If you insist on competition in this world
I must tell you
Philadelphia sweeps the streets proudly
Philly is a historical heartland
Philly brings the love
Philly will always rise above!
With eyes that see and ears that hear,
but hearts that look away
Each child unkept—all life bereft,
to rue these mournful days
(Children's Hospital Of Philadelphia: March, 2020)
Like an arrow shot free of its bow,

Who would sometimes go into fits of hysteria
When a bombshell he viewed
He became totally unglued
Started drooling and eating poinsettias

Visionary’s promise,
what’s never seen
Believers die invested,
in lives that wait
Junctions of immunity,
and sweeter air
A mutilated oneness,
—we call the truth
(West Philadelphia: January, 1973)
We are what we do;
we are what we say
As day becomes night,
and night becomes day
We are twice begotten;
we are twice betrayed
Forgiveness in hiding
—redemption misplayed
(West Philadelphia: February, 2020)
Mountains are never as grave as the Sea,
great heights with all dangers exposed
But depths that lay sullen, undiscovered, and dark
—hide a nightmare to sailors like me

The dead are tired,
the living go on
Breathless and timeless,
all energy gone
The dead left to wander,
betwixt and between
Finality’s heartbreak
—the end of the dream
(Philadelphia Ronald McDonald House: May, 2021)
