I've got unresolved anger issues
*******! to this world
No way for lasting happiness
Without the woman girl

Northern California
Southeast Asia too
Mr. Leonard Cohen
Buddhist Catholic Jew

Vegetarian burritos
Hummus, pita bread
Sharp, internal pain
Alas, the Nameless Dread

Good things for Judi

I have you in mind, attentive reader,
As I try to tell a life
Take the ball and score
Left handed off the glass

I have been to New York
Man of La Mancha
Central Park picnic
Barefoot in the grass

Theroux not Thoreau
Old Patagonia Express
Jorge Luis Borges
I no longer go to Mass

The beauty of her ***


               Patience...

California snow
Florida thunder rain
Inner Harbor, Baltimore
I ride the Downbound Train

Dublin was the post office
And the Book of Kells
I was in Poland once
Tolkien loved the elves

Taipei American School
Delicious won ton soup
I frequently breakdown
Let us now regroup

Paul Theroux's travel books
The Writer's Almanac
Nixon destroyed Cambodia
George W. destroyed Iraq

             That's a fact, Jack.

The struggle of daily life
Depression out of the blue
Resting on the couch
Nothing much to do

All the King's Men
There is a blackness to truth
Tucson, Arizona
Friendship of late youth

Traffic in Northern Virginia
Robinson middle school
Truly noble Cordelia
Harold Bloom a fool

Quiet Toledo, Ohio
Christmas every year
Lotus flower in the mud
Courage in the fear

             children dear

Silent desperation
Is the way I pray
Snow Falling on Cedars
Ishmael, xie xie

I like Korean food
Vegetarian burritos
City at Night! City at Night!
My mom buried in Toledo

Time is the Cross
All that wood and glass
Meditation hall
This it came to pass

                   Asia!
