According to Father Tracy
God is Love before He exists
Love like lemonade
The Pope like pretzel twists

I think I'm gonna call her
But I don't know when
Cool Grey City of Love
San Francisco Zen

                 10

I love 10,000 Maniacs
I'm a maniac myself

The Night I hear a-calling
Moby **** upon my shelf

Center for teaching and learning
Will Ferrell played the Elf

Christmas not only December
Money not only wealth

                 Letters.

Wilt Chamberlain told ******* magazine
That he estimated he had *** with
20,000 women over his lifetime.
(He preferred threesomes)

The interviewer from *******
Was in awe of his ****** prowess.

But he then added:

I'm here to tell you fellas
I would have rather had ***
With 1 woman 1000 times
Than with 1000 women 1 time.

It’s not brilliant
but it’s mine

I too seek
divine design

Asbury Park
friendly find

She’s the One
in my mind.

                             Hey, hey, hey
                              Cristo Rey!

In this world, shipmates,
God is a failure
'Buked, rejected, scorned

If 1000 years pass
Still She is not mourned

But a day yet may come
Starshine in Her eyes

They will have the Lies
But She will have Surprise.

Sleep away the guilt
Sleep away the pain
Lay in bed and lonely
Try not to go insane

Grey day sky is sadness
Cuts against the grain
Books at times bring gladness
Bangkok in my brain

               Yesterday's Rain

Palindromic gnomic.

Quiet.
Driving soon.
Sleep.

I have wished for recognition
Feared it just as much
More than recognition
I'd like her human touch

About to get a car
Travel plans return
I might go to Istanbul
Upon a Grecian urn

Or maybe San Francisco
Drink myself some tea
Not a coincidence
Man said meant to be

See my sons again
Quietly my three
Years keep rolling by
Solitarily

They say to let the dead go
But of course I can't
To me she was my mother
To them she was their aunt

This life of ours is meaningless
But at least we have fruit punch
The students at my school
100 percent free lunch

I might be a case study
But they'll never really know
Twilight blue and turning
Seattle cedarsnow

        Hidden in  Zero

Women are more interesting
They really truly are
The shapeliness, the flowing hair
The voice, the falling star

Solitude is peaceful
No arguments. No fights.
But also no perfume
No kisses. No candlelight.

Parenthood is wonderful
Thursday I see my sons
Video games and basketball
Before the Day is Done

          Philosophy 101

Unde Malum?
Yo no se. And I never will.

Don't like David Brooks.
Don't like George F. Will.

Did like Taipei 101
Still do like it still

If she calls and says, Please come
You know I surely will.

Things forbidden
Often become obsessions

Hence to her
My soul confessions

I need help
I have aggressions

Listening lonesome
Taking lessons

Am I just gonna fade away
Slow like the setting sun?

Or is there something to do
To do Thy will be done?

Carolina blue
Basketball is fun

Ever ancient, Ever new
I wait. I watch. 101.

The little way is greatness
Attention, quiet, waiting
Kairotic moment comes
Songs in the night

The little way is hidden
Overlooked and scorned
Khaohsiung in the kindness
But ready for the fight

                 101.
                light

swimming with my sons
            Taipei, Taiwan quite fun
                         yesterday now done...

                    xie xie 101

American commandos in Taiwan
Preparing for the fight
Hope it does not happen
But democracy just might

Transform ancient China
I watch the Buddha light
Ordinary people
Confucian the insight

                   101!

Dry lightning in the distance
             Uber home
                  Alone

The Absurd at 10:13
This life makes no sense

Solitude for 1
Makes no difference

Roses bloom on Franklin Street
Tulips in Virginia

I walk alone, Twilight Zone
The music is within ya

Ravens in Winter
Owls in starlight
        flight

A little bit more
Can I stop?
Just watch my boys grow up

52
Probably 2/3 done
I miss that Quayzar pup

Quietness
Traveling
Phone calls yearning night

Shunyata
Seattle snow
Chicago may just might

           Taipei true twilight

the doomed human race
we vanish without a trace

            shunyata

Post office in my little town
I take it as a sign
Ms. Dee Ann Reeder
I wait. Yes, I wait.

Legolas
The fighting knives
Oxford. Inklings.
I do not hesitate

He said he's 37
We might play some ball
I drive in Mary's land
Destiny, not fate

Facebook has been fun
Surely She's the one
Three young sons y
Wendy. Susan. Cate.

         not too late

10:37
Temperature 72
Pythagoras, pray for us
Reno rendezvous

Tomorrow I'm back at it
In la oficina
Loneliness I guess
Can you see what I meana?

