Can you help
help me find myself , I
I once was here
here but now I’m gone
gone to places I can’t find
find myself I know you can;
can you help?...

Back seat of a ‘56 Chevy
White with baby blue trim
Cruising out of El Paso town 
Headed to the City of Angels
Glorious west-bound sunrise
Static, crackling AM station
Day Tripper on the radio...

Jack Tripper
 Always seemed chipper
 There is no dispute
 That his roommates were cute

 Chrissy Snow
 A blond all aglow
 She always seemed lost 
 When conversations were tossed

Back seat of a '56 Chevy
White with baby blue trim
Cruising out of El Paso town 
Headed to the City of Angels
She’s fast asleep on my lap

Glorious western sunrise
Static, crackling AM station

You enjoy the bright colors 
and brillancy of 
  fantastic comic books
   Kirby, Jusko, Steranko 
    and the master Stan Lee
After entering the "Age of Super Heros"
     You are enlightened 
but remember 
    Archie is still published
(thank G-D for that)...

Comic book tripper
where are you coming from
   Did the colors delight
you and are you ready 
       to 
       put 
       on 
       a 
       cape?
    Meant for kids - but otheres delight in them, too
          Comic book tripper -
the world needs you...

Shadows flicker across my eye
blown on the wind,a brown butterfly

Hot summer days,wing into view
with an admiral and holly blue

Meadow brown,peacock and skipper
welcome pollen dusted,day-tripper

Art in flight,we so briefly see
conserved by us,their steward-trustee...

A little too early in the day
to listen to 
  this New Orleans "fonk"
   I must wake up  - 
and after all isn't 
  he dubbed "The Night Tripper"?
he rocks on 
   through the years
Poor New Orleans
   it fell prey 
to nature's wiles
   It must have been "the right place - wrong time"!...

Dazzled by Superman, 
Batman 
           and the Human Torch
She walked the streets 
    of the city
and was left behind
      by time
She saw  the gray urban environment
      and believed that 
superheroes  should spring
    up 
  from behind every door
No Archie here
       just a bleak
landscape
      until riotous colors 
explode - leaving behind a fistfull of memories...

In fluent argot like a profound inchoate
Chthonic patronizing blood paroxysmally folds in curdles
You illuminate none but yourself with a pleasant scapegrace idiocy
Dishevelled and voluble in dark ages of medieval filth

Legerdemain to my vituperate wills and wanders
Anything in purge of the death of proclivity, namely yours
Crepuscular black skies, fugacious and oneiric...you dissolve them

Caviler
Caviler 
Caviler
Abate your breaths...

You and Yu Niang are a perfect match made in heaven,
As you are both endowed with wit and beauty uncommon..
She sings songs composed by herself in a special way,
Like a snowfall cooling down a blazing summer day.
Despite of the hard time in the south she looks younger,
And smiles out fragrance of plum blossoms as a tripper.
“Tell us the hardship you have savored in Lingnan please,”
“My hometown is the place where my mind is at peace.”
(tran.)...
