Perplexing proclivities
Lonely in the day
Gunmetal gray the sky
Silent is the Way

High school is a blur
Dawn goes down to day
Basketball tonight
Watch the Wizards play

                xie xie

Reno to San Francisco
Fog upon the bridge
Basketball in Tahoe
Coaching for Sage Ridge

I'm kinda California
Sacramento child
Lovely Ms. Kathryn Orr
Curiosity running wild

San Francisco Zen Center
Teacher from Japan
Senyorita bonita
I wanna be your man

Tidal pools in Monterrey
My children still so young
That was a happy day hey hey!
Young sons sung

My sons keep me connected
For them I give much thanks
Please keep them protected
Guardians in the ranks

Quiet in the night
Silent is the Way
Gatsby's green light
Won ton soup xie xie

Rick Steves in Berlin
And in Toledo, Spain
Thomas means the Twin
Let fall the Purple Rain

              Bullet train!

........not much hope.......
drifting toward the end
            my sons!

Just one year in Chicago
But it's haunted me ever since
Two years in little Reno
I don't try to convince

Trump will go after the migrants
Dangerous escalation
Daoists in the mountains
Silent meditation

55 and still a bit shy
Grateful for my sons
I hope they get back some day
To Taipei 101

         Please give up your guns.

motorcycle taxis in the rain
         monks in sandals
                    traffic
                       me

I was led to 17 lines
She was just 17
I'm Carolina blue
But my Irish eyes are green

Once I was a teacher
Read books to the tweens
Now I'm just a dad
Still love Things Not Seen

Alone in the night
Miss my sons and brothers
Nearly 24 years later
Still miss my mother
