Long Sidetrack Poems

Fr. Time is with us today, again, or still, I guess I should say.

to say it again, 
like I just did.

Just a reminder of a contractual...

I was friendly with God....

In the North the news brays
There’s no equality
And adds to the fray
Staged hostility

In the East they mouth
There’s new racial frictions
Plus they, in West and South
Peddle hostile fictions

Don’t look to the NEWS
Look to...

The origins of light born through the dark velvet,
Linger in the outer stratospheres of air.

Was his theme song to his life story
An old record...from present to history
A soundtrack
To any sidetrack...on his block
To his black...and back from his black

What on her disgruntle to sidetrack my dear love-

deject and confound us
topple us up one side and right down the other
but I'll still be me and you'll still be you.

It's date night,
in the car, going to the movies,
I begin to cry,
Try to hold back,

Can’t take back a wisecrack
If you wanna be a crackerjack
Earn a greenback from blackjack

Gotta buyback your backpack
Need to blister pack your flapjacks
Evident ebbing of drawbacks
Raises the bar for the sad sacks

Near my house in the back,
bit lost on a sidetrack,
along the grassy track.

Turned a bit to backtrack,
