I think we block our own blessings.
I think the crescent moon has a glare to its presence.

with hands lifted in praise.
Running and jumping in

I’LL NEVER FORGET WHAT’S HIS NAME

walked on opposite sides of a street

Vegetables were going into striped bowl at a record pace.
Tomato, celery, onion and carrot began a foot race.
Onion and radish rolled around and around the rim.

The old ladies 
march onto the elevator,
steadied by their canes, 
each a shrunken frailty
wrapping an unending soul-- 
they are going to watch 
young people dance 
their dances of grace

Life is a Race, Run it Well
6-4-2016

Running, running, life is analogous to a foot race,
Some run a distance others appear to run in place.

Each day at sunrise appears to emerge a life flap,
And at each...

Seems like only yesterday
When I was young and virile
That was then, this is now
My virile has long since fizzled

But imagine someone at ninety
Competing in a mile long foot race
Running along...
