I don't have a hometown
Or maybe I have many

Walk the streeets looking down
Find my lucky penny

I am waiting for my money
Once again to drive

Solitude of travel
Solitude. Alive.

             I5

Back to the religious horror
Predation and nature's terror

But today I saw two butterflies
Does God perchance make errors?

Van Gogh said our world is a study
A study that didn't come off

I am quite taken with American Cosmic
Ms. Pasulka writes quite well for a Prof

Love is patient and kind
1 Corinthians 13

****** love is too
I wish I could show her what I mean

last need I dreamed of the Trappists
that I became a monk

here I am all alone
who would think or thunk?

don't own a car now
no manuscript in my trunk

still love basketball
but I could never dunk

       just hoopin'

O Life!
Please protect my Q
See him through

See him through

Sings 3 Dog Night

Mark in California
My small little room
        loneliness

The anguish of my relationships with women
The oceanic despair in which I'm swimmin'

Isolation is both price and protection
Is shunyata emptiness resurrection?

Basketball tonight
Michigan vs. UCLA

I eat my veggie burger
I watch the game hey hey!

Moon in mist above
Yellow light xie xie

Dragon temple in Taiwan
Episcopal church today

Celtic Cross. Daoist Way.

Truly Q
Yes you do
Wisdom too

Florence Duomo
pink and green
          Italy

Sybil in my childhood
Something vast in Columbus
Actually Walnut Heights
I stop playing and stay still

Neo and the Oracle
She says Know Thyself
Cute but not too bright
My prayer is Thy will ...

Sybil in my childhood
Her smile big and warm
Courage in the storm
Springsteen in the heat

Prayers for Clarence Clemons
Chesapeake, Virginia
Music still within ya
Victory from defeat

        Mist. Snow. Sleet.

basketball in the evening light
      memories for when things aren't right
               I fall, I rise, I fall, I fight …


                                 my delight

Dmitri Karamazov
I too like poetry

I once saw White Nights
And then she saw me

I had an awesome dream
I shared it with her too

Dear one dear in Dublin
Silence seeping through

                     2

Good things come to those who wait
But not to those who wait too late
Mistake, mistake, I hesitate
Prayers for Susan. Prayers for Cate.

                     Perpetuate....

Not too well with women
With women not too well
Lonely as the rain
Thomas D. Witherell

Tryin' to hang on
Days filled with pain
Summer of 69
Then Purple Rain

             Karaoke ....

Basketball tonight
Last night too

Solitary flight
But I think of you

I drift toward death
I sense the longterm view

When I disappear
Tell her I told true

             Who?

Awake in the night
  Comfort please
         Comfort

American politics is mostly Absurd
You don't have to move to France
She and I Florida sky
Twice the Homecoming Dance

Everything disappears
Years fly by like planes
Early 1980s
Jane! Jane! Jane!

My mother was a reader
Me at Seattle U.
I pray to the Madonna and Child
Help me to be true

                Not much
        Just the best I can do
              
                     65432

He used the word gift
And I have read The Giver

Don't want a transition to sameness
I want the River

Jonas can see Beyond
At times I can too

Like seeing the passing lanes
Here comes one for you

When you get it
Shoot it through

                                    2!

Georgetown grey stone
      my mom's death
               alone

The Monolith as movie screen.
And cell phone.

George W. Lies
Americans consent
       the Abyss

So I have a thing with 37
Know not what it means
Also 72
Also in betweens

Jonas can See Beyond
Sometimes so can I
So can Richard Parker
So can salmon fly

Taipei American School
Mississippi Bridge
1 is the loneliest number
Ravioli in the fridge

Gratitude and fear
Anxiety and her
She whispers in my ear
But there is no cure

           boundaries blur

basketball as meditation
       empty hoop, elevation
               swish, swish, swish ...


                Mason Nation!

Cold Mountain - no through trail
         Hong Kong - will truth prevail?
                  Taipei, Taiwan - my travel tale...

                                  wonton on
                                  second son

Leaving San Francisco Bay
Heading for Hong Kong harbor
See an old friend, good for the soul

New Year shines from the water
Fireworks above, gentle waves below
Mutation my salvation and goal

Time to leave the past behind:

                               Dropping off
                                                 body
                                                        and
                                                              mind

Vertiginous. Hitchcockian. Shamanistic.
                       Mystic.

The man who lives on dreams
Has nothing there at all

The man who lives on fear
Builds a Border Wall

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
Very, very tall

The Irish bar in Charlotte
Maggie's Farm ya'll

For skeptics synchronicity
Is mere Chance
The law of very large numbers

For others
It's like Irish dance
And sympathic Polish plumbers

For me, I'm not sure
It happens
But what does it mean?

I certainly am not pure
But I do
Like the wearin'  o' the Green

And some Stranger Things
I indeed have seen.

              (starting in summer
                            2015.             )

It's true I saw this comin'
But I'm not a prophet

Just someone who remembers
When the lost ones have forgot it

I'd like to live in Dublin
Or shall I say Taipei?

I'd like to live in peace
But that's not the American way

Stockholm again? Maybe someday!

America as a ******* country
        money up their ***
             Trumpfucked

madness is rare in individuals
yet in epochs and groups it is the rule

the future will find American insanity
when they teach our current time in school

Alas, across a lot of the American scene
               Karma now Queen
          Can you see what I mean?
                             2019

The President of ignorance, fear, lying
       decency destroyed and dying
             many no longer trying ...

                        mystifying.

against the American Absurd
   the wish to write the word
          truly Trumpfucked

Oh the isolation
Awake at 2 a.m.

Keep on thinking of her
Loneliness again

Time is an ocean
This time is time my friend?

Because the Night
Magic spell to send

     Let's pretend!

Highwater almost Everywhere
A country that doesn't even care
            American Despair.

Wounded by time and sin and Fate
Barbarians in the White House
Not just at the Gate


I hope and pray it's not too late.

again soft morning light
           mellow yellow white
                    high hopes they will write...


                       gentlemen

The chaos, the utter chaos
Of contemporary America

                Collapse

Seasons come, Seasons go
the world just turns and turns
goodness also sometimes shows ...


             Time to feel the Bern!

basketball and bookstores and beaches
realities remaining out of reaches
I silently study; she silently teaches ...

                            AX

MUFON in my email - again seen
  Infinity at BP - her hair green
             hints and guesses


          but what does it mean?

They say dying is actually difficult
Life clings and clings

30 plus years later
No phone call rings

Vegetarian tacos
Not much bling

Lonely as a cloud
Pegasus has wings
