Waking from peaceful sleep
Writing again today
Mr Dirda, do go deep
The country is in danger
I pray the people to respond
Rise to vote, sir - Rise to vote, sir
O Ishmael, the Great Beyond!
One Whale

Might hibernate a decade
A decade, maybe more
If I sleep on the bed
Will you sleep on the floor?
The Raven says just one word
Only Nevermore
Will you still love me?
Will you still love me?
When I'm 64.

Someone must collect them
Silences unspoken
Who can resurrect them?
I lay in bed and lonely
No one comes to help
I drink English breakfast tea
Eat miso soup with kelp
I yelp.

6 and One
Chicago style pizza
Game time with my sons
Swimming out to meet ya
Though I'm the drowning one
All our consciousness
And yet, like ants, we die
Even though we can't
Still we have to try
To dream the Impossible Dream
And find a way to fly
Even if, like me,
You tend toward quiet and shy
Cambrian Cai!

6 questions
Painful, lonely, maybe meaningless
Join the club
3 coins in the fountain
Rub a dub dub dub dub
Will I get back to Rome?
Will I see again Seattle?
Will Susan live forever?
Will I fight a cosmic battle?
Am I just ridiculous?
Is there poetry in my prattle?

I wait on this Fall night
Are my fantasies delusions?
I think I may I might
Women are quite cruel
Neither Sein nor Zeit

Rainy Night in Georgia
Scioto, Ohio
I'll never be Royal
Might be Overthrow
Souls grow?

In 1972
I was only three years old

King Lear is the play
Cordelia's truth untold
Cordelia: silent. noble. bold.

So I'm back to 72
See it on license plates
Probably apophenia
Maybe Kabbalah
Books, movies, records
But I still can't find Her
Die unfulfilled
Can't be satisfied
Sky windy fade
Blueglowyellowyearnblack
Arakkis like Iraq
The Sky! Pi! The Maid!
I would like to kiss her
Tell her. Show her.
Hold her.
Get Heavenly Aid.
Portrayed.

72 books in the Catholic Bible
The sacred scripture reaching
72 disciples of Confucius
Who could understand his teaching
I've been to France and Ireland
Went to Mass one Dublin day
I woke up early, very early
For the Confucian temple in Taipei
Irish bars play my music
I'm sure they'll play yours too
I sometimes talk to the statue
Of Confucius at GMU
(I silently thank him too)

Is she choosin'?

Or maybe the psychiatrists
Fools and kings and sages
