Wanting to connect to the future
Long after I am dead
My sins were pornographic
But were my poems read?

24 hours in Korea
I like it yes I do
Scarred by Chicago
Scarred.

The Americans are far more lost than found
Bewildering diversity
Guns

Ordinary people do their jobs
Need money
Pay bills
U

Threats bear down
Darkness
Fear
Few

Mustard seeds
Singles to left
Memories

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

           Pondicherry Zoo
                   3772

Everything is disappointment
Everything is pain
She's a blue eyed beauty
Walks in Purple Rain

Solitude is freedom
And lonely, lonely blue
I try to do my best
I give my heart to you

                  3772

No desire for Fame
But a desire to be read
Seattle U. Library
Long after I am dead

In my solitude
Memories. Regrets.
Ridin' hard to catch that herd
He ain't caught 'em yet

American women are children
The house is still on Fire
Taipei, Taiwan typhoon
On up from the muck and mire

I like movie theaters
Basketball, women's hair
Marguerite Porete
Exoplanet glare

             Aliens. But where?

Everything is disappointment
Everything is pain
She's a blue eyed beauty
Walks in Purple Rain

Solitude is freedom
And lonely, lonely blue
I try to do my best
I give my heart to you

                  3772

I keep writing because I ...
Nothin' else to do
In my solitude
I still remember U

                 3772

Coincidence is interesting
I don't really understand
Names, numbers, words
All across this Lost Land

I'm gonna go down fighting
But today tonight I wait
Please protection for my boys
Un pequito peace for Cate

                  Dormir

Pretty desperate desire for influence at times
Reality is very little
In my solitude
Si Samut Prakan

Science fiction bookstore
Cycling by the Baltic
Tak tak tak
Tak Gamla Stan

Rainy Night in Georgia
In Savannah we drank tea
Adonis in Atlanta
Yea verily

Ben Shapiro spews hate
Another chance to meditate
Wait, wait. Wait wait wait.
David Markson levitates?

Leonardo's library
37 volumes

37 and 72
Catteleya and Lee-Tal

Rieko gave the Kyoto view
Trump esta muy mal

The bipolar gave me poetry
The bipolar ****** my life

I'm so often scared and tired
I hope for hidden things in Strife.

Scarred by Chicago
But 3 prayers
3 prayers
Wendy Wendy Whoa!

             Snow

It's possible to journey
Without hope
But still gratitude at times

All things decay
A slippery *****
But still we find some rhymes

I now eat
Vegetarian tacos
With the juice from limes

37 cents can be made
From 1 nickel, 2 pennies
And 3 dimes

37 degrees
Please baby please

I wanna be your man
Gently understand

My kind woos with words
Holler if you've heard

Can you hear me sing?
Cell phone ring a ling.

It don't mean a thing
If it ain't got that swing.

The little way is hidden power
Power in paradox
No man knows the hour
My name Todd means Fox

French couple in Dublin
I listen on the bus
Territory troublin'
Just the three of us

The Celtics played tonight
I like parquet floors
Moroccan mint tea
Dusky Spanish Moors

          37 floors

37000 words
yet not one step nearer

just enough to show
I battle though I’m a fearer

my sons are what I deeply know
of dearness growing dearer

as above, so below
will coincidences become clearer?

All the news is bad again
Kiss your dreams goodbye
Walk the beach at night
Charleston says I

Kathryn Orr was ****
California girl
Astrobiology
Dreams of other worlds

A ******* is a startling thing
All that **** in her mouth
One foot in California
One foot way down South

Fly from Sacramento
Land in Tokyo
All that Asian rain
No one on Earth will ever know

                37 minus 0

Basketball tonight with my son
             Airpods. Swings.
                  Thank you.

37 percent
Superstition just for fun

Still my favorite number
Truly She's the One!

Father Andrew Greeley
Prayed Thy will be done

My faith only in Silence
But I miss his smiling sun

37 per cent on my phone
I now home alone

children safe but far
Trappist 1 - distant star

analogies create
connections between distant dates

like the day Socrates died
and the election when Trump lied

but dialogues return
and demagogues get spurned

one world after all
beauty, books, basketball!

37 per cent on my phone
I hope a lucky number

There are benefits to being unknown
One day I'll go under

If time is like an ocean
And poetry like thunder

Give me true devotion
Lightning storms and wonder!

