Marjorie Taylor Greene
Psychofuck crazy and mean
55 and still 13
May she fall and then careen

                    Ameen.

Marjorie Taylor Greene is racist
Like so much of the American South
Rainy Night in Georgia
Somethin' brave from your mouth

Tomorrow to see my son
Baseball, movies, yes
When I die, Life of Pi
Anybody's guess

Gratitude for my boy
Gratitude from the heart
I like Dash Incredible
Not Napoleon Blown Apart

                Tomorrow!

So far from women
So far from God
So far from hope
Yo soy solo Todd

It's just dailiness
Memories. Memories.
A little Coke Zero
Please, baby, please

Florida is ignorance
And Carl Hiaasen books
Even the teacher got no idea
Just how mean she looks

Short drive to the cemetery
All over in a flash
Break my Rusty Cage
Long live Johnny Cash!

Cristobal Colon-izer
Slavery and genocide
The coming of the Night
Nowhere to run. Nowhere to hide.

Tecumseh on the Battlefield
Tecumseh get your gun
For on the field tomorrow morn
You'll meet with Harrison.

                 Meet with Harrison.

I'm a very troubled soul
Alone most of the time
Try to find words for you
Words that ramble and rhyme

Will I get back to California?
See Seattle snow?
Powell's City of Books
Rendezvous Reno?

My sons are joy to me
My life does not make sense
3772
Curious coincidence

        Let us rise and go hence.

Watching Dune again
Life among the stars
Still in search of love
This love that we call ours

Trump will probably win
The American Abyss
Mass deportations
******* times like this

Tucson, Arizona
Is Alex still my friend?
Mr. Kevin Blazona
Sacramento mend

There's no long term hope
But there is short term love
Silence in the Night
Exoplanets up above

                   Water!

Long term game
Step by slowly step
Rainy day blues
Postcards in the mail

Not really conversation
Message in a bottle
Tzimtzum in the evening
Loves my, loves my trail

                  Wait for it ...

I have wrestled with the Shadow
Often it has won
Gratitude for life
And my 3 young sons

I like movies and music
I listen to the rain
Just got a book
About Barcelona, Spain

My dad helps me clean
Keeps me organized
A little Irish green
I win no poetry prize

Up in the night
Lady of the Lake
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Mr. William Blake

          every cake you bake ...

I lay in bed and lonely
Listen for the rain
I write telephonely
Alone once again

Tired. Exoplanets.
Sleep away the day
Music on the radio
For my love to play

Might take a bath
Might sleep till noon
Memories in my mind
Of the Taipei typhoon

           y Flaming June

The meditation hall all wood and glass
Nothing as beautiful as her ***
Thunderstorm - thus it comes to pass
We play out in the rain

California on my mind
What we seek, do we find?
Relentless is the daily grind
I ride the downbound train

Sick and suffering so they said
I lay asleep, I lay in bed
Quite near the nameless Dread
Quietly the pain

Lotus flower, a little hope
She and I once more elope
Argentina birthed the Pope
I kiss her on the Seine

                    Merci!

One life only
Mostly confusion and pain
Time tick tocks
All my love in vain

Sleep late and long
No one really knows
We walk arm in arm
Through Seattle snows

Politics is hideous
History is horror
I just rest inside
I do not implore her

Postcards in the mail
Desperation in my house
Yo soy un isolato
Separated from my spouse


                 Rest.

No one important
But I have read David Markson
Carefully. Repeatedly.
Postcards in the mail

Country is in big trouble
Grateful for my place
Quiet. Quiet.
Destiny prevails

Maybe one or two get through
Maybe not at all
I try again today
Although I often fail

Asians in California
San Francisco Zen
3710
The Dragon finds its tail

I admit I like the poetry
Gives me something to do
Searching through my memories
Carolina blue

I've moved around an awful lot
Can't quite break on through
All alone on my lunch break
Reading at Seattle U.

I've been to New York City
Been to London too
Paris on my honeymoon
Paris, parlez vous?

Rode the Asian trains
Gambled in 2022
Gimme Purple Rain
I give my heart to you

        Susan Meek not Sue

I write because I ...
And I ...
So I ...
Yo!

All alone, Twilight Zone
In Seattle snow

Grey and rainy today
I'll never ever know
Words that rhyme, some other time
On and on we go

                       Reno!

Mexican food today
Errands with my dad
Cycling by the Baltic Sea
Best time we ever had

Cold, cold rainy day
Grey sky above
Gonna sleep it off
Exoplanet love

I miss little Reno
Lovely Sage Ridge School
Cordelia is truly noble
King Lear is a Fool

Tired in the afternoon
My couch is green and warm
C'mon pretty baby
Gimme shelter from the storm

Rain in the lamplight
Cold, very cold
Star Trek: Into Darkness
Mission to go bold!

Taiwan was won ton soup
Students very strong
Typhoons in Taipei
Am I late along?

Red Pine in New York
David Markson too
My sons and I saw Wicked
I'm Carolina blue

I like True Grit
Dune and City of Ember
I told her several times
But she won't remember

                  Forward!

I like the Seattle rain
And the Reno snow
I'll die and be forgotten
And I'll never know

The ocean is in motion
Exoplanet sky
Doom, baby, Doom
Me myself and I

Give me City of Ember
Sting and the Police
Hagia Sophia
Heraclitus from Ancient Greece

Gratitude for my dad
See him soon tomorrow
In my mind please courage
In my soul such sorrow

                    Hope!

