Am I a Catholic Buddhist atheist?
Or an atheist Buddhist Catholic?
Not really sure
It doesn't really matter

Tyranny rises in America
An essentially racist nation
Post cards in the mail
One Dark Knight

                Gatsby's green light

                             Flight!

Depression yet again
             Slowly
              Sleep

My desperate wish for meaning
           And significance
               my illusions

                     Sigh...

I am very afraid of dying
Please courage at the end
The silence is eternal
Please silence be my friend

                     Amen.

......... Fr. Greeley .........
yellow dog Democrat
             Chicago

Black smoke, big blue sky
                just sitting
                   looking

My insignificance.
My sincerity.

                hope
