Once I was a teacher
Once I strolled in schools

Once I could actually reach her
(King Lear is actually the fool)

Humid Bangkok night
Silent drops upon the pool

Now for political fight
Stubborn as a mule

Yellow moon to white
Alone again tonight

Yesterday: arriving in Ayutthaya
Tomorrow: bustling Bangkok
But today - Today, I touch the Tyger!

Tired. Sad. Alone.
No answer to my cell phone.
Father from afar.

Follow that star.

Milton was of the Devil's party, but he didn't know it.

Tom Petty is quite right
The waiting is the hardest part

I try and try to be patient
Try to create some beauty art

I have a plan for Christmas
3 little poems

The priest is a bit suspicious
So I'm gonna have to show him

Hopkins, Chesterton, and me
Please wish me wish

But the steamboat went to ...
