The election looms, is dangerous
American Despair
Tuesday, November 5th
Highwater Everywhere

Wait. I wait patiently.
My sons callooh! callay!
Wake and sleep. Sleep and wake.
Silent is the Way.

Gonna see Conclave
See it with my son
Plato and Aristotle
Philosophy 101

Persistent proclivities
Lonely all alone
Hope for the Flowers
Rolling Stone

Movies and music
Travelin' man
Als Ick Kan
The best that I can

Sleep late and long
Drivin' around
Rattle and Hum
When Love Comes to Town

Reno! Reno!
Big blue open sky
Billowing smoke
Why, Judi, Why?

Drive to the coast
San Francisco to die
Moroccan mint tea
I Thai Wai

              Fly!

no one important
write from the times
memories return
cranberry lime

sunlit Stockholm
cycling the sea
Carolina Inn
my baby and me

Hope for the Flowers
silent despair
walk home all alone
County Fair! County Fair!

55 and falling
Grateful for sons
Dear Dublin. Dear Dublin.
Rattle and Hum

no one important
dead in the end
young sons sung
silence pretend

fond of little Reno
shunyata snow
kindness. compassion
o we o we o!

If you want to see
How a music video
Can take us to another level

After you read this little poem
Websurf over to YouTube
And watch Springsteen's
Night with the Jersey Devil.

Waiting in the airport
Baltimore at night
Such sorrow in my soul!
Sor Juana's mystic flight

Tired. Dailiness.
I yearn for foreign shores
Als Ick Kan

                     Yours,
