Anomalous Cognition
Is what the professor calls it

Don't think quite like others
Especially when the president Walls it

Tyler D. thinks it's aliens
That give him his ideas

The professor discusses creativity
Altered states from fears

He has biotechnology
And he works for NASA

Houston, we have a problem
Time to go to Mass, huh?

I think Dr. Cohen noticed me
Though I cannot know for sure

I listened to his Caesar talk
Then I listened as well to her

Brutus is not noble
Mark Antony takes him to school

Friends, Romans, Countrymen
Our President is a fool

And our country has grown cruel.
6 fingered man: It's time to duel!

Short ride
To Malahide

Quaint and charming
Waterside

Like a painting
Pretty pride

Back to Dublin
Didn't died

No talent for happiness
I hear you, Mr. Beckett

But once I was teenage boy
Before life did wreck it

And once I held her in my arms
Touched her long brown hair

Danced with our friends
But now it's flame and air

Now it's flame and air.

I keep on writing
Keep on writing
Not much else to do

Powerlessness overwhelms
Sadness. Madness too.

Trump a revelation.
The country is quite *******.

Hope is out there waiting
But hope is to elude

The Ignorance
Across this land
Hello.  What's up, dude?

Yes, I love to travel
But now to stay local

Dialogue of life
With my neighbors oval vocal

Franklin Street philosophy
Walking, talking, eating

Chapel of the Cross
Deer are not retreating

Students come to campus
Basketball at night

Waiting for my moment
Trying to get it right

Like Rufus Wainwright

The power struggle is built into Nature
Drive to dominate

You can see it in all politics
You can feel it when you mate

But Nature holds her secrets
Some are not yet known

You have to approach her quietly
Put away your cell phone

She might drop her dress
But only when Home Alone
