My oldest son is sleeping
Let him sleep in peace
In gratitude for fatherhood
Better than Ancient Greece

But I still like Heraclitus
Everything is Fire
Still like Pythagoras
Still troubled by desire

Carolina Inn
Susan Darlene Meek
O for just one night!
I seek I seek I seek ...

I miss Reno sometimes
Little Sage Ridge School
Black smoke in the sky
Sledding in the snow

Taught Julius Caesar
The Old Man and the Sea
Coached basketball
So ....

                    Yo!

There is no life after death
We disappear forever
Sacramento Mark
Sacramento Heather

Corpse to the fire
Ashes to the sea
Snowfall on the ocean
Shunyatally

Protection for my son
Protection quietly
Ordinary days
Si. Xie xie ni ...

55 and falling
Lady of the Lake
Chicago in the winter
Andrew Greeley. William Blake.

Vegetarian burritos
Lonely, silent nights
Misty Dublin rain
Two green lights

Please protection for my son
Get him back in school
Cordelia is truly noble
King Lear is a fool

Politics Portends
Please not Trump again
I sense the eternal silence
Silence be my friend

                    Amen.

European history
Asian bullet trains
Me alone in Vienna
Rick Steves in Spain

I'd like a different country
But I don't know where
Small Town, America
County fair! County fair!

Indian buffet
Vegetarian burritos
Slowly guacamole
University of Toledo

Spinning exoplanets
Extrasolar water
3 prayers for my sons
3 hopes for her daughters

                      Ole!

The Americans are idiots
Just talk to the Trump voters
Demagoguery
Decay, decline, despair

              Highwater Everywhere

The world is a kind of madhouse
I stay inside and rest
See my dad tomorrow
Qualyxian the Quest

Twice I was in London
Took the Oxford train
Gerard Manley Hopkins
Ireland again

Vegetarian tacos
Jarritos Mexican soda
The saga begins
Yo yo yo yo Yoda!
