I was in Italy once
Honeymoon in Rome
I was at Angkor Wat
Very far from home

My sons are sleeping right now
They have been to Milan
I have been to Stockholm
Scifi Gamla Stan

                      Carry on.

Said Giordano Bruno

If Joe is 56
And his girlfriend is 21
How much money does Joe have?

Birthday party today
Birthdays in July
Photographer as well
Small talk and a sigh

My son is turning 17
I worry - ain't no lie
Keep him forward motion
Try try try try try

                      Aye.

I'm a troubled soul
I hope I rest in peace
Majored in philosophy
Mind of Ancient Greece

California Coast
Tidal pools in Monterrey
My sons still so young!
More than words can say

                 xie xie

I like the rain in Seattle
Grey and green and blue
Me reading alone
Library at Seattle U.

Me reading alone
I seek but do not find
Kells in Seattle
In Bangkok Buddhamind

           Farewell and be kind.

Watch my sons grow older
Watch my sons with pride
Ireland was misty grey
Quaint was Malahide

I've seen the Asian rains
Buddhism inside
Rode the bullet trains
George W. Lied

         Cannot be denied.