Tired. Always tired.
But the sun shines today
Silent desperation
Is the way I pray

Christian was my therapist
I liked him very much
Satellite High School
Mike, Steve, and Hutch

I drift as I age
I thank Life for my sons
Calyx keeps me connected
Please protect my darling ones

Our politics is hideous
The country is in danger
Near the London train
Shared my dream with a stranger

                   Samantha James!

It's good that I'm not important
Live my boring life
Take my son to Wild Wings
Wisdom in the strife

Tired. Exoplanets.
Red Pine on the Way
I fall, I fall, I fall
Nothing gold can stay

Stay Gold, Pony Boy
Robinson middle school
Cordelia is truly noble
Harold Bloom a Fool

I begin again today
Small steps. One at a time.
Call my son, riverrun
Cranberry juice with lime

        Seattle is Sublime

In the time that's left
Some good thing
Fatherhood
Deeds that sing

Proclivities
Tormenting me
Patience please
2033

Lots of rest
Silent plea
Als Ick Kan
Xie xie ni

Ireland was misty grey music in the pubs book of Kells me at the post office with my boys bus ride through the country Galway cliffs of moher little apartment Finnegan's wake the belle of Belfast misty grey in the water and the sky

                    Aye! Aye! Aye!

It's chaos, this changing world
Chaos for all to feel
My soul within me trembles
Nothing is for real

The Buddhists stay serene
I too meditate
San Francisco Zen
At the Dragon Gate

She's kind, caring, pretty
A diamond in the rough
I'm 54 and falling
At times I've had enough

Gonna sleep, Gonna sleep
Dreaming of the Deep
Exoplanets spin
Aliens to keep?

Awake at 5:41
Lonely cool before dawn
3 dear deer
1 dear fawn

See my son today
Maybe basketball
Californ I A
Maybe Valley Mall

Into San Francisco

Cool grey city of love
Mist along the shore

I told her I miss her
In that I spoke the truth
Time tick tocks
I fall from my youth

Oranges in California
Moroccan mint tea
Hummus and pita bread
3333

Took the London train
Near the Scottish border
I serve the Secret Flame
No one in my order

I like my green couch
Music, DVDs
If she were on top
Please, baby, please

                  Willow trees

So I don't like the Dalai Lama
But I do like Thich Nhat Hanh
A few days in Copenhagen
A few days in Gamla Stan

My sons like video games
Birthdays coming soon
2 in July
1 in Flaming June

I went to three universities
Walked around a fourth
Republicans are corrupt
Remember Ollie North?

Toured the Vatican once
No desire to go again
Seattle in the snow
3710

                 muy bien.

Edgar Allen Poet
Quaint and curious forgotten lore
Me and Pythagoras
Inner Harbor, Baltimore

I would like to go to Germany
Also Istanbul
Will I die in pain?
Will I feel the pull?

My son and I watch movies
Unwell as I age
Mr. David Markson
I like to turn his page

Life is mostly sadness
The human being is a Mess
She's gentle, caring, kindness
My love I did confess

                   Guess.

So I'm against the Republican party
Its violence and its lies
Sacramento, California
I am one who tries

Coach Brian Katz
Timothy and the Cay
5 paragraph essay
Dawn goes down to day

I've got a monk in me
Got an atheist too
I like St. Bruno
I like Albert Camus

France on my honeymoon
Drank tea outside Chartres
My life is a bit ridiculous
Is it also a work of art?

             When I depart ...

Women are more interesting
But, alas, not for me
Best time we ever had
Beauty Baltic Sea

My oldest son likes to fish
Soon he drives alone
All these little poems
On my little black cell phone

Rain again today
Hath the rain a father?
2 prayers for my sons
3 prayers for her daughters

I like Michael Clayton
I like Star Trek too
I'm tired. Exoplanets.
Comin' home to you

      Do wah Diddy do

Politics is sad despair
And unhinged reckless rage
I like Moby ****
I like Turn the Page

Jerusalem was brown
Tel Aviv was blue
Tokyo was amazing
I might die in you

It's cruel, this old wastrel world
Gorillas in the mist
We search for ***** in Oceanside
I can't forget her kiss

Little brown chapel
Richard Rodriguez book
I sleep late and long
Restaurants. Do not cook.

             I take a look.

Red Pine in the Chungnan mountains
Drinks a little tea
Me in Dublin, Ireland
Man said meant to be

I might take a little walk
Soon to see my 3
One day older.
Xie xie. Xie xie ni.

                       We.

700000 people when it was founded
The Palestinians need a home
Free from Occupation

I walk around the campus
See the Confucius statue
Walk the library
Mason education

Saw my sons last night
Japanese food
A little NBA
They are my salvation

                 Grazie

The left wing does not fly

Will I see Japan?

Maybe how it ends
American life is lonely
I miss my high school friends

I might die silent too

(who was sane, of course)

And now I'm sick and older
My feelings for her
Still they sacred smolder

I'll die and be forgotten
Lonely as the rain
Just picked up a book
About Barcelona, Spain

Ben Shapiro is a racist
So is Marjorie Taylor Greene

Sometimes so do I
Carolina blue
Water in the sky

Dark hair, blue eyes
Caring, gentile voice
