Friday’s News

Friday’s news

Blues from old walking shoes

Misunderstandings

While punches keep landing

I have checked hope 

Of a linear progression

News of the day

An absolute obsession

Our rendition is kept in tact

I don’t have to worry today

While others are falling apart no intact 

Counting Stop

At what point do you stop counting

Is it when you feel like your drowning

In age

In wisdom

At what point is it just happen

Without even a notice

Grown

The ones before have showed us

Concurrently 

Partially

Ergonomically 

We age

We grow

We get old

But when do I stop counting

Birthday 31

Birthday in advance

How is it I am 31

The great dance of life

Is well into the 2nd act

The life of a full impact

31 and not a day more

That is what the birthdays tell me

From New York City to Austin to Tennessee

Out on the road on my birthday

Getting old

Night’s Settling Rose

So the story goes

From primitive morning

To a sleepy night rose

Off to bed 

Off to wonder

Seeing what lies

While the heart grows fonder

Of people

Over things

No hands can grasp

When sleep prevails

No hands cling

So off to rest

Off to sleep

In the morning

Fresh coffee will steep

The Late Night News

The news crew are out

Distrusted and disdained

They once again are trying

To pull their weight

If not in content

At least in action

The numbers posted

Gallop said

Were not quite to

“Our Satisfaction”

So they will recruit stories in the morning

Chase them into the night

The news crews are at it again

And they think they will be alright

Funny Four Letters

Facts

Fact

The fact

Agreed upon

Facts

Non disputed facts

Exist between the boundaries

Of lies and illusions

It’s an inconvenient 4 letters

That we must rely on

In difficult times

The true impact

Of Facts

Face facts

Fact

Temporary Abode

The old house hums 

Creaks

And buzzes

Waking up on a chilly

March morning

Only weeks left until moveout

Temporary abode turnaround

A life in the arts bring about

Uncertainties

For the sake of art though

Certainly

Chimes bustle 

Take away

And give back

To move forward

And never look back
