The rain reminds me of Dublin
Dublin and Monterrey
Misty Chinese mountains
Silent is the Way

San Francisco, California
Sky all foggy grey
If I were to see her
Don't know what I'd say

Just another broken heart
Dawn goes down to day
Exoplanets spin
Mother Mary May

                  hey hey

Rain again today
Grey day blues pour down
Memories of Ireland
When Love Comes to Town

Memories of California
My boys along the coast
Aging, relentlessly aging
A kind of holy ghost

The past just flies by
55 and alone
See my sons soon
Call on my cell phone

Florida has the flowers
New York City nights
Childhood in Ohio
My Mr. Spock kite

           Well, alright!

A lifelong love of movies
Also a love of books
My oldest now is 18
He drives, He works, He cooks

Embers and City of Ember
Star Trek. Galaxy Quest.
Some good thing to do
Before I take my rest

                        Yes.

All these little poems
My little life in rhyme
I tend toward earnestness
I hope you treat me kind

I'm no one important
Seattle summer is sublime
Spinning exoplanets
In Bangkok Buddhamind

                    Find.

I was in Japan for 2 weeks
Continually amazed
Tokyo to Kyoto
Arigato, Rieko. Much thanks.

I like miso soup
Cucumber sushi rolls
Teriyaki salmon
No need to send in the tanks

                      transience

Hard Zen
Just sitting. Just sitting.
Thanks to Coach Katz
Timothy and the Cay

Silent nights
San Francisco
Una hora
Californ I A

If time is like an ocean
All moments come and go
Now we seek the shoreline
Now we go below

At the surface shines the sunlight
Where flying fish do leap
While on the volcanic seafloor
Lurk creatures of the Deep

We meet memories in tidal moonlight
With them we swim until the day
But the Cambrian Explosion
Who can truly say?
