bandied, postulated
and burnished
makes my life
so sweet.

Social convention,
to each of us,
ignore
the little
balls of sin.

What did today mean?

acceptance first,
perhaps then
wisdom.

Straight jacket
of politeness
keeps the blood
from heating
in exchange for
the soaring sweep
of joy.

and he makes us
laugh and cry.
Challenges us
and supports us.
Feeds us
and makes us
think.
Loves us
and is loved.
Young man of the world
making it a better place..

New Theory

What I say
makes me.

Sweet mooch!

Lunch made
soulfully delicious
with romaine
from a friends
garden.
Putting to work
right now building
this cog of
the universe.

Darkness at my back door crowds around the 60 watt build, keeping company with moths. When I throw the switch inside to end the glow I can hear darkness bump into the door, simple semaphore, asking me back out to look at the half moon and listen to the honda click as it cools. Just minutes later I can think of nothing to say on the phone.

Night before the last shuttle launch

In bed,
awakened by a gentle
rain,
breeze rustling the
trees
quiet and serene.
Atlantis poised
with its countdown
in motion far
to the south.

First World Problems

I have to laugh for
being aggravated when
trash guys leave a
barrel in the middle of
MY driveway, forcing
me to get out of MY
car before pulling in.
For a moment
what a jerk.
