I don't read so much anymore
Wanna be a writer
Un Escritor
Leave my words behind

                     Find?

I've never been to Spain
Nor to Mexico
But I know a little Spanish
My parents from Toledo

I had a Spanish teacher
Mr. Suarez. Fernando
I hope he's doing well
Hidey hidey hidey **!

Like a diary
a little rhyme

   remembrance

Tired, all alone
Call my sleeping sons
Timeless Taiwan typhoons
Taipei 101

Just a few poems
When the Day is Done
3 street tacos
Un pequito fun

              Monterrey!

Green Arrow
      Seattle
     Catholic

I have a weakness for *******
Of which I am not proud
Dylan goes electric
Play it ******' loud!

Women are the sickness
Women are the cure
I cannot resist
The feminine allure

Snow is coming soon
Stay inside and sleep
55 and falling
Promises to keep

                  Ole!

I like writing the poems
Unburden my mind
Seek and seek, Ms. Meek
I hope you treat me kind

Snow is coming soon
In Bangkok Buddha find
55 and falling
Running out of time

                    I'm ....

Worry for my son
Worry all around
Fragile ordinary
Please not lost but found

Hope for the future
Slowly day by day
My darling darling one
My son: callooh! callay!
  
                hey hey

Decay, decline, despair
But then rediscovery
Music in the morning
Such is destiny.

Good music on the radio
Ray Charles, James Brown
Sam Cooke
When Love Comes to Town

I'm an amateur poet
Not a man of much renown
Off
Off like a prom gown

I write a few poems
Dream of destiny
Tryin' to make sense
Tryin' to break free

Long ago Toledo, Ohio
3333
Irish eyes are smiling
In Dublin meant to be

                   Si.

..............Dylan............
       buried so deep
Tahoe, Orlando, Berkeley

We see the Dylan movie
We drive in a bit of snow
Ordinary living
And I love him so

I drive him home in silence
Take it easy. Take it slow
Ordinary living
Yoko yo yo yo yo!

Pick up my son today
             shopping
                  snow

According to Friedrich Nietzsche

Ms. Meek! Ms. Meek!
I'm a board game geek
I'd like to kiss you
8 days a week
My Castle's high
My table's teak
It's true, It's you
The one I seek!

Tidal pools in Monterrey
     my boys so young
              el futuro

No one important
I'll die unknown
But remembered by my family

                        Por favor

Got the anxiety again
Wish it would leave me be
Rest, grateful rest
3333
                      We

Ms. Meek. Sigh. Geek.

good to talk to him
      another day
            sleep

Rick Steves in Vienna
Berlin and Dublin too
Me on Franklin Street
Carolina blue

I'm romanced by the Middle Ages
Meister Eckhart view
European history
Ever ancient, Ever new

The bells that still can ring
London in the mist
Als Ick Kan
One man he resist!

Ordinary life
Eating, drinking, sleep
Kamakura snow
Promises to keep

Love is patient and kind
But human beings are not
3 prayers for Ry
7 hopes for Scott

2025, politics portends
Have to muddle through
Cannot see the end

                     por favor!

Danger. Trouble. Patience.

I drive him home tonight
    Rainy New Year's Eve
          Trembling hope

There's no ultimate salvation
Just dailiness
Maybe a kind word or phrase
The little way at night

                Gatsby's green light

Fatherhood is gratitude
And worry, so much worry
The desire to protect
Kamakura snow

Cashew chicken for dinner
Thai iced tea
Thailand quietly
On and on we go

                         So ....

Ireland was misty grey
A little like San Francisco
I haven't read Finnegans Wake
But I do like the song

Mason was teacher training
Nice people
Quiet library
Mr. Harry Wong

Protection for my middle son
Slowly
Patience
To belong

                            Amen.

Sunlit Italy
Only there for one week

I'd like to fly away
Fly away with Susan Meek
Train game at the table
The table made of teak

Desafortunadamente
My favorite Spanish word
Springsteen's Hitch Hikin'
Wonder if she heard?

            yo soy un theonerd

Dark sky rain
Wind upon my face
Exoplanets spin
Aliens in space?

My family in Venice
Then on to Rome
Me in Cambodia
Very far from home

Religion is not true
But it does persist
One man caught on a barbed wire fence
One man he resist!

Dark sky rain
Wind upon my face
Gonna die and disappear
Vanish with a trace

                       Chase.

Worry for my family
Trouble on all sides
Slowly dailiness
The best that we can do

Stockholm was quite pretty
Cycling by the Baltic Sea
Please not Fate but Destiny
The little way y tea

                         Si.

I'm not a saint
I like some of them
I sometimes wish I was one
But I'm not.

Prayers for my brother Scott.

Escape from reality
Not possible, but I try
Troubled daily life
Not her kinda guy

Springsteen in Oakland
Dylan in DC
Stockholm for a summer
Dublin meant to be

                     Oui.

Guadalupe green
Things Not Seen
     Ben Vereen

Could one get through?
         green and blue
                    72

Got my blood taken
Hope my numbers good
Rome on my honeymoon
And in my neighborhood

Gonna drive my son to work
Last day of the year
Keep him close to me
Courage in the fear

                  Aqui. Here.

Chicago in the winter
All that ice and snow

Vegetarian burritos
Seattle in the misty rain
Baltimore in snow

Remember bullet trains

Lovely Susan Meek
Kamakura snow
Seattle's Ichiro

The world's a kind of madhouse
So much anger, so much strife

Gentle snowfall
Kamakura Buddha
