or to forecast events that unfold.
Somehow I know I'll be happy
with you until we get old....

predicting patterns
anticipating outcomes 
self limiting possibilities
languishing in darkness
blind leading the blind
a tragedy of our times

Want you to know that we are capable,
Of predicting all things will be possible;
So much manure,
We must  endure;
Had ended up becoming unstoppable.

Believe it when I see it
Before I commit
To a beach with these old eyes a-scanning...

Repeated reminders throughout the day
Telling tales of hat is coming
Predicting and preparing us to pray.

I hid beneath a thick assemblage
Of our ancestral tree

And standing in  the dark of silence,

More snow which is poor
But after eighty long years, I surely won't fret

Gonna vacation on Manitoulin Island to get my winter tan...

El Ninjo is the reason, oh thank you dear Lord

But must protect my mister
The price of an implant I really can't afford

Rain

Rain is needed as we enter the outer limits of October
And  sunny California is unseasonably very warm
It’s very dry as we approach the entry way to November
Nevertheless, weather experts are predicting El Niño storms

Things are all messed up
What's going on, I know not what
A mere blip, imagine how confused are the trees

Grandma's 
tea cups swirling
with sweet honey and warmth
as we anticipate tea leaves
telling

events of love
and possible pathways,
predicting minutes and moments

Predicting circumfrence, location, pointage
Fidgeting, remembering
Top-Form, what I martial kick you is safety...
Death....

Ghosts of the past
Presently predicting the future
Wounds left untreated
Waiting on a suture

Affected by the infected
Waiting for Resurrection
Walking an exhausted path
Begging for reinvention

The wind at your back
No pack to cover it up
Wounds from whips
Screaming "enough's enough"...
