~
The ballpark is on fire

And there's a man

In a hospital gown

Directing traffic
~

Knowledge of the future
memories of the past
Caught within a final vacuum
dissipating fast

Wanton disbelieving
eyes are liars still
Perception changed then rearranged
sensation thrice distilled

The philosophy of physics
logicians burn and melt
Time but smirks as gravity flirts
judgment prior dealt

Memories of the future
knowledge of the past
Once you slow the ebb and flow
— the moment is recast

(Dreamsleep: August, 2024)

The sand swallowed your footsteps
Your voice carried away in the wind
The world grown different since you've gone
But I'll never forget you my friend

I may move on and I may grow
And you will stay the same
But I'll never loose your mark on me
No matter how the seasons change

I found the sunshine
In a boy who glows within
Too bad I'm a storm

~
A mouth to feed
A lawn to mow
I don't feel young anymore
If children were wishes
If their smiles, the family glue
Aureate light would reflect
From the ceiling of my heart
If children were wishes
What would become of you and me?
