Our politics is hideous
Let the Music Play!

I am a Markson Man
Not much. Not much.
Do the best I can

Lonely as the rain

Sledding in the snow
My boys still so young
Hidey hidey hidey **!

Am I late along?

Encounters with Chinese Hermits
I just pass the time
All these little poems
My lonely life in rhyme

Solitude is best for me
But far better a true blue friend
The wish at times for destiny
Courage at the end

I'm drawn to silences
But at times I like to talk
People passing by
Take a little walk

I don't read Thomas Aquinas
I do say xie xie ni
One summer in Stockholm
Beauty Baltic Sea

Cheese and a little French bread
Nap in the afternoon
Talk to my son again
He was reading Dune

My lonely life is boring
Will I die alone?
Charlotte, North Carolina
I threw a Rolling Stone

I wrote the letter at Mason
How could I possibly know?

To sleep perchance to dream
Listen to Rabbi Nahman
Hear his silent scream

Ride the Shinkansen
Tidal pools in Monterrey

Yes, I like to post
Halloween is coming
And the Holy Ghost
