If the world was run by John Conway,
or our young friend, Terrence Tao,
things would run smooth and efficiently,
and this is most provably how -
with the Sieve of Eratosthenes, it could be done.
Boys and girls would have so much fun.
and every boat and sailing ship
would glide upon a Mobius strip,
costing but root negative one.

Woke up this morning
take awhile for
me to sleep last night
Sunshine in the morning
everythings gonna
be alright
read the letter
you left me
don't forget
to get the tuxedo
and your gown
taking off early before
evening
Me and my baby
ggoing out on the town
dancing
romancing
Cuddling up with
my Lady
We gonna Dance
the Night away
Dining on the
terrence
Groove the night away
"out in the World"
Me and my Lady
Kissing and stuff
Romancing my Baby
they sing ah song
one worth listening
I'm in the mood for
love
Smucking and Kissing
I'm in the mood for love
let's spend the night
together
I'm in the mood for love
it warm out
We love the weather
I'm in the mood for Love
with my sweet unobtainible thing
I'm in the mood for love
let's listen to them sing
Ah-ooh ah- ah.
like when they say
when they snap there fingers
and dance the night away
ooh-la: la-la, la-la
They want us to be
Kissing

Fossil Worlds Yearning
I
find
fossils;
this is my
passion and calling.
But layers of strata show a
separation from them to me, telling me of deep
time passing that will never be bridged. Oh, how I wish I could go back to those past worlds!
For my dear departed friend Dr. Terrence Frest, paleontologists/malacologists. Like those past worlds I wish him back.

life itself is an ocean
full of whales and sharks
sometimes swimming, sometimes sailing
sometimes surviving in an ark
don't be scared John Henry
just avoid the guns and knives
stay away from jealous men
and don't look at their wives
don't be afraid Hattie May
of the word woman and what it means
dignity and shame are both
worldly things that we give a name
plots and lies pollute the mind
and may cause death and doom
but they can only harm you
if you give them enough room
be cautious Terrence Avery
but not with fright and fear
success and failure are both measures
but they do not define your years
fear not Fenita Diane
for not all of life is loss and regret
and though there be tears and agony
joy and gladness awaits us yet
just wait Felisha Louisa
for we do not know the distance
between gut's and glory
having to risk, needing to save, wanting to win
are tools to fight our fears
bravery, faith and failure
inspire us, each in it's own way
but trying is the only way
to conquer our day and days
our oceans aren't uncrossable
if we make our fears behave

Being flings
Becoming forms
Living sings
First cause
Showers effect
Becoming patterns
Hurl and twirl
Form now swirls
Being unleashed
Moment to moment
Here and now
Becoming norm
Change charades
Masks and disguises
Karmic consequence
Start and end
End and start
Ripple effect
Round and round
The creeping vine
Fruits in clusters
Construct new
Destruct old
Instruct form
Time and space
Illusions all
Allusion tells
