls and boys

George W. went to Yale
Trump went to U. Penn

The Ivy League in league with Hate
Again and again and again

Portland's Japanese Garden
Lovely afternoon

Powell's City of Books
Juliet in June

A bit of a lost soul feel
But hey! that's alright

This country is so lost
It worships fear and fright

Ah! Northwest is best
On to Seattle tonight

What the Americans believe in
Is racism, war, and money

Not freedom or democracy
But Steve Martin is quite funny

He majored in philosophy
As did I myself

His banjo speaks his soul
Roxanne still on my shelf

Portland now is in revolt
I wish the protest well

The Japanese Garden is heavenly
Trump's teargas is from Hell
