No Title
It takes a lot of courage.
To make simple minded.
Using up your marriage.
Yet not ever finding.
Something so beautiful. 
And so far away.
Pain is not approachable.
And will make you go INSANE....

Premium Member Bots
scramble the bots there’s a new weirdo in town
using up the sun, talking un-abbreviatedly odd 
some skin looking healthier than the rest of us,
us, junkies of likes – us, beyonders of midnight
I will leave it to the bots to sort out this reality

Premium Member Contemplating a Slug
     Stopping to contemplate a slug
       I marveled at this taciturn bug

     Designed to live underground
       occasionally it is found 

     making its way ‘long a crosswalk
       using up half a day’s clock

     on its tortuous path homeward bound
       ~ never making one single sound

Getting Better
Wandering through B J’s
Using up the time it takes 
To mount four new tires
I chanced upon a small guitar
Leaning against a set of drums
On a shelf at eye level
I took it down and strummed it
It was  tuned as ever  it could be
I wondered as I put it back
Who  had taken the time
Do you know anyone
who sharpens fish hooks...

Premium Member The Lake
The lake was only small
But we boated.
Not far to go...

Back and forth
On the little lake
And watching the boat go.

Back and forth and go  -
Using up the day
That won't return.

The What's of Life
With the hardships of living life
In today's world.
We occupy our minds using up
our energy in the

What ifs
What was
What isn't
What can't be 
What will never be
and What might have been

When we should be taking the space
and time to think of all the positive
and productive things like

What is
What can be
What could be
What might be
and What's possible 
  
If we do this we just might end up with 
a brighter day and the life we've been looking for....