Siena, Italy
Beautiful cathedral
Seattle twilight sky
All lit up Space Needle

My life does not matter
But it matters to live to me
Keep her from the Abyss
Protection for my 3

                    Merci

Shadows on the wall
         Stillness
            10:37

10:37
To see my sons
My only heaven

American buy and sell
To me like hell

Tonight no real friends
Please O life!
Courage to the end.

10:37
Melancholy

Good Golly
Ms. Molly!

Laying long in bed
Regretting my mistakes
A series of unfortunate events
Lady of the Lakes

No desire for Chicago
Desire for Vienna
Wish for Istanbul
Remembering Siena

English breakfast tea
Scrambled eggs and toast
Vegetarian sausage
She's the One I love the most

A bit of a boomer joke
So says my middle son
Afraid of annihilation
Courage when it comes

           Midnight Sun

10:37 a.m.
No great plans

Reading about angels
Star Trek is the Man!

I wish for other worlds
But live my boring story

No grandiosity
No greatness. No glory.

But maybe, just maybe
A small and subtle gift

Yes, she heard my words
Will time prove to lift?

sleeping late, white light room
      myths from dreams from lotus bloom?
                   incense, intense her perfume ...


                                 who looms?

Pattern Recognition.

Pythagoras believed in transmigration
It seems unlikely, doesn't it?

Science removes many mysteries
But others then appear

I have some number obsessions
I like math

Into the Spiderverse
By the basketball court: quiet gentle deer.

On that day
God will wipe away all tears
Including Her own

Said Fr. Andrew Greeley
(of blessed memory)

The dreams are like mind humming
Pleasure they do give

The weaknees makes me worry
Can life and time forgive?

Endurance without women
1 the loneliest number

Art is a vocation
Florida full for thunder

When will I go under?

Awake, it's 1:05
Can't sleep so I write

Buddhamind in Bangkok
Vegetarian delight

Raindrops on the pool
Rainfall in the night

I wonder as I wander
Am I Asian more than white?

The right wingers are all racists
The fear of the Other
In my solitude
Hopes and fears for my brothers

I was in Helsinki once
White Cathedral, purple sky
The Boxer in Charleston
Walking Lai la Lai!

Not a lot of hope at times
Fatherhood is joy
Women from my past
Memories? Nitnoy.

Try to do my best
Worried for my nation
Prayers for Taiwan
Bipolar elevation

          The Eagle!

I listen to the Eagle
106.9
I remember 80s ladies
At times I seek a sign

We are still married
Despite despite despite
Politics portends
Last lone American Night

Early 1990s
I read at Seattle U.
Finally told her the truth
In 2022

I might die alone
I might die in pain
I fly from Toledo, Ohio
Land in in Toledo, Spain

              Purple Rain

If you haven't experienced terror
You probably haven't truly lived

If you have never sinned boldly
You probably haven't forgived

I'm tired and I'm lonely
The night is dark and vast

Like an ocean in the sky
Sirens screaming past

All men desire to know
Some men practice Zen

Wish I didn't know now
What I didn't know then

I miss my basketball days!
When I wore the number 10.

ping pong with my youngest son
     back and forth little one
              despite despair

           you make life fun!

I was in Japan
For 10 or 11 days
Tokyo to Kyoto
Dressed up like a Samurai

Lost in Translation
Snow Falling on Cedars
Rieko and Takahiro
Shiva's third eye

I like miso soup
Snowfall shunyata
Edamame for my sons
Salmon teriyaki for I

Tokyo to Bangkok
Motorcycle taxis
Som tam. Panang curry.
I Thai Wai

                 Ry.

I still seek the Unseen
but, of course, I can't see it

I once read of the Beguines
but, of course, I can't be it

life is a horror story
but also dear with wild hope

so much is just endurance
waking, sleeping cope

what is it that I want?
where can we elope?

Too tired to do too much
Movies more than books now
Sleeping
Soul sorrow

Crumbling Irish churches
Restaurants closing
Politics portends
Baltimore tomorrow

Grateful for my dad
Mostly quiet
He's 10 years old!
xie xie, O Life, xie xie

             Daoist Way

His shirt is John 1:1
In the beginning was the Word
Logos
But to me it's all Greek

The Eternal Feminine draws us on
She sings
Sings
When She cannot speak

Thailand
Temple of the Dawn
Arapahoe, Seminole, Navajo
Comanche, Apache, Creek

                Coincidence!

The silence is eternal
I hear it as I moan

Honeymoon in Paris
Honeymoon in Rome

Marital despair
I now on my own

The silence is eternal
God is the Unknown

The mystery of the other person
The tragedy of life

The snow and sleet and rain
The society of strife

I like to sleep in peace
In the morning I will call

Another night, another day
All for one and one for all!
