When you want to go
time moves ever so slow
but when you don't want to go
time's like, Formula 1 and it
races along at breakneck speed.

I fancy
staying in bed
but
I know that I won't,

I also fancy,
but that's another story,

time for coffee.
You stand
one foot outside the door
expecting me to pull you back
by my heartstrings

but I am tired,
and no longer beat
in time to your

movements

so, go

and I shall burn
myself to ashes
to rise again

and your memory
shall be dust
Get it into your head,
it'll never last,
and that is what they said,

but so far, (touch wood), so good
and yet I always count my chickens when foxes are on the sly and
I'm told,
never count your chickens, and I have to wonder why.
Step forward instead of backwards
Lift up instead of put down
Help instead of hurt
Accept instead of rejection
Love instead of hate
Inspire instead of limit
Kindness instead of harshness
Integrity instead of corruption
Lightness instead of darkness
Calm instead of upset
Hope instead of despair
Laughter instead of tears
Creativity instead of bland
Dancing instead of sitting
Tolerance instead of none
Positivity instead of negativity
Possible instead of impossible
Walk with the light
Avoid darkness
Believe
Light up the world

Step forward
Leonard Cohen saw the Future
Maybe I did too
Little prayer for Taipei
Carolina blue

Vegetarian tacos tonight
Edamame for my son
Rieko held him newborn
At Taipei 101

Sometimes profane the sacred
Sometimes revere and cherish
I do pray to the statues
But do not attend the parish

My ordinary life
Boring, but gratitude
My joy in my three sons
In my solitude

                     3!
Resting teddies under sheets
Blankets tucked in tight
Bunny rabbit counts his sheep
That leap, to sleep, at night
Little teddy smiles in bed
Big teddy wears a frown
They lie awake, with different takes
While bunnies safe and sound….   asleep
Darling clever Oscar Wilde
that Enfant terrible
a rebellious child
he was pretty
and very witty
and yes he was gay
it's a shame we couldn't accept him that way
