Suppose there is no life in space, just us. And we inhabit Mars,
air condition Venus. Hold family barbecues, national holidays
on Mercury. Fly to Jupiter for spas of ammonium nitrate.
And go farther afield in the galaxy and on to other galaxies
leaving behind map-faced men, crow-like women and open gates.
Who will be the first-born human on the moon? News
from the moon colony! And so on, on every planet where
we've visited and established dusty villages or vast cities
over thousands of centuries. Then, will we not have somewhere,
somehow, under some sun's rays become another species?
On Winged Feet
I want to fly on winged feet,
I want to blaze a trail
no one else follows
and I want to carry a message to all
so Mercury would be proud.
Muscles afire on a summer day,
I want to leave all pretenders
gasping for air in a trail of my dust
for they will all know me by my speed,
a speed they can’t even imagine.
Alberto Salazar* will be amazed by me,
for I have stolen his heart of fire and his soul,
and this path laid out is my Heaven,
and no one knows it as I.
After I beat the Kenyans in a 10K,
they will go back to their villages
to train and train again,
and those along pathways and streets
will call my name long after the races
I’ve won, to live and dream
while my journey has just begun.
*Alberto Salazar- the top U.S. marathoner 1981-1982
What a strange word is mnemonic
far easier to say than to write or spell!
It sound like a disease or nonsense incensed to mislead
But after you get over that it makes sense
to use phases the remember hard concepts
and the orders of things thereabouts:
Short Word Left, Longer word Right Port - starboard
Every Good Boy Deserves fruit Order of notes on the tremble clef
FACE (Music Notes in the Spaces of the Treble Clef)

Stalactites hold on tight stalagmites might reach the roof one day
Dear Kate, Please Come Over For Great Spaghetti Order of taxonomy Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species

Snowfall prancers
Ballerina dancers
Gracefully, they pirouette in the air
Frosted crystals, though never a pair
Scene enhancing
Vision entrancing
Ballet romancing
Costumes white
Tumbling flight
Snowflakes flew in for their audition
Each posed in an Arabesque position
Swift Allegros
Slower Adagios
Pointed tiptoes
Emerging sun
Recital done
With risen mercury, the sunlight pelted
Each tiny snowflake had been melted
Ballerinas lost
Tragic Holocaust
Performance tossed

Oozing emotions calm down like silver mercury.
And the courage allows to stand out alone like the Sun.
And extended hands emit the aura granted by the Venus.
Yes, their deeds are loved by the Saturn.
Their Sillage survives as legacy leaving around ecstasy.
The Mars allows them to be assertive, forthright and directed.
Pluto controls their subconscious force and desires.
Jupiter grants optimism and generosity.
Uranus remains present to correct and grant accuracy.
Their presence spreads positivity!
For they are the blessed one’s!
Sent down to maintain balance and integrity.
They are aware and this is their identity!
Their numbers become the treasures of possessed personality.
Ruby and Sapphire......Nah they are in complete rarity!
The year long in the tooth, the crops have been gathered;
Forests’ autumn cloak lies mostly torn and tattered.
Cool fall evenings replaced by the late season gust;
Winter steals in as a cold betrayer of trust.
Slowly, yet steadily, the mercury recedes;
Dormant grass more fortunate than the dying reeds.
Geese leave the fields, heading south for another;
Water frozen like its terrestrial brother.
Then the snow descends upon us in a fury!
Sunlight not penetrating skies gray and dreary.
Wind-swept snow reshaped like dunes on a beach;
The warm allure of summer now seems far from reach.
Sub-zero cold arrives with its dangerous bite;
Giving pause to travelers, especially at night.
Sidewalks and drives shoveled, we seek shelter indoors;
Hot chocolate and marshmallows are winter’s s’mores.
Month after month we tire of the polar vortex;
With sad folks, burst pipes, and winterkill, among its effects.
Deer and wildlife who couldn’t escape its icy snare;
Lay where they fell, a caution to others who may dare.
Inside we hunker down while the sun is just a glint;
While outside signs of deliverance give us a hint.
Dripping icicles signal water starting to flow;
And remind us of the life buried beneath the snow.
Ice dropping from trees shows winter melting away;
Anglers and kids enjoy final days of ice play.
Winter’s part of the cycle of everything;
Its waning days beckoning the promise of spring.
she said the cold with out the snow
is just stupid
and i always get down
in the winter
i've seen the bad side of good
the good side of being down
and everyman seems to be his
own god damn prisoner
some days are like tomorrow
and mean nothing
i been known to lose it all
sometimes i just calm it down
but it matters not what i do now
i'm searching for a feeling
some what less than empty
something that feels like opium
after you breathe
i was once potent enough
to wanna be left alone
now saturdays pester
as if theoretically i'm gone
to tell the tale of a story untold
winter sheers my patience pale
so i light a fire, exhale
watch my conscience
pour mercury on a verse
you see the trouble with the curve
is sometimes things seem worse
than they actually are
hindsight i wanna feel like you feel
like opium just after you breathe
Whenever I come back here, I feel like a king
You give me all your roses and powder my wings
Like an angel
I love the way you ride me as if I were your boss
You guide me thru your chambers of sorrow and loss
‘Cause we're strangers
‘Cause we're strangers
Hell, it don't make no sense
You know I wanna appease you
But we keep meeting by accident
The woman in the window, the man up on the roof
They're witnesses to something that will never know the truth
Of danger
There's wine in the glasses, pillows on the floor
I came here with intentions but I don't know what for
‘Cause we're strangers
‘Cause we're strangers
Well, what is one to do?
Either way you look at it,
She's bound to be on to you
Tonight, I'm stayin’ home but that won't do me no good
I know they'll come knockin’, askin for wood
From the manger
The king is on a rampage, he wants the babies dead
Meanwhile I'm alone with your ashes on my head
‘Cause we're strangers
Strangers in sorrow
Strangers in heat
Strangers tomorrow
Strangers on the street
Strangers in action
Strangers by will
Strangers contracted
To pardon who they kill
I was burning in the blazing and the blankets of your hold
As my temperature dropped, I felt you claw at the cold
In my nature
Now everything’s halted -- the mercury stilled
We climb into an attitude of merciful wills
‘Cause we’re strangers
Today black wears the fin
For a man who knew how to win
After Broadway Joe proved the AFL was tough
By showing he looked good in panty hose and the buff
Miami put on the heat
Being very hard to beat
Greasing up the mercury on the beach
Super Bowl rings were in reach
Conference was the American League’s new stage name
Bringing entertaining fluff to the athletic game
A colorful peacock style
Captured and confirmed images for the football footage file
Don Shula crossed the grid iron waters
Into South Florida
The original Don
Waved his magical wand
And the tourist paradise caught on
With its oceanic feel
AFC respect was sealed
Mr. Shula we will miss you
And won’t forget your input in the NFL merger issue
Gaze upon the bonfire to see within
Chaos sculpted in natural beauty
Reliable Stability - Earth
Awakened Passion - Fire
Stimulating Inspiration - Air
Quenchable Senses - Water
Integrated Essence - Soul
Serpentine twists of color symbolize the orbits
Basic instincts outline the root in red
Sacral Venus adds the creative pursuit of orange
A ferocious Sun glimmers golden
The heart of the moon flickers in green
Mercury & Saturn flash in bursts of Blue & Indigo
Jupiter dances with a divine crown of silvery white
In unison, the fire burns on a glowing bed of transformation
