The Boy With The Cardboard Heart
When you have nobody
you have somebody and
that somebody is
yourself.
Because you’re
all you’ve got.
So why need
anybody?
Anybody being nobody.
Nobody being somebody.
Somebody being anybody.
Somebody. Somebody. Somebody.
Nobody. Nobody. Nobody.
Anybody. Anybody. Anybody.
Does anybody
understand why
the I feel
like a nobody?
Even though
deep down I

He emits fire, when needed;
Angry with a heart...

Moody People
Today started out bright and shiny
Then suddenly turned cloudy and sad
Doesn't take much to turn it around
To change a good day to bad
Something that seems so insignificant
Can change the mood of the day
Like rain that falls that wasn't predicted
Or snow in the middle of May
They call us guys moody people
They wonder why we're up and

The Interworld
("The Interworld", 2018, original encaustic)
The Interworld
An Interworld
of fading light
twilight, midnight
Never bright
Of shadows shifting
moving on
spiral ‘round
and then gone
A dance a play
at edge of thought
time and space
come to naught
To leave us right
where we started
The Interworld
Now open hearted
(9/28/23)

Doubt
I am the turmoil
The thought you just can't let go
Oh, you so wish to
Darkening mindset
An increasing impatience
Do you know me yet?

Mood Swings
Mood swings come running towards me,
Doesn't matter if it is night or early.
Sometimes I feel angry,
Which changes into glee.
Sometimes I feel happy,
Which changes into gloomy.
Sometimes I feel day-dreamy,
Which changes into clumsy.
Is it just a hormones play?
Or is it just another dismay.
I wonder if it is normal or is it just me,
Does it happen to

Moody Judy
I once knew a lady named Judy.
Who was constantly moody.
She then took a chance.
And learned how to dance.
She now happily shakes her booty.

Resistivitiy Metrics are aassocated with
locating water before the drilling.
where discussions take us
from price to certainty
Costing then finds us as we
are excited to see
in awe we gloat and glare
those whos lesser understanding
just look at stare
which reduces labor
a chore which we support
then to doing
then that whats been needed
done
we applaud happy
as we prepare to drill
reliblity and productive
automation

Matts Moody Mother Mollycoddled Him
Matt’s moody mother mollycoddled him.
His toenails had a daily trim.
He sneaked out to date.
His girlfriend was great.
They fell in love which made mommy grim.
Matt pleaded with her to change her mind.
I love her he said. She is the marrying kind.
Forty-two is too young!
His mother said, Son!
He was a baby in his mommy’s mind.

Bp Moody, My Hero
Never had I met a man of the cloth more worthy of honor.
When I met him at the age of 19, he was around 35 and pastoring.
Very early on, it was clear that
