Tired. So often tired.
Worry for my son
Life is suffering
Suffering begun

Just do not feel well
Sleep, blessed sleep
Tired. Exoplanets.
Promises to keep

3 days in Vienna
         snow
     happiness

So I made it to 55
Sick, unwell
But grateful to be alive

If I have a purpose
It's to take care of my sons
One born in Taiwan
Near Taipei 101

One born in Fairfax
One in Santa Rosa
Gratitude, Gratitude
          
              Hope.

Death obsessed
Sick and suffering
Tired
Often unwell

Lonely
Broke
Telephonely
Ishmael

I do not feel well
Wanna sleep for 1000 years
Just ill at ease
Anxieties and fears

I'm in trouble when my dad dies
Truly on my own
Pain in my mind
Alone with the Alone

My son is in the movie
Watching with his friends
If my life is cinematic
Wonder how it ends?

The diabetes hurts
Joint pain in my shoulder
Joys are hard to find
As I slowly grow older

Fatherhood is gratitude
Please keep him going strong
All the way, All the way
Even if I'm late along

Not very well socially
I didn't quite fit in
Sometimes I'd like to get back
Try and try again

But I know I can't
I'm sick, sick within
Dr. William Thomas
Thomas means the Twin

                    Go Dukes!

Still see 37
Still see 72
Picasso's Guernica
Rothko green and blue

I know it's meaningless
You know it too
But before the Dreadful end
Some good thing to do

                    'tis true

I hope I don't die in pain
Maybe sweetly sleep
Maybe Moorish Spain
Company to keep

The powerful play goes on
Just to do my best
Mr. Robin Williams
In peace may you rest.

Sick and suffering, Suffering and sick
Death is gonna be scary
Make it quick! Make it quick!
Got my statue of Mother Mary
Might reread Moby ****

                     Ishmael!

So often sick. Not at ease.
Please, baby. Baby, please.
Wishing for door destinies.

                   Patience.

It's people in Taipei
It's Bangkok in the rain
Noodle soup xie xie

I like monasteries
But I couldn't stay
Wisdom and Compassion
Lay Lady Lay

I have religious obsessions
Have had them most of my life
Chicago. Seattle. Vienna.
Wisdom in the strife

I have a Buddha statue
It's a dark olive green
Chicago, yes Chicago
I reread Things Not Seen

      my favorite book for tweens

I actually like many professors
Wish I could have been one myself
A tragedy, Ms. Pascal

Sick and suffering
Lonely, lonely nights
Little black cell phone
Why do I still write?

The Episcopal churches are quaint
Sunlit summer day

Can't find words to pray

Live to write another day

Take two Advil for my shoulder
Nothing for my heart
I like Dash Incredible
Not Napoleon Blown Apart

Wish I was a shaman
Protection for my people
But I'm just bipolar
Steer clear of the steeple

Mr. Michael Clayton
My honeymoon in France
Mr. Arthur Edens
Lord Shiva does his dance

                Just chance.

Have I had an impact?
I'll never ever know
Life is suffering
Lovely Vienna snow

My shoulder hurts and hurts
On and on we go
One man come he to justify
One man to Overthrow!

                   Yo espero.

Often sick
Ill at ease
Even in the day

Young sons sung
Destinies
Shiloh come and play

Chicago nights
Advanced degrees
Later to Taipei

Perpetual the pain
Courage, please. Endurance.
22 South Main

I took two years of Latin
But I wasn't very good
Rome on my honeymoon
And in my neighborhood

Wish I wasn't so sad
Wish I wish I could
To sleep perchance to dream
Just like Fire would

Sick and suffering, they said
Sick and suffering is true
Green and gold Mason Nation
Carolina blue

If I die at night
If I die in you
I wish I may I might
Finally be flew

              'tis true

At times a bit crazy
Often deeply sad
Am I late along?

With religious obsessions
Tendency to confession
Pain in my mind

Ethan Hawke today
Flannery O'Connor
What we seek
We find?

I might be grateful to die
Put me out of my misery
Life is pain, Highness
I'm sick. I suffer through.

                 Y Tu?

I keep on writing
Don't know why
A kind of play
Exoplanets sky

Some good thing
Before I die
Some good thing
Something Thai

        Aye! Aye! Aye!

Hey batter, batter!

I try to cultivate gratitude
To counteract despair

Got my mind on you

Calm, please calm.
Take it easy, Take it slow

Sleep, blessed sleep
Tired of my life
I wish but wish in vain

A little hope. Exoplanets.

All that ice and snow

I love him, love him dear
And I tell him so
A gazillion fulsome fears
On and on y yo ...

Woke up early this morning
My shoulder hurts from the shot
2 prayers for Ry
2 prayers for Scott

I'm tired. Exoplanets.
Rain came down came rain
If I die at night
Take the Downbound Train

Keep him right on track

But I'm Carolina blue
