The heart may fall in love unwillfully
so, in a script will lie my paramour.
Oh manic quest, I've sworn to set you free
to let the ink's imagination soar.
I’ve found a place to court a writer’s muse;

I guess it got lost, in the petri dish bowl.
In the mirror, a face like me would come through,
But that’s where it ended,
He...

As she walks in the door
My heart skips a beat
Butterflies churn in my stomach
I freeze, unable to move
Unable to stop staring and glaring at this beautiful dream.

Faces around her are blurred as my view of...

Each year we drive to the south of Spain to soak up the sun's warm rays
But we like to maintain a leisurely pace, so it takes us two full days

Which means we stay at Hotel-and-Go,...

I was sitting blithely on a summer day
When a child of God unleashed a threat.
So to the nth degree... it was lecturing me
And I could see it was quite upset.
I had no desire to offend...

He seemed an ordinary boy
until he found the supreme joy
of snowboarding, made it an art
in which no one can take a part
without recalling Craig, and how

One winter long long ago
It was our first year together
My husband
God bless his heart
Decided he’d go shopping
You guessed it
T’was Christmas eve
We’ll say up front
The man’s on crutches
And despises shopping
To the nth degree
But off he went
Into...

strange kindness that can be brought on
in just 
the exchange of money for a newspaper
the asking of directions and being told where to go

WHITE

Thumbs up for the whiteness of white, pure, 
natural or gently recreated on a dentist’s chair. 
How beautiful it manifests itself in smiling!

trembling t'wards dawn's path today
anorexic pale horizons lay
starved of light, of hope
sans by your leave or come -
I cried, i sighed

pale yellow sheets became worn grey
presumption rinsed...

one short score and five ago
it wasn't so - that streams
flowed in airless wires

on hand phones was absurd

that art could be a part of everyone's day
meals smartly delivered - have it your...

On that fateful day in August arriving late, so unusual for me
For I am always early; did I know deep down what the verdict would be

Electron herders, 
that's us. It began
earnestly late 20th century.
The first organic computers
using polymerase and qubits
came later. Weaponry
via numbers, words
magically appearing, 
telepathy. Measurements
in which the last significant digit
is the Other. However
immediately depleted
our resources were, 
antibiotics were...

Dark and Gray
By Rick Rucker

I cannot begin to tell you how,
My life has been altered now,

The normal days of my life,
With gloominess, they were rife,

The heavens seemed to unceasingly precipitate,

Azaleas putting on spring frocks of
Beautiful shades of salmon or pink.

Fruit trees gorgeously attired.
Gardens turning up their soil,
Hoping we will be inspired.

I am the happiest...
