Lazy I guess.
A bit sleepy.
But I'm WIDE awake.
A bit disinterested in anything.
Maybe it's depression.
I've never been depressed.
Either that or I never haven't been depressed.
Either  way I just started writing poetry and it all goes away.
Until it doesn't
Backwards moves mountains......

I watch bad lip reading videos of movies I don’t want to see when I’m high in my 2nd bunk.
I then watch the movies straight from the chair.
And see if they're as funny.

This is not something I do lightly.
I take this seriously and do not judge.
Therefore, I tend to scuffle around and do nothing.

But at least I’m happy.

I don't need to be so sensitive.
I don't need to place blame.
I don't need a place anymore.
With that I don't have any shame.

But sometimes the enemy creeps on me.
I feel it under my skin.
The thing that I see that is bothering me.
Is what's inside of it.
Note to self - stop writing notes....

My mother wouldn't recognize me in a mug shot.

She would rather just recognize me.

Life is not fair.

I'm not young.

Was I ever?

My brain says always.

My body says NEVER.

My highly advanced intellect is dead weight.
I solved the world's problems of relationships by getting and staying single.
I solved the world’s problems by just letting it pass me by?
No I think too much me thinks......
Therefore, I am.....such as it is.

I want to be the wind.
Whipping silently to thee.
Never mentioning my name.
I want to set you free.

I lull you into lullabies.
Illusions that twist my mind.
You think you saw a real nice guy.
But don’t look twice, you’re blind.

It’s not really empathy if you have to do it.
It’s not really humble if you have to think about it.
It’s not really wise to not do these things.

I kid you adieu, you faint of heart.
It’s with great sadness, I leave us apart.
The end is near, I’m afraid my dear friend.
Perhaps if you’re unlucky, we will meet somewhere that rhymes with The end.

The girl that came in with the aqua blue eyes,
And took my heart without any lies,
A perpetual love that I have just for her,
She’s an uncorrupt one that has an innocent allure.

She has a father who is loving, and caring though straight
Right to your gut and I love him as a mate
And her mum is a flower that will never decay
The girl like I’m thinking of in every which way

I would like to know her better but she’s so much aloof
She pretends to know me but I am not a goof
All I know is that I love her even though she is three
My precious one granddaughter who's name is Kali.
Thursday, May 8, 2008 - She is my granddaughter and is a beautiful young woman now. Her eyes aren't aqua blue any more but I'll take what the world got. Fledgling poet though i still am and always have been.

This elusive thing is a problem,
It comes and goes every day.

The people can't stand prosperity
Neither can I so I pay.

The price of a Big Mac is rising.
My hope for the world dismayed.

I guess I'll go join the army.
And take all the the stuff I can take.

Living in the middle of a cornfield.

The place I thought
I never wanted to be
Is the place called home
Whatever.... it's just me.

Some are to be made fun of.
Some of them are to curse.
Some of them tickled me red.
Some stole from my purse.

I tell you it’s not pho-nee
It’s the holes in my head,
That reaches out to all thee.

So I can shout

A puppy licks my face.
I'm good.

A lizard licks my face.

An ant licks my face.
Ant's don't have tongues.
And they feel good on my skin.

IT's good to be alive?

What can I do with this feeble heart
My plans are true, then fall apart
The course is plain for all to see
Except that one, that one who’s me

I think I’m doing what I should do
Not thinking of how, or what, or who
For those who care about my turn
Instead of being a source of concern

Sometimes I think that I am right
To do what’s good in my minds sight
But those who are the ones I love
I sometimes think of me above

To look inside is such a gift
But seeing clear is better if
You use the glasses of other eyes
And see my warts that I despise

A love lost when, does it matter now
That I was wrong with tattered brow
I must affix a bandage to this man so ****
And make amends for my feeble heart.

It's less hard if you bite it when it's closed.
That way, no one will see the blood.
