Which spread waves of culture shock,
That's now classic rock!...

He Does Not Stop
I write blank verse (justly)
Enjoying challenges (unjustly)
Good or evil (evil usually)
Not good myself (unusually)
But my God is GOOD (always)...

Bach Where You Belong
When you’re far away,
In another place,
Your heart is lonely,
Life is meaningless,
The room is empty.

If you’re abroad,
From east to west,
There’s culture shock,
You’re a stranger.

Get back where
You belong.

There’s no
Place like

Home....

Culture Shock
Building a bridge 
between two cultures,
is like swimming against the tide.

the up and down current,
often leads to a knock down.

to bridge the gap between two worlds,
is an encounter not so pleasant.

the culture shock,
quite difficult to encapsulate....

Culture Shock Welcomed
culture shock welcomed
so weird taking it easy
been needing this long

skies are fully blue
time is my New Friend Again
calm now existing

happy disbelief
like writing with my right hand
change medicinal

blood pressure normal
fluid in my legs now gone
peeing away stress...

I like to stay extremely vague,
born  alongside a culture shock;
Hype built by the publications,
a cinematic adventure;

Try but you will not guess my age;
People lined up around the block,
standing waiting with such patience
to race  into the movie theater;

New breed of film expectations,
we were both born in the same year....

Culture Shock
I saw it in a film: his city is beautiful.
Snow is everywhere, the trees are crowned
with it, and ice skims the harbor,
frosts ships, going nowhere. Even when
he held me, there was ice in his heart,

Ice in the pale blue of the washed-out
sky beyond his closed eyelids, ice
beading his vodka skin, and
"You are hot," he said,  "Hot,
hot, hot..."...
