Morning Musing
I remember that day
	a early spring day
cold snow melted away
	and grass turning green

long cold winter gone
	days of shivering cold
dormant brown grass lay not
	beneath crystal blanket cold

spring task was before
	needing to be done
in cool early morn

The Metro

At the metro 
Railroad cars run on steel, metal tracks above and below ground
A narrow pathway in the dark 
A screeching halt
A loud whistle
A train is approaching  now 

Subway lines follow their route...

I’m in Lubbock, Texas, at Reese Air Force Base
And I’m climbing the ladder into a supersonic T-38 jet.
The parachute strapped to my back is cumbersome.
I can feel...

What we practiced for all year
Not that I am bragging
But I was the one to fear
Now Sheila was a gammer
And MiMi had the charm
Jinx was just my sister

Deep Time
There are oceans in the ridges
near our house.
Ripple marks and sand slips
set in stone. The long weathering
of the world exposed them
and eventually will wear them down.

A thought experiment: first, a knife.
The thought precedes the word,

I Don'T Know
The bewildered tip of my pen hovered over the blank thirsty pages… 
I thought expressing feelings is as magnificent as the sight of the sun’s birth 
from the horizon’s womb...
Or as miraculous as a squeamish...

Ouch That Hurts
Drifting dreamily 
betwixt and between 
just before waking
as dawn slowly breaks 
a tranquil place 
I love to be 
stretching gently 
my legs from sleep

A morning ritual 
begins to descend
unwelcome

A low and pleasant voice manifests in the distance-
As if in a dream, if it's real I can't be sure,
But bounds between awake and sleep are but a blur.
