Of the reflective windows and minds:

From the window screen
Little Sj town appears glowing
The high glass windows of my hotel room
Reflects the hilltop
The lamposts outside, like fireflies  
Rains nostalgia
Of places and faces

it's like
we're strangers
who happen to know
each other
very well

SJW
George Hunt SJ
Better keep an eye on me
I could go all the way

Father Andrew Greeley
Truly one of a kind
In Tokyo the trains
In Bangkok Buddha mind

All philosophies fail
I too travel in dust
Love is memory
Love is an angel disguised as lust

                Please love us.

I was impressed by Daniel Berrigan
Wrote him to tell him so
He kindly wrote back
Said he thought I was on a good way

Mentioned Thich Nhat Hanh
Seattle
JVC
Poems

Daniel Berrigan burned draft cards
Like the one that came for my father
Went to jail for it
Took care of AIDS patients

My dad graduated from St. Louis University
Minored in philosophy
Career in the Air Force
Retired from the Pentagon

      Fr. Berrigan lingers on

He twice rejected my poems for publication
But then said God bless you for trying
Nicolus Cusanus
Truly, I was not lying

Lived twice in California
There I'm more North than South
Dr. Dee Ann Reeder
Sing me somethin' brave from your mouth

Arcade Junior High School
Coach Brian Katz
The world's greatest detective
The man who learns from Bats

The poems are not much
Probably all that I can do
Legends live on Franklin Street
Carolina blue
