..............shy..............
not her kinda guy
  why, Judi, why?

Kinda geeky shy
55 and falling
Took the train from London
River Eden, Wetheraling

Saw my sons this morning
Doin' alright, gratefully
Day by night by day
Slowly - xie xie ni

                      Si.

Ordinary living
Nothing too exciting
Drive my Camry car
See my sleeping sons

Disability
Phone calls in the night
Tired. Exoplanets!
Taipei 101

Extrasolar water
Maybe cosmic oceans
Astrobiology
Un pequito fun

           Day is Done

ambivalent about religion
             conflicted
                falling

Worry for my son
Pride in my son
          Hope!

Allowed Leo X

Thailand was humid
The traffic was intense
Motorcycle taxis
Street food very cheap

            beep beep

lamplight rain
in my solitude
      falling

the bells that still can ring
    movies, books, music
                  slowly

I like Pope Francis
His kindness to the poor
Rainy Night in Georgia
And the Inner Harbor, Baltimore

I'm lonely as the rain
Carolina blue
Before my time to die
Some good thing to do

2049
Travel for my boys
Concerts in London
Make a joyful noise

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

                   Wendy!

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

                 Eliade!

Just an amateur
Try to do my best
Sleep till noon
Qualyxian Quest

Take care of my boys
See them through
Irish eyes
Carolina blue

          Be true.

Woke up from a bad dream
Went to take a ****
I no longer teach
******* times like this

Lay in bed and lonely
Softly falls the rain
Tokyo to Kyoto
On the bullet train

Little Reno, Nevada
Little Sage Ridge School
Mr. David Markson
Harold Bloom was a fool

Tacos again today
Sleep perchance to dream
I miss my departed mother
And my basketball team

                 Silent Scream.

Plurality and Ambiguity
               Chicago
                    Yo

The Princess Bride
       Verdi Cries
         Roxanne

Ohio childhood
        Toledo
        xie xie

According to Friedrich Nietzsche

No one important
Mostly all alone
A few little poems
Little black cell phone

Grateful for my sons
Honeymoon in Rome
Temples at Angkor Wat
Very far from home

1987
3710
4044
8000, si muy bien.

                 And then?

San Francisco in the fog
Zen Center quiet
Tidal pools in Monterrey
Un pequito fun at the beach

Lovely Ms. Kathryn Orr
Sacramento childhood
Mark, Mike, and Steve
Coach Katz did teach

                 I reach.

Struggle with myself
Even at 55
Protection for my boys
Grateful to be alive

Struggle with myself
Carolina blue
No woman, No Cry
3772

                  And you.

We are lonesome animals
We try to communicate
We sit in San Francisco
At the Dragon Gate

We dream of destiny
Destiny not Fate
Exoplanet sky
Something radiates

              Right, mate?

Books, music, movies
            Learning
             Gracias

train station
  Charlotte
  shunyata

inhuman desire
  distant Asia
    final kiss

I am not a saint
Include me with sinners
Struggle with myself
Dawn goes down to day

In my solitude
Snowfall shunyata
Gatsby's green light
Silent is the Way

.........Florida........
          Noah
The green flash

City of Ember
Lina and Doon
       Egress

A teenager in the 80s
Now I'm 55
Try to take care of my sons
In the time I'm still alive

Spend days with my middle one
Teach him how to drive
Slowly moving ahead
Find the time to thrive

                      Ole!

The bells that still can ring
Struggle with myself
Gandalf the White
Legolas the Elf

Movies, books, music
Sunshine arrives today
Alone in the Chungnan Mountains
Silent is the Way

                   xie xie

Highwater Everywhere
Trump 2.0
I stay inside and sleep
And I love her so

Carolina blue
Seattle cedarsnow
Take the London train
River Eden flow

                    Yo espero.

Fo Guang Shan
     little nun
          one

Hummus and pita
Moroccan mint tea
               Si

There is no God
And Mary is His mother.

Leonard Cohen in London
I have been there too
He sings Tower of Song
He too has been blue

Buddhist meditation
Silent in L.A.
But I am San Francisco
Silent is the Way

                xie xie

Kyoto train station
   Empty temple
           Rieko!

She says I'm an interesting soul
That gets my attention
Kyoto to Tokyo
New York City night

Tacos for lunch today
Soda lemonade
Salsa on my chips
Sor Juana's mystic flight

Quiet desperation
Lonely as the rain
In my solitude
Abgescheidenheit

Depression
Soul sorrow
       Low

Long term view
       Patience
           Wait

.......Finnegan's Wake......
The Belle of Belfast City
            Thank you.

Fog on the bridge
        Mint tea
              Si

not much
sadness
    sigh

Dr. Thomas so kind to me
Gentleman of the South
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Something brave from your mouth

Camus at JMU
Me only 19
Life is indeed Absurd
Can you see what I mean?

              Rothko blue and green

Don't know if I'll travel again
Don't have much money
Donald Trump is a racist
Steve Martin is funny

I write because I ...
Sunlight shining through
I write because I ...
Carolina blue

                     Y Tu?
