American politics is madness
See how they run
All alone tonight
Please give up your guns

1 is the loneliest number
To sleep, to sleep in peace

More than Ancient Greece

Thank you, Dr. Frenkel
You were by far the best
Thank you for your caring
I need at times to rest

I like to visit Europe
Ride the speeding trains
Eat delicious food
Sing Purple Rain

Keep my boys going
Slowly. Day by day.
Thank you, Dr. Frenkel
Gracias xie xie

No distinguished career
Tired. Exoplanets.
Whisper in your ear

Kinda geeky shy
Ain't her kinda guy
Falling, but I try
To fight back all the fear

I write because I ...

The silence is eternal

Sadness seeping through
Emptiness. Compassion.

                     Absurd!

The medicine seems to help
Keeps back the terror
I've made many mistakes
But I pray I'm not an error

Please no more panic attacks
A night of fearless sleep
Waken, gently waken
Promises to keep

The bipolar is my burden
I try to bear it well
Take my medication
Call me Ishmael

See my son tomorrow
Only time will tell
See my son tomorrow!
We are the Witherells.

Before my time to die
Some good thing to do

Will I die in pain?
Kiss her once for me
On the bullet train

Seattle rain, Reno snow
No one on Earth
Will ever know
