I barely scrape on by
I am a troubled soul
1 foot in philosophy
1 in Rock n' Roll

I like Michael Clayton
Star Trek and True Grit
American Decline
Trump is full of ****

A lot of little poems
Does she love me? No.
Kamakura Buddha
Kamakura snow

                   So...

I'm kinda ridiculous
I'm aware I play the fool
William Shakespeare in Staunton
And at Sage Ridge School

Fondly, fondly Reno
Open big blue sky
Rodeo, O rodeo!
Paul Simon: Lai la Lai!

Dr. Thomas was quite funny
I miss him decades later
Snowfall shunyata
Lonely in the night

Embers
City of Ember
All the King's Men
Gatsby's sweet green light

                     Alright!

Not a leader, Not a follower
Do my best. A little sleep.

             fatherhood!

Rick Steves in Berlin
And in Munich too
Me in little Reno
Susan Meek not Sue

Chinese food tonight
Weather going cold
Star Trek and Joan of Arc
Both of them go bold

True Grit on Facebook
I like Mattie Ross
Aging. Relentlessly aging.
Decay, decline, and loss

              Endurance.

France on my honeymoon
Notre Dame reborn
In my solitude
Lonely and forlorn

French cheese and bread
A little creme brulee
The Grand Chartreuse in snow
Walk the silent Way

               I want you to Stay!

So I know a little Spanish
But I've never been to Spain
I know two pretty women
Give them Purple Rain

The hope is in the living
Please protect my sons
Fondly little Reno
Please give up your guns

                    Ole!