37 readers
Of my little poem

Yes, I loved Arrival
China they did show 'em

Don't do divination
But I've read Mr. Markson

6th in the 5th place
Ill right where the Dark's on

The Americans are racist
Though often they don't know it

But when they speak of others
Surely they do show it

Rain outside my window
Peaceful in the night

Blue eyes, dark hair and lovely
She's truly quite a sight

Courage unto the End
Even if things won't be alright


                  Goodnight.

Still the 37s
Superstitiousness is revvin'
Apophenia, right Kevin?

America the Land of Ignorance
America the Land of the Gun
Fly me to the moon
Or to Taipei 101

Northern more than Southern
Californ I A
German potato salad
Rewind, then press play

Something wrong with Chicago
1 week in Santa Fe
Vegetarian burritos
Dawn goes down to day

Eine Kleine Nachtmusik
Mozart Christmas Eve
Joseph Smith was a con man
One for Mike and Steve

                   Reno!

Hug from my son
My beautiful boy

A lot of great black music
In these United States
Some serious basketball
Preachers preachin' up a storm

Northern California is often cold
Northern Virginia boring
La Florida sunny and warm

I try to be less religious
When I'm hospitalized
Adjust my meds
I'm on my way

Her voice is gentle
Like my mom's
Solamente una Noche
Galway Girl

             37th of May!

37s throwing down
Buddhist monk comes to town

Silence in the neighborhood
Meditation is the should

Tyger Tyger burning bright
In the my Thai forest tonight

Beyond the fearful symmetry
Sunyata: let it be!

I have seen the Gorgon
She is definitely a woman
I like beauty brown
Very solitary

Dread Annihilation
Finding them gone

                    Joan!

just notice when it shows
don’t know what it means

like I notice when it snows
and when she wears the tight blue jeans

I like Emilio
and his father, Martin Sheen

Acocalypse even now?
haven’t you heard or seen?

Geronimo and his 37 warriors
Guerilla warfare
Arizona

America began in genocide and racehate
Probably how it ends
In my solitude
I remember forgotten friends

I have not been to India
But India came to me
37 years
1973

Shiva the god of death
Michael Clayton calls
In my solitude
All Walls Fall

Was philosophy a waste of time?
Maybe, but that's alright
Good Will Hunting
Sor Juana's mystic flight

              Endless Night

              Endless Night

Just poems, Just poems
Though i wish it could be more

Walk outside at night
Wind blows at my door

A million years pass like Flash
Like ice across the floor

Difficult for everyone
So difficult for the poor

The sadness will last forever
The paintings do explore

Green eyed torment, darling Vincent
37 years: Encore!

393 million guns
In these United States

They say they are the good guys
But they are the ones who hates

They took away guns in Australia
But still they have their mates

Might cruise the San Juan islands
No need to see Bill Gates

Violence so very American
Devolution devastates.

America the Abyss
393 million guns

      Collapse.

Dailiness. Ordinary. Sleep.

The warrior poet and the madman
Both take flght and attack

But only one can patiently wait
Then return and come on back

I am patiently waiting
I place my faith in words!

Sing in me, O Muse!
Susan, have you heard?

Poems can pierce like arrows
The arrogant Absurd

Even when the poet
Is at times a geeky nerd

One for Florida
One for Friendship
For your beauty - a thrilling third!

We walk out of the game
3 black women dancing
Big smile on her face
She bangs, she bumps, she grinds

Embassy row
Arabic letters
Memories of Japan
In Bangkok Buddhamind

I lie in bed all day
Hurt my back, call my son
Feel it bearing down
Stars come out and shine

I hope I travel again

Darling son of mine

              Gracias

Evil is a big part of life
Society becomes infected
Yo soy un protector
Who also needs to be protected

Desantis is hate at the Border
Migrants on the run
I'm Northbound 35

Rainy Night in Georgia
Following the Trail of Tears
Some clothes at JC Penney
Not a thing from Sears

South Side of Chicago
Milton's Lost Paradise
L.A. woman loves Prince
Ooo dat girl looked nice!

              Calvert House:
                      Thrice.

The intensity and the seriousness
Please, let me take it easy

The country is in danger
But the wind still is breezy

Rome, the Eternal City
San Francisco Bay

Quayzar in South Riding
The boys at rest and play

                 May!

Western Stars to astronauts
Eastern Stars to silent monks

In Bangkok I touched the tyger
My sons the elephants' trunks

Still remember that nightbeach kiss
30 years pass.  Who'da thunk?

Little poems like pennies in a fountain
Silence.  Her name.  Plunk!
