Qualyxian Quest May 2024
Eventually it all comes out
The good, the bad, the ugly
I play a little basketball
Movies on tv

Boredinary blues
No one important
Die and be forgotten
Woe is me. Woe is me.

I like taco trucks
Vegetarian burritos
Cousins in Toledo
Please protect my 3

If I die at night
When the darkness comes
Corpse to the fire
Ashes to the sea

              Yea verily.
Qualyxian Quest May 2024
Troubling proclivities
Band on the run
Maybe baby baseball
Gonna see my son

Diabetes might **** me
Probably not the bipolar
Vegetarian burritos
Slowly growing older

Chicago in the snow
California sun
O so serious
But a little fun

Theologies all broken
Huey Lewis and the News
My comfy green couch
A good place to snooze

                tick tock ...

I like the misty fog
Like the gentle rain
When I was in London
I took the northbound train

If I die alone
Kisses for my sons
Nirvana means extinction
Taipei 101

Basketball is comfort
Sting and the Police
Heraclitus, Thales
Form in Ancient Greece

Sleep feels very good
I watch some DVDs
Hotel California
Please, baby, please

               Wait for it ...

Coincidence again today
Curious. Leopold.
I don't understand
As I grow old, grow old

3 prayers for Chicago
Lady of the Lake
1 poem by Shelley
1 by William Blake

Gonna call my son
Gonna clean my place
Astronauts in Florida
Aliens in space?
Qualyxian Quest May 2024
My children growing older
This summer one's 18
I'm Carolina blue
But my Irish eyes are green

I'd like to leave the United States
But I don't have any money
George Clooney makes good movies
Will Ferrell is funny

Not who I am, she said
Or who I ever was
I keep writing poetry
I keep writing because ...

Pretty good on race
Pretty bad on ***
Only one life
There is no heavenly next

                   Ex!
Qualyxian Quest May 2024
4 days running
Try to get to 5
No one important
But happy to be alive

I like movies
Lost in Translation
Stranger Than Fiction
My Mason education

There is no heaven
Except to be remembered with love
Anxiety within
Exoplanets above

Gratitude for my sons
Much time alone
When I die, Life of Pi
Eternally Unknown

Amateur means one who loves
That's what I wish to be
Me in Toledo, Ohio
1973

Rain in the lamplight
Snow along the street
Buddhamind in Bangkok
And in everyone I meet

Stamps, amps, tramps
1984
2 gentlemen of Verona
1 ******* in Elsinore

Exit 222
Shakespeare in the sun
Won ton soup
Taipei 101

            un pequito fun
