3 tragedies and a satyr play.

Man's helplessness in a meaningless universe.

- Samuel Beckett

Is my country overrun
By the Ignorant?
Indeed, it is.

Is my marriage a horror story?
Indeed, it is.

Do I have despair?
Indeed, I do.

But fatherhood too!

Every insight is terrifying
Depression is a *****
Reno sun and snow
One man he resist!

Just to do my best
All Walls Fall
Time tick tocks
River Eden, Wetheral

             She doesn't call.

Just ordinary daily life
I walk into the store
Sick and suffering

No one important
Drifting through the days
Gotta take a ****
The life a kind of Maze

No one important
Worry for my sons
Small victories
And the Day is Done

              sleep

Nirvana and Samsara are one
Quiet dailiness
Moroccan mint tea
Try to do my best

Errands in the morning
Afternoon rest
Suffering. Yearning.
Qualyxian Quest

                      Yes.

Fatherhood is gratitude
And worry all the time
Keep them, keep them close
Every mountain climb

                    Patience.

Something good to do
Before my time to die

          Aye! Aye! Aye!

I wonder what she thinks
Bipolar 101
Bored, mostly bored
Please give up your guns

Her feminine Mystique
Attracts me like the sun
I'm a board game geek
At Taipei 101

Said Tom Wolfe.

Try to keep him moving

We need a little light

Try to get it right

             Day by Day

Worry for my boys

The sadness will last forever
But what about the joy?
A little lamplight rain
Please protect my boys

The Republican Party is hideous
Ignorance. Racist hate.
