I was driving to Utah, because I had gotten a promotion;
And chose the scenic route, so as to put things in motion.

I had been traveling from Los Angeles, to Salt Lake City;
And the scenery along...

to an unfamiliar familiar sound.

I rose from the bed with cacophonous singing

ringing in my ears, separated the curtains

with the breast stroke of an Olympic swimmer,

and opened the blinds to the on...

rather yours truly doth thrive
on keeping the ethos, mythos,
and pathos of Pigpen alive

who one day envisions himself
as a decrepit solitudinarian
an aging long haired...

Grandad The Superhero

My grandad was a superhero,
You would not think it true,
For now he’s old and very slow,
And he only wears one shoe.

Birdman was his name,
But now he can...

With no one to keep me company,
my tongue's going to rot.

On my...

Flings and wings and rings rejected…
 Cupid’s arrows fly deflected…

Penciled lines drew cruel conclusions
mocking mirror’s cracked illusions…
Sometimes, in time, I hang awhile,...

Playing, and singing the blues…’

I am romancing with distant moments
Distance, I keep trying to connect by dreaming
In a time difference, so hard to get a full time so meant
For my child and wife, I longed for reaching

An Existential Curiosity

~0~

Ambitious existent presence to yield,
Hostage that's well endured of a pre-life,
Handcuffed fallible praying to be healed,
Labyrinth attributes drudgery strife.

Redeeming shrilling lob gratis to air,
Longings bounded dreamt outpours...

Resumption of daily/nightly constitutional

where twilight zone evokes night gallery),
and resumed walking a circuit
around perimeter of parking lot

Like yesterday again?
Today which is so gross?
Or tomorrow which brings remorse?

I remember how time whiled
And the wind blew lyrically with your sighs
And the tune of how your voice rise
