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.
Qualyxian Quest Jun 2019
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!
Qualyxian Quest Sep 2020
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.
Qualyxian Quest Aug 2021
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
Qualyxian Quest Sep 2020
Palindromic gnomic.
Qualyxian Quest Sep 2021
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
Qualyxian Quest Oct 2021
Quiet.
Driving soon.
Sleep.
Qualyxian Quest Oct 2021
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

Things forbidden
Often become obsessions

Hence to her
My soul confessions

I need help
I have aggressions

Listening lonesome
Taking lessons

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.

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

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

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

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

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

This life makes no sense

Solitude for 1
Makes no difference

Roses bloom on Franklin Street
Tulips in Virginia

I walk alone, Twilight Zone

Can I stop?
Just watch my boys grow up

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.

Pythagoras, pray for us
Reno rendezvous

Tomorrow I'm back at it

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

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

Qualyxian Quest Aug 2021
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.
Qualyxian Quest Sep 2020
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?
Qualyxian Quest Aug 2019
sleeping late, white light room
      myths from dreams from lotus bloom?

Qualyxian Quest Aug 2020
On that day
God will wipe away all tears
Including Her own

Said Fr. Andrew Greeley
(of blessed memory)
Qualyxian Quest Apr 2021
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?
Qualyxian Quest Jul 2021
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?
Qualyxian Quest Feb 2023
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!
Qualyxian Quest Mar 2023
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
Qualyxian Quest Aug 2020
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.
Qualyxian Quest Feb 2020
ping pong with my youngest son
     back and forth little one

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

Lost in Translation
Snow Falling on Cedars

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

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?
Qualyxian Quest Jun 2023
Too tired to do too much
Movies more than books now
Sleeping
Soul sorrow

Crumbling Irish churches

Grateful for my dad
Mostly quiet
He's 10 years old!

Qualyxian Quest Dec 2020
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!
Qualyxian Quest Jul 2021
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
Qualyxian Quest Jan 2020
Inside: loneliness and pain
Outside: pitter patter rain
Qualyxian Quest Dec 2022
There are times when I'm reading
I sense in the silence
The Nothing, the Absence
Never to meet again

World of pain. World of illusion.
World of violence. World of confusion.

Still two green lights outside
Still remember Malahide
Still love the Princess Bride.
I tried, Father. I tried.
