Father Greeley loved the movies
Truly, so do I

Alex, like me, loves basketball
Oh, how they fly!

Dr. Thomas, he loved Mozart
Prodigious Austrian guy

She does not love me
Precisely why I cry

The world does not come from Love
Not the predatory terror

But the moonlight shines above
I hope my life is not an error

                  Future? Fairer.

Awake in the night again
Palindromic time

Stanley Yelnats and Zero
Cranberry juice with lime

Thinking, can't stop thinking
Will I see again Chicago?

Springsteen with Othello
Harold Bloom with Iago

I'm with Dr. Cohen
He taught me Julius Caesar

I'd like to be a just man
That is how to please her.

Thunder rollin' in
     Sadness too
             her

now she appears as 50
but I knew her at 15

thought of her in windstorm
in the Emerald Isle green

dark hark, lovely face, blue eyes
you shoulda heard just what I seen

passion burns long and gentle
ah! her thighs my sighs between!

Perhaps just apophenia
All these 37s

I do not know a Xenia
Don't know if there's a heaven

I do know Pythagoras
His mystic numerology

What is transmigration
When 7 follows 3?

37 on license plates
            driving
              alone

Death will be Release
Torment finally gone
I hope to sleep in peace
Temple of the Dawn

I read a lot of books
Rode a lot of trains
Once taught with Mike Zook
Never Been to Spain

Music a companion
The guns gotta go
Seattle all alone
Softfall cedar snow

Misery of my marriage
3 beautiful boys
No horse or carriage
She's got the *** toys

Would that she would hold me
Let me cry and cry
Delusions y Confusions
Exoplanet Sky

Extrasolar Water
Pink champagne on ice
South Side of Chicago
Ooo dat girl looked nice

Tired, trepidation
Not a lotta money
Maybe Stranger Than Fiction
Will Ferrell very funny

We are the language animal
I go ramblin' round
Lonely as the rain
Off like a prom gown

Hope amidst despair
In the mud the lotus flower
The Daughters indeed will come
No man knows the hour

                 Reno!

Only fear can defeat life.
Do not be defeated.

Once more into the breach, dear friends
Courage re-repeated

My suffering is finite
Like my life, it too will end

I sense the endless silence
Is the silence my true friend?

Dr. William Thomas
Me at JMU

Softer than the rain
Susan's eyes are midnight blue
Her voice gentle on my pain
Do you parlez vous?

                    Adieux.

37 keeps appearing in my life
Probably don't mean a thing
But it gets my attention
Lost my wedding ring

Will I die in sleep?
Alone?
In pain?
Roman thing

I can't do it without making mistakes
One prayer for professors
2 for the Vietnamese

Slowly, anxious, slowly
Walk the cemetery
A goddess on her knees

Chicago deep dish pizza
Mr. Incredible, Mr. Freeze
Batman building building

            Batman. Pretty please.

                 (times like these)

Nebraska is the 37th state
It's capital now is Lincoln

I have never been there
But 37 has me thinkin'

37 is also
The 5th lucky prime

Lincoln is on the 5 dollar bill
FDR is on the dime

I keep seeing 37
Surely it's only chance
Honeymoon in Italy
Honeymoon in France

Mesmerized by Istabul
Tokyo in snow
Risperdol injection
On and on we go

I had to write the poems
The poems come from pain

Please pray for my wife
I'm near La Mancha, Spain

The sadness will last forever
37 years

La Florida my past
La Florida, my dears

Sunt lacrimae rerum
Tears, idle tears

37 percent
Birthday night

Is it mystery
Or is it fright?

Any hope
For things to work out right?

Meister Eckhart
Mystic flight

Cam Cam I am
My true delight

If you tell me
There is no mystical mystery
In this world of suffering and sin

I will say:
You might be right.
But then I see clues again.

                  
             The game is afoot.    
                Shall we begin?

    how much time remains

still remember Satellite
    with lonely lifelong pain

so hard to accept
     that all our love's in vain

the Man of La Mancha
     and La Mancha means "the stain"

no purity, no real security
     we ride that downbound train

kindness to our hider riders
     ain't gonna pass this way again

I admit, long term reader,
I wonder what, if anything,
Is gonna get through

I want the Impossible
The Different. The Unknown.
The Unknowable Who

I love movies
I watch mostly at home now
Reno Rendezvous

In my solitude
In her seeking
In her eyes of blue

          Chicago. Bangkok. Seattle U.

                         37372

when America is no more
the sinking sun has set

what will the future remember?
and what will they forget?

the foreign wars and violence
will be seen as horror story

not freedom, not democracy
not George W. or the Donald in glory

the racism and greed
will also be cast down

no future folk will wish
to renew that in their town

the lack of decency
or respect for others

will also go the way
which cannot be recovered

so what then will they recall
these people of 3739?

maybe Small is Beautiful
And Seattle is so fine!

American politics is chaos and despair
But my American life is quiet
European cities are more beautiful
Thailand: you should fly it.

Fatherhood is quiet joy
My beloved boys do grow
Seattle grey and green
Reno silver snow

Her hair was long and brown
My eyes are glasses green
Death is the mother of beauty, he said
Ah! When she was 17

I saw her standing there
Saw her dancing too
When I die, please Thai Wai
Then I'll die right into you
