Adrift in salt waves,
Closer to sea than to roots
Mountains keep still.
Let us pretend
That we were nothing
But some casual affair
2 AM ***** dystopia
Just another night
To forget

Let us pretend
That years of silence
Can somehow bend
White lies into
Truth

Let us pretend
For burying regrets
Seems all there's
Left to do
We should be pros by now...
Optimo, they say in Pahree,
of course, you knew,

fine is just fine for the unworldly.

For such as inhabit my spirit realm,
nothing but the best of days remain.

Madness, as a pastime,
suffices as artificial, made artwise,
too beautiful for any common sense…

ah, yet, on such a day, we may
agree we find time expands,
at a glance from those
makers
of perfect sense
from pastence, old lines
yes, optimo, fine lines
the best, in fact
oh,
some time ago, when all were mad as I.

While watching Hepburn
as the Mad Woman of Chaillot,
because, voila, I sought a forgotten line, from when,
as a boy of seventeen, I played Yul Brenner's role,
while then, my best friend,
some while dead, now,
had the role Danny Kaye plays
in the movie, I never watched
until today.

But, why,
of course, your curiosity is piqued, perhaps

the perfect point,
what we reexperience
is richer than just fine, it must be truly optimo
to meet criteria of old age mere satisfaction,

whereby we call all our ghosts
to laugh once more, exactly as before.

Of course with somewhat greater effect.
Assuming you know what I mean,
those Jungian types are quite alive… the greedy,

the payers of tribute
to Trump and his ilk selling
Israel fine American genocide tech.

the moon always looked beautiful
from here.
but now that i’ve stood on it,
i’m not sure
i ever wanted to.
Something I wrote a long time ago.
We realize our ephemerality when we face infirmity.
A question then arises:
Are you going to transcend your last moments so that you can live forever?

In too slumber I will drift.
Reaching places, far and wide.
Running free, drifting high.
Speaking words,yet untold.
As I drift further and further into slumber Land.

I looked out onto the open road
Saw my past present and future,
I Saw into my soul.
I have too much understanding to feel this jaded
I’m too young to feel this old.

I watch the eagles soar the sky,
The birds make me feel alive.
Time goes backwards, it’s alright,
I feel alone,
Every weekend night.
I keep to myself and mind my own,
Ive grown myself up, built my own home.

But I watch as time slips by,
And I feel myself getting harder.
I let myself feel better,
Piddling in my crafts alone,
just like my father.
Watching the sky under the trees,
Every cloud,
Floats right past me.

I dare to stop,
Jump out and just be.
To feel like a bird and have love
Around me.
Where the weekends don’t feel lonely,
And neither do I.
Where the sky finally feels free enough
To fly.
