Riding my own coattails
I stumbled and tripped
What have I done for me lately
I seem to have skipped
Does the imagination of death
Inspire our thought of what life can be
As we sail the coattails of memory
Into destiny at the edge of the present
Squirrels running pacing dashing affably
Elegant fancy coattails in their black attire
Classy dressers these astute charmers

Persona non grata so I sang beneath a
moonlight sonata.
A ghost-finger touched a quivering semi-tone note,
,your soul con-caved beneath that haunting,
longing, aching spirit!
So persona non grata my coattails in winter
snow!

Surrender
Is sinking
Into silence..
Letting go of
That which appears
To grasp our coattails
And clouds the Identity
Of our true Self..
This is not to inquire
Into coattail attachments
But to directly recognize
That in which
We as well as our coattails
Make our stage appearance...
Listen to poem:
the morning
quiet as a prayer
stood breathless
before me
intoxicating
in all its modesty
inspiring
its wondrous silence
the world asleep
even the sun
slow to rise
stretching time
and so i lingered
at one with the universe
on the coattails of summer
waiting for a sign from you

Hold on,
don't you dare let me go;
From sunset until dawn
caught in the undertow;
I'm all thawing passion;
Tightly,
paradise is fleeting;
Savor that melt gently
the Sun will be riding
the Moon's coattails quickly;
Don't fall,
I may have a rough bounce;
Playing with that eight ball
a star with a sly pounce,
believe for the long-haul.
Listen to poem:
the frailty of human nature
to wonder where this all can lead
truth best captured in the present
no place more perfect than its now
riding the coattails of fantasy
candied kisses in clear mint sky
longing in conjured dreamy state
ethereal in its summoned whimsy
scattered figments of imagination
there then gone they never happened

Ivory tower dweller;
born with a silver spoon
in his mouth.
He's used to riding
the lofty coattails
of his tycoon father
Selfish,
arrogant
and self-centered,
he expects people
in his life to go
the extra mile to keep
his life "comfortable"
When they fall short,
he treats them
like chopped liver.
He's convinced himself
the world owes him
something.

The soft spoken
weariness of politicians,
their secret hope
the long,
unhappy dream of the fathers
would
stop dead in its tracks,
like homes under siege
encased in decaying dreams.....
permitting a new day to burst forth,
a pseudo resurrection,
one more chance to ride the coattails of
an ever expanding universe.
Easter calls its halt,
a remembrance
that stops the short lived chatter
to contemplate the risen.
How long do you think
you can ride the coattails
of blissful ignorance?
Isn't it flagrantly obvious that
you are skating on thin ice...
and equally evident that
you're living on borrowed time?
How long do you think
you can get away with avoiding
the elephant in the room?
Have I been the unjaded enabler
whilst my silence should have screamed
to you louder than any multitude of decibels?

To steal Moon's glow in troughs beneath my feet
as earth recedes and clouds embrace my flight;
a weightlessness and joy become my meat
and angels reach to set the stars alight.
Up here in space one feels
a brother to the wind,
and rides his coattails high
beyond the brightest star.
I rise to sit alone in God's deep lap
and reach to gather stars as I pass by.
I long to plant a kiss on Moon's stiff brow;
to steal Moon's glow in troughs beneath my feet.
Why Would Anyone Buy A Tesla And A MAGA Hat
Why would anyone patronize Elon Muck?
Muck rode the coattails of his friend Donald Duck
Muck and Duck went up the hill
To serve us a bitter pill
Their fascism has left the country horror-struck
Muck's shaking of the tree, and kills the forest
His cleaning of the house affects the poorest
He's slashing a sword at regimes
And sending our country downstream
Muck pulls puppets strings, and Duck's the daffiest
connie pachecho
