Try to do my best
Be a good dad
Took the London train
Sweet Sir Galahad

Gratitude for rest
Stay inside and sleep
Try again tomorrow
Promises to keep

Call my darling son
Talk a little while
Spend some time together
Wanna see you smile

Cool now in the air
Blanket on my bed
Who will remember me
After I am dead?

                 Unsaid.

A long time with religion
Maybe a mistake
Sweet Sir Galahad
Lady of the Lake

Boredinary days
Just a little work
Jon Stewart is funny
David Brooks a patronizing ****

Didn't do much today
Just a little sick
Embers by Sandor Marai
Melville's Moby ****

No life after death
Die and disappear
Please gentleness
Courage in the Fear

          Aqui. Here.

In London Turkish coffee
In Bangkok Buddhamind
I spend much time alone
I hope you treat me kind

In Orlando too

                And you?

I'm a John Denver fan

I'd like to see Susan
Sit and talk talk talk

Why write the poems?
Why, Judi, Why?

Involuntary memory
Flickers of Toledo
A little Hawaiian pizza
Vegetarian burritos

Thank you, Life, for my sons
Forward, please. Ahead.
Keep them, keep them steady
Long after I am dead

                      hope...

Rain the lamplight
Vienna all in snow
Fog on the Golden Gate
Reno is aglow

I like traveling
See the foreign places
Die and disappear
Leave a few traces

Japan's Golden Temple
Lost in Translation
Sadness seeping through
Silent meditation

Tolkien in my childhood
Fellowship of the Ring
Me in Orlando
I hear Dylan sing

                 Highwater!

Encounters with Chinese Hermits
Red Pine in the mountains
A little conversation
But silent is the Way

Taipei American School
My struggle with bipolar
The chaos of my life
Still I say xie xie

I like basketball
Shooting alone for hours
She gave me Hope for the Flowers
Dawn goes down to day

Please protection for Cam
55 and falling
Try to be a good dad
Mother Mary May ...
