David Markson in New York City
Que selah selah
In London the women are pretty
In Tunisia they praise Allah

My long love of basketball
My chaotic family life
Romeo and Juliet
Baby, Cuts Like a Knife

Just read a bit now
Still love Things Not Seen
Dr. Thomas was quite caring
Billy Graham was mean

I love Rock n' Roll
Springsteen in Chapel Hill
Her dancing and the whisper
O! What a thrill

                   Memories!

There is no perfection
There's barely even goodness
Trouble in my mind
Take it easy, Take it slow

Libraries are quiet
Movies in the night
To sleep perchance to dream
Kamakura snow

She's one stress mess
Please keep the boys on track
3 prayers for Iraq
Yoko yo yo yo yo!

A little Robert Frost
A little Emily
Edgar Allen Poet
Mother Mary Let It Be

A lot of little poems
My lonely little life
Sleeping in the snowfall
Wisdom in the strife

In but not of America
Resisting at my best
Falling at my worst
Do I pass the test?

                Guess.

Long talk with my son
             Midnight
                xie xie

All that Bangkok rain
All that Seattle snow
All these little poems
And I'll never know

3 beautiful sons
Gracias xie xie
Silence in the Night
Silent is the Way

In Taipei noodle soup
In Taipei Din Tai Fung
My boys still so little
Young sons sung

I'll die and be forgotten
If you read me carry on
Hope for the Flowers
Rome. Paris. Gamla Stan.

                     Amen

I miss her in the morning
Lonely cool before dawn
I miss her in the evening
3 deer and 1 fawn

I liked being a teacher
I like getting new books
My oldest son is 18
He drives, he works, he cooks

Kamakura snow
Suffering is caused by desire
He's gonna be an astronaut
Try to take us higher

                George W. Liar

I like Rick Steves
European travelin' man
I've been to Paris
And I've been to Japan

American red states:
Dumbfuckistan.
Ozymandias
All that sifting sand ...
