Chinese dumplings today
Gracias xie xie
Silent is the Way
A gazillion exoplanets

Can't find words to pray
No nay never nay
Mother Mary May
A gazillion exoplanets!

I've been to Canada a few times
Vancouver. Toronto. Montreal.
Took a bus from London
River Eden, Wetheral

1 week in sunlit Italy
1 week in lovely France
Mr. Shiva gives me injections
Lord Shiva does his dance

I rest in the daytime now
Call my growing sons
My oldest plays Magic the Gathering
Un pequito fun

I won't ever see her again
But I wish her well
Kabobs for lunch yesterday
Call me Ishmael.

Movies have been companions
Stranger Than Fiction, Dune, Arrival
I still love Roxanne
Quietly survival

These poems are a diary
My little life in rhyme
2 tacos a la carte
Cranberry juice with lime

Feeling fully 55
How much longer to go?
California sunlight
Seattle in the snow

Honeymoon in Paris
Then the bus to Rome
Motorcycle taxis in Thailand
Very far from home

                Sanuk Di!

The Space Coast
         sunlight
             rain

Mental illness y religion
               Anxiety
                  hope!

City of Ember
  Awakening
        light

London Christmas Eve
      Turkish Coffee
               Mozart
