From inspiration to fruition
if ideas are to be believed

So if is with without me
and the spirits are about me
I will make the grade.


There's no one in mind
when I cast back and find
shadows in the album
they all pass.

I have taken up position
fourth from the right,
it is the human condition
and I am obstinate if not
so definite
sometimes.

I am master or mistress to
misery unless I am slave
to these wanton desires,
where ideas would take me
and make of me
a garnish or
side dish.

I focus less on the
hocus pocus that thread
through these patterns of
being
and more on the patterns
themselves.

Moving slightly I see that
she waits and she should not
be kept so,
so I go
at least mostly but mentally
I'm never certain.
