A secular life
    transient
       hope!

Asia in my life
From the time that I was small
My troubled half Thai wife
I still love basketball

A little Chinese food
Korean hot *** once in a while
Arigato, Rieko
You have a lovely smile

Asia has the rains
And the bullet trains
For Taipei 101
Go the extra mile

California has the sunlight
And the San Francisco grey
If she were here tomorrow
Don't know what I'd say

Frederick, Maryland
Ordinary days
Call my sons, a little fun
Silent is the Way

                       Ole!

Un Escritor
Forgotten Lore
Inner Harbor, Baltimore

                   Or?

All these anxiety dreams
I wake up running scared
Archbishop Oscar Romero
He is one who dared

La Florida has the sun
Rain in the afternoon
Maybe Dune tonight
In our kitchen Flaming June

Chicken enchiladas
Tacos y burritos
Postcards in the mail
To the University of Toledo

I'll die and be forgotten
I hope my children will remember
Kiss her twice for me
In the bleak December

                         Ole!

I can't get hold of life
Always slips away
Disappointment and pain
Dawn goes down to day

I sleep late again
San Francisco Bay
I miss Mark, my friend
Can't find words to my say

Gonna stay inside
Snowfall is the Way
Kamakura Buddha
No nay never nay

Didn't do too well in Chicago
            In my solitude
                Drifting
