Gone Fishin’He loved to cast a line and lay
crab pots off the rocks down the bay.
I would tag along for the ride
and hope Tangaroa bless the tide
givin’ up its catch of the day
So the fish whisperer did call

The Mind of TimeMinds meet mind minds to talk of what is pure and divine
But they too are caught in to the web and reveal some things
That should not be said, they have travelled a thousand miles
To mend the broken lines changes were coming soon so they
All gather at the table to test the minds to see...

Tariff For TeaTea in the well
Gin in the sea
Spices are floating
In the clouds with me
Get a bottle of wine
And dine with me
Tariff in the big boat
Dancing with me
Vodka on the rock
Locking at my new frock
Whisky in the market
Smiling with me
I have dinner date
with friends and
Company so make
your reservation
before the clock struck three
The fisher...

An Editor Grills a Cub Reporter
“You got the goldfish interview, as asked?”
“I did, sir, but he lacked the wherewithal
to answer me coherently, I fear.”
“What’s that supposed to mean? The fishing section
is looking pretty thin. You showed up masked?”
“Of course I did. That goldfish flu’s no joke.
He said he’s scared of casual infection.”
“Your killer question, then? Your master stroke?”
“What is the...

Stark Bare Trees on Piermont PierVisibility is low, wear a bright vest,
Cycle with lights on, caution is best.
Stay on the bike path across the Tappan Zee
The Hudson's below, but you can't see
You can't see the water, the fog is like a wall
It might be a blanket, it might be a pall
You peer through glasses...

Fishing
We set off full of hope into the night
as it grew blacker towards the end
of the jetty where shorelights
dimmed to a distant glow.
Wind drove a swell to boom
and crash against the pylons below
sending a shudder through our feet.
The air was bitterly cold.
Baited hooks hung in the dark depths
on the end of a...

Fishing for faithWhen problems arise, we can’t solve them with fear when things are out of your control. Human reaction is panic naturally, which is not a solution and a waste of energy that you could have held onto. Though we sometimes choose rather to suffer. Thats because at some point or another a spirit who oppressed...

spark quickly the rise
Spark quickly the rise,
Dilating dark with glitter stars of cats eyes.
A language we sausage use.
Clumsy myths attenuated
With parachutes of feelings mapped;
Syncopated copiously.
A door opening those parts explored, for instance.
Snail trails of shiny slime on wet pavement;
Mirrors looking backwards,
Entwining organs through time.
Primarily another path
That leads me back to...

My BoatI built my boat up, sawdust in my eyes
Love and kindness ingrained since my younger years
Now just a pile of wood
I built my boat up, my hands aching
So it would withstand the storm
Now soaked with hate
The first fisherman came and said,
“I cannot get any fish, may I get your aid?”
To which I replied, “Of course,”
How...

he had waded out into the waters
del mar in the morning was quiet
and he certainly was not on the sea of galilee
.
he had a pole in his hand
and stood quietly still before the lapping sea
ankle deep,
just enough that i could see he wasn’t standing on top
of the waves

An Ice Fishing House, Abandoned, in Need of RepairAn Ice Fishing House, Abandoned, in Need of Repair
That same shed waits
by the trees.
Waits on its skids
for the lake to freeze,
and the for the creaking
joints of bickering
stoop-shouldered men
as they push it out to the center
of a pool of glass.
It houses the stories of fishing
in winter, pulling sustenance,
wriggling, through chiseled
portals into another...

Fishermen of the Islesno cowboys in stock on this side,
but acrid fishermen provide
marine lifelines, hamlets sustain.
Spineless seas they ride, shark's terrain.
pre-dawn cowboys of Waves arise
early wranglers trawl for the prize
through murky waters or in plain.
Spineless seas they ride, shark's terrain.
catches of chub, snapper, and sword
concoct dinners we may afford.
praise the fishers, saddled with...
