Today I write one for Dr. Thomas
Kind, caring, funny
Student of Karl Barth
Lover of Wolfgang Amadeus

Mentor to me
Now dead and gone
The professor's life
Books, movies, music

I remember you, my teacher
Thank you for your kindness
Rest in peace
Go Dukes!

Thai food for lunch
Painful isolation
Som tam, panang curry
Miss my medication

I have been to Bangkok
Traffic speeding by
3 dear deer
I Thai Wai

              One for Ry!

I'm never gonna see my mom again
There is no life after death
But still she lives in me
Quiet, gentle breath

I miss her every day
For more than 23 years
All my hopeless dreams
All my fulsome fears

           Tears, idle tears

I'm gonna reread Moby ****
And All the King's Men
Embers by Sandor Marai
San Francisco Zen

Encounters with Chinese Hermits
But I don't know when
Maybe 2024
Maybe 3710

                    Muy bien.

A little ****** at times
A little Rock n Roll
Susan Darlene Meek
Midnight's broken toll

Up late watching movies
Psychology is pain
Sacramento, California
Jane! Jane! Jane!

The Buddha sits in silence
I sit silent too
Bruce Springsteen song
Souped up 72

I hope I die in sleep
I thank Life for my sons
Serious as a heart attack
Pero un pequito fun

              She's the One!

So I'm against the Republican party
It's racist at its center
Time tick tocks
All men enter

I watch the Elvis movie
I lay in bed and wonder
Viva Las Vegas!
A little rolling thunder

No real hope
Falling at 54
I walk in the rain
Inner Harbor, Baltimore

                Si senyor.

The United States is a bad joke
The spectacle of Donald Trump
Cheerleader tramps are the best kind
Born to run and jump

Tired. Exoplanets.
Ordinary days
No need for pity
No need for praise

Tidal pools in Monterrey
Lake Tahoe snow
Movies with my son
On and on we go

Mr. David Markson
Once in Mexico
This is Not a Novel
E I E I O

             Yo Romeo!
