Spontaneity

The ties of time and tide bestride 
the man who is defined by
clock and compass.
He who embraces spontaneity
and keeps a happy heart
will garner more good will 
than over-planning ever could provide.

Running Wild

The ties of time and tide bestride 
the man who is confined

worldly-wide has a better measure of his soul 
than time or tide could e'er provide.

Enjamb Me

My girlfriend climbs on one knee and en- 
jambs me; ecstasy.  Her elation 
is so, so delicious; 
so very capricious; 
poetic female domination.  


*Enjambement is French: straddle, bestride.  It's also a poetry term.

Never Be a Gold Digger

Don’t  dare be A Gold Digger,
Who pays like A  
Never one's treasures near
While permitting no fear.

Never either bestride a farm 
That didn’t weary your arm
Nor try to closer go 
To any of its inviting row,
For one should not  at all experience charm 
Of what didn’t occasion one harm:
To never dare reap 
What didn’t for you grow 
Not amass in a heap 
What another did sow

Many a gold digger has ended like a fowl 
And very few felt they should wear a scowl.

Greener Grass

Just don't ask me to care that cupboards long bare
Shipped out with the fair
Bestride the snake oil salesmen fortune tellers
and tears of the clown
But if it weren't for the circus where would people spend their wage money
On that which alleviates the pain refrains us from saying
Those 3 prophetic words 
I am sorry
I love you and I will forever care a long as I can draw air
For if the grass is truly greener on the other side
Would you still be here talking to me now
