sighs
We’re coming up on the spooky pumpkin-latte season, when days suddenly end, while I’m busy in some sterile, fluorescent chemistry-lab and there’s nothing to do but walk down dark science-hill to the dorm.
Is that rustling...

No Killer Skills Involved
No skills involved,
just natural instincts.
No spiritual development skills,
leftbrain worded messages

natural/spiritual,
indigenously multicultural

Like singing and dancing,
sucking and copulating,
olding and young scolding,
Persistently historic

Hide the Details
Everybody got a Hollywood life story
to tell
More meat on the bone
give juicier bites
to sell
Nobody ever turns in a tarnished silver screenplay
Those warts and mistakes
get Photoshop casting couch edited away
Baby Jane rude attitude don’t make...

Pink Perforated Ping Pong Balls
Alfie was the first son of a billionaire
Who bought a golden cradle for his son and heir
There was no expense that daddy wouldn’t spare
And perforated ping pong balls didn’t feature there
On Alfie’s one year birthday...

I Am Not the Famous One a Tribute To Short Story Writer Ray Carver
I am not the famous one. But my pain was equal to his.
He became Chekhov. I became Alfie.
The meanness of the streets that spawned us made him a literary oak, while I became the hollow...

Ramblings On a Winter's Day
Ramblings On A Winter's Day

And all the words yet to be writ
Few will count, most will be canceled
When time records the final answer
Without paean, rhyme, or...

My dorm room was bright this morning. It was disorienting.
The sky outside was a cloudless, striking neon blue.
The air was so crisp and clean, I could hardly feel it going in and out.
It all sparked...

Alfie
Down the foggy street
your lonely figure did laik,*
no words no smile
just waiting for your mate,
knowing I, a wandering soul.
Like the wind!
I’d come and go, summer madness
winter’s snow, recharged urchin
forever all aglow. Yet!

My Limerick Ding a Ling
There's a lady farmer from Seattle
Who doesn't snore but moos aloud as cattle
She will only lay
On a bed of hay
Where sheep can't sleep for her rowdy rattle.

There is a woman that comes from Belgium
Who has...

What It's All About
I did not expect
to sing
"What's It All About,
Alfie?"
with as much embarrassing 60s passion
as I did
in my urgent
pre-traumatic midlife
self-critical 30s.
I thought,
by now,
I would resiliently remain swimming,
singing while dancing,
swirling in abundant win/win
economic ecologies
of deep polycultural meaning
and...

If Only I Could Hibernate
If only I could hibernate
To awaken in the spring
To see sweet swathes of snowdrops
A welcome sign as spring begins
With daffodils and hyacinths
And tulips on their way
And pretty blue forget me nots
In gentle breeze shall dance...

Today I Learn To Be a Widow - Lesson 5
lesson five
meals won’t be fun
alone
the clock will ring noon
i’ll hear myself say
o no, not again ~
then it will ring six
with the echo of
o no, not again ~
of course
dinner time might be
a little more encouraging

The pipe dream that the fat man had
He lied and lied and lied
And some were still surprised
The damn truth wasn't in him
Call me Thomas if you like
For no doubt I had my doubts
And he had...

Alone Not Lonely
Charlie is awkwardly social.
He lives his life on a cycle.
He sometimes meets buddies,
He likes to work on his studies,
Charlie is awkwardly social.
Alfie is cheery and popular,
He’s considered rather jocular
He often meets friends,
Hoping the night never...

Sydney
There we were - Alf and I - Pharaohs,
surveying those white pyramids -
Nests of ibis - ovulating -
Opera.
Across the bridge we danced,
Swaying o'er the waves below -
Spectred lovers on a phantom ship -
Drifting...

What Was It All About Alfie
“What was it all about Alfie?”
Yes, there was a time I didn`t think
of a woman’s feeling they were an object
only of my desires.
Then love came as did rejections
and sleepless nights.
What were the tears...

tired morning
This morning a song from a film
filtered through my mind “what was it all for Alfie.”

The Mystery
The mystery
The mystery of life is enduring
what is its purpose?
A couple having sex on grandfather´s sofa
while he is out milking his two cows.
The consequences of this brief union
was far from the couple´s mind.
So, I ask...

What's It All About
I often sit at red lights
feeling like a voyeur
peering into car windows
playing a guessing game
who are you
where are you going
another Alfie in the world
What's it all about anyhow
and I wonder
Sometimes a driver catches my...

A Lonely Place of Desired Remoteness
I have created for myself
a lonely place of despised remoteness;
many pictures I've taken off my shelf,
running away from humankind,
always refusing to settle down,
leaving no traces of my travels...
my identity remains unknown:
thinking I won't be found!
I...
