I wish, but wish in vain
          Purple Rain
     La Mancha, Spain

Sound and fury and chaos
I just lay in bed
3:45 a.m.
Blue State not red

Something good for Q
Courage in the Dread
Carolina blue
Angels fear to tread

               Onward!

Misty rain Seattle
California sun
3 days in Vienna
Taipei 101

Some good thing to do
Before my day is done
Something Thai, something true
Plus un pequito fun

                      Nitnoy

America began in genocide
Slave labor all around
Call me Ishmael
Foreign where I'm found

Misty rain Seattle
Singing at night at Kells
In Dublin meant to be
We are the Witherells

                   Escape!

Snowfall shunyata
Kamakura Buddha
      just sitting

Every insight is terrifying
Everyone lives and dies alone
University of Chicago
I threw a Rolling Stone

Jerusalem to Vienna
Honeymoon in Rome
Temples at Angkor Wat
Very far from home

                   Ole!

Give a soul a night of fearless sleep
                    Dreaming
                       Mom!

Woke up from a scary dream
I just lay in bed
Protection for my sons
After I am dead

Plus a little fun
Her hand upon my head
2037
Wonder where we're led?

My family in Vienna
Let them play in peace
Modern Istanbul
More than Ancient Greece

I drift, I drift toward death
Snowfall shunyata
Desperately Seeking Susan
Madonna's Kabbalah

                      Ah!

Mortality
   Sadness
      Silence

I'm not too fond of the professors
Or rather, I'm ambivalent
A toast to the teachers!
Money well spent

I've seen a few museums
Walked alone in Seattle snow
56 now. Tired.
How much more to go?


               I don't know.

not a great country
not a great people
not a great army
not a great steeple

quiet music
loved ones dear
day by dailiness
fight back fear

       aqui. here.

I like the little poems
Slowly. Day by day.
Exoplanets spin
Nothing gold can stay

O the isolation!
Mother Mary May
O the isolation!
Silent is the Way

I sleep more as I age
Despair falling down
A few months in Ireland
When Love Comes to Town

The sadness will last forever

Dinner with my middle son
We watch some basketball
Took a train from London
River Eden, Wetheral

I'd like to escape the USA
But I have very little money
Ben Shapiro is a racist
Steve Martin is funny

Basketball since I was young
Forward for my son
A night of fearless sleep
