we then could speak uncriticized.
Or, if grammar were abandoned
we’d all be speaking standard.
Think how easy it would be
to speak flawed yet naturally,
and ...

The Searchers

...God bless the searchers
wandering through this maze
that we call yesterday and today
the pollen of living on their bee faces
they flicker into our lives
then back to shadow for awhile
their sky...

Stray Thoughts

...The clairvoyant could be a schizophrenic
or is it the other way around.
Mind cymbals of the mime must be unbearably loud

In The Matter of Nothing

...Heaven could be like an infinite holiday
without grief and burden of war

A family reunion everyday
bathed in the purist of light

My Way Or N A

...Often, I enter a contest
I enter the ones I like best

Another said stand in a bucket
Write Latin, or I’m...

...You've meant so deeply much; within my desire
If I could present a world or build an empire
It would be so easy to secretly conspire
In a way that you would not find hard to admire
