in your hands.
they say, be like water
as if on the drop,
the turn of H20 on tap,
one can go all Bruce Lee.

he projected, without malice
in his lithe fluidity

His lungs failed him.
He taught me that the lungs
harbor grief.
His lungs are gone.
My grief has only just arrived.
He used his lungs to power
his Power.
To power his speech.
His lungs let him connect

Appeared on Canadian TV
A couple of albums and two or three shows
Played...

it was a rain-swept monsoon day
way back then, so many moons away
when i felt the music strumming in my veins
setting me free like a runaway horse without any reins

your verse spoke to people just like me

During the Job Interview, I Was Worried the Interviewer Hadn'T Heard Fire By Bruce Springsteenhis nose was distracting
but so was mine
i listened to it ; in the car on the way

i saw paintings
i followed him home
hid beneath...

Excuse BruceThere was a fellow named Bruce
Who always had an excuse
When his wife caught him cheating
She gave him a beating
And threw him out on his caboose
So he went to his mistress
in desperation and distress
But he got under her skin
as his excuses grew thin
So she threw...

A lumbering man,
audibly achily, stepped to the
floor’s center.
Had there been a spotlight, he’d’a shone.
His arms unfurled.
His hips spun.
His soles, silent
as he padded here,
then twisted to place a foot there.
A phoenix swooped, festooned in fire’s colors.
A monkey stole a man’s visage, and made play there.
