beyond and below
beneath the cosmic tide
I awoke today to see
with the sun above
my shadow held tight
for lack of shade
as I crawl beneath
remnant chaparral
with this desert scruff
I scrub my bones

Okay! Time to get off the weather kick
There's lots more to write about
Like how many jelly beans in a 2 quart jar
If you leave all the red ones out
Or why do pigs have such really flat snouts
A fart that did damage to an edifice
Or the last time someone went over the fall
Both are considered quite perilous
The biggest boob size on the planet Venus
We're talking about aliens here
Not the biggest chest size ever recorded
But a creature with really big ears
Has anyone noticed a decline in my brain power
Father Time has caused it to freeze
Normally I'm lucid and really coherent
But recently I've been talking to bees
Now that in itself is really not unusual
But I tried to tickle one's tummy
Got a nasty old sting on the tip of my hoohaw
Medication cost lots of money
Of course this is fantasy and all made up
Did you really think it was real
Oh oh I'm more than a wee bit concerned
That you'll think I'm a wee bit off keel

I understand and respect the way you feel.
I know a desire to be sexy is your freewheel.
you eat once a day ....since May you never betray.
keep holding on just for more few days and you will be a keel.

My gait is much slower
My memory's shot
The hair on my beano
Is thinning a lot
My mind doesn't notice
Thinks nothing's changed
Who am I kidding
I must be deranged
Now starting to notice
These things that occur
On a near daily basis
Pretty normal I'm sure
But seeing that this
Is my first time around
Each day's like no other
But exciting I've found
Hope I've still got
Some fun days ahead
Winding up in a home
Is something I dread
But I'll still write poetry
Till the day I keel over
My life's been amazing
Not one complaint ever
Feel so damn fortunate
To have lived my life free
A shining example of
What a life oughtta be

I almost think you're
killing me inside.
No, it must be me.
I'm mentally killing myself,
keel hauled over wishes
and wonderings and dreams.
You say there's no hope
but my heart doesn't hear.
You say you're truly sorry
but I can't believe the end.
Can happiness truly return
after such devistation?

Getting along brings my hearts delight
I don’t want your anger to ignite
I know I’m no shining knight
I don’t want us to fight
I know I’m not as lofty as a kite
As night is blue and day is white
I don’t want to always be right
I want your love for me to ignite
A kind look makes me high as a kite
I like to hear your insights
For us to be civil would be alright
Being with you is my hearts delight
