déjà vu signals time does not exist ~
discard then oh hermit, your to do list...

Déjà vu cannot occur unless time is not ~
Thus we’re in a simulation; life is but thought

         On certain rainy afternoons
        I smell anamnestic perfumes
        love... axiom or incarnation!...

Listen to poem:

Decision time is up,
a once-over review
prompts déjà vu,
a pause to think twice through.
For thinking once 
is merely enough....

Listen to poem:

what happened just now
is what I had dreamt about
it was déjà rêvé
my brain churned through memories
to predict perchance fated...

Déjà vu crossroads,
What is right and what is left
When love is not there;
Free of self, you lift your gaze,
A third way opens ahead...

You're mad, I'm insane
Playing the déjà asked game
You pretend it's new
Dodging the truth word for word
I can't tell until it's heard...

we are here as elsewhere 
in the subjunctive of souls 
in the verb to love 
in the déjà vu 
in the art nude 
without silent 
without noise...

carefree summer night
recalling the fireworks fuse…
Déjà vu to Vietnam

In lives past, a silent rue,
Whispers dance, déjà vu.
Familiar paths, memories accrued,
Time's echo is a mystic brew.
Past and present entwined, anew....

In the distance a myriad of voices call,
Echoes of the past hidden in déjà vu,
The lateral thoughts unable to hear,
The visions beyond the walls of time,
As answers come in perception.

Semi-sleepwalking
Ev'ry day is déjà vu
When my love's adrift

---

Nashville to Kentucky
The state line divides my heart
So where lies my home?

---

The journey stretches
I'm like Kerouac, on the road
Or Frost, miles to go......

My mind feels like a broken record, 
I keep thinking about the same old things.
I feel so stuck in déjà vu,
Running through the same old scenes.
Day in, and day out, 
My mind is never empty. 
But sometimes I wish it was, 
So I could sit and think....

The life I lived was
So exciting that I smiled
Each time something new
Occurred in one of
My days and I remembered
It as if it was

A thing that I had 
Gone through before, Déjà vu,
Sometime past, somewhere.

Time rolls by
As it throws down impressions
Of people and places
And these echoes
Remain anchored in the years

These impressions you feel
May leave you ill at ease
A feeling of Déjà vu 
‘I’ve been here before’
As unmeasurable dark matter.

Ma Aurore
N’existe pas
N’est pas ici
Moi aussi
 
Disparu
Complètement perdu
Dit moi
Dit moi pourquoi
 
J'ai froid
Mais elle n'existe pas
Je suis glacé
Elle essaie de prendre ma place
 
Dans le palace
Dans mon cœur
Déjà vu
Encore et encore
 
Mon amour...

I say to le "grand fromage".
You and your pastiche attachè.
You with all your rakish, cliche.
You think you're so Debonair.
You with another au pair.
You and one more rendezvous.
You again it's déjà vu.
You and another faux pas.
You always with Au revoir.
I say so much "bon voyage....

A rainy shoulders kiss
Traveling from peak to peak.
Once a weary well, still rooted in green.
She found herself greeting the spine of a haircap’s beam.
Like déjà Vu for the trees, only petrichor can fuel these roaring needs,
And as our strings entwine, let the leaves whirl in this time.
After all it’s our love, divine....

Inside, I was compelled to decline
How could I be yours when I was mine?
Though now acknowledge true transcendence 
Identifying independence.

Quenched quality of being free
Prime power of owning me,
Spiralled down to feeling blue
Detrimental déjà vu.

Though wishes made came with season
As does choice and fair reason....

Ten Words


T’was a bone fide anomaly
an avant-garde cacophony
carte blanche imbued with déjà vu
soft ennui of élan
following an endless toque
the dilettante went flat
baroque
