Traffic Jam Schadenfreude

...
Every morning, I work from home
I turn on the radio, if I'm unhappy and alone
You hear so much misery when the car jams are told
Make you feel happier, if you're mean and cold

The outbound Ge...

The Never greens

...
Grandma worked for the salvation army, sorting clothes.

naked gun

...There once was a man who loved guns
With women he hit no home runs
He'd whip out his round
And shoot it outbound
While wishing to target their buns...

Is Something Calling Again

...Is something calling again
   From the distant hills outbound?
Is it a small voice within
   Or something hidden without?

What awaits you down the road
   Once you cross the valley bridge?

Santa We've Been Outta Touch

...Santa Claus, we’ve been out of touch 
and I don’t ask for very much 
but I have needs, and I’m in Dutch

I want to see the light of day
oh, and can you give me a sleigh
and a way to forget yest...

Memories

That memory reserves what does it gets
Memories fade, th...

Autumn 17-04-23

a time of change an eerie tune
as leaves turn golden and trees begin to bare,

rain crashing dow...

When Johnny Raced the Bat

...Do you recall where you were at
the day that Johnny raced the bat?
I was but a lad of eight.
A bat shot out of Hell, damned straight.
Johnny flew like an outbound freight.
A front row seat is wh...

outside summer's green door.
Outbound, a year sparkles
once age has come with grace.
Orange sun, red roses
of a starry evening.
Old age looks back, dreaming....

Poem with No Idea

...I had an idea for a poem
You must trust me - it was great.
I would love to share it with you,
But it left on an outbound freight....

Am I Light

...Am I light or dispersed star
Scatter or straight to all earthly uneven
Whether the stray comet to unfollow
Chaos or chord to sundry upheavals
Mortal cry pebbles the enshrined path
Luminious moon...

Pepperman Observation 03092023

...I OPENED A DOOR IN THE UNIVERSE
AND FOUND MYSELF IN A WORLD
SURROUNDED BY WHAT APPEARS TO BE 
ENERGY OR SHALL WE SAY ENERGIES.
WAVE AFTER WAVE OF ENERGIES.
I HAD TO QUESTION MYSELF...  
ARE THE...

...Clouds playing around
In the sky tramping above the ground
Dangling in merry-go-round
Smiling at you year-round

One cloud zoomed outbound
Glittering ice flakes fall in mound
Flowers and trees...

If I Am Not Like You

...If I am not like you, you have been taught to fear me. I have touched many the wrong way, I have touched many the right way. When the duality of the spirit within us all, can find a way to replace fe...

Undomesticating Wilderness

more universally connected,
hoping to hear with multicultural listening ears
and astutely perceptive eyes
deductively retouching
