Up next
Is a new phrase
Of which
I have no answers
Just polite suggestions
That makes me ask
What is the actual
Projection
Up Next

All the Kings Men
All the kings’ men
Couldn’t bring back
The country again
As it turns out
It was just us
The average man and woman
That made the whole
World
Whole
Again
Deeply Anxious
Deeply anxious
In so many ways
How can I learn to say
The small ways I have
Grown
In times that require that
We let go
Of what we have known
What we learn
We head back to a time
When the best we can do
Is just wait in our corners
Me and you
Slope Story
A slope story
Is being told
Going up and coming down
To understand how we can
Go around
Wretched Rotten
A wretched rotten
That’s all I’ve gotten
When there is nowhere else to go
Downtrodden
My mind
Collecting moments
I wish could be forgotten
Today’s memories
All the same
Will be knotted
To the post
In my brain
Noxious
At times like these
What is the point of planning
Taking the moments
As they come
Rather than hoping
Just trying to do our part
Although at times
It feels like nothing at all
The Western Zephyr
I step out
To see the mountains
At six o’clock
And two minutes
Past
The winds slowly
Roll over the tops
Of trees
And around the walls
Bouncing off the pavement
And crawling past my face
On another
Beautiful Western Day
Cactus Admire
I admire
The cactus
As it bakes in the sun
Not afraid
Of the weather today
Or tomorrow
Just taking it all in
Balanced Cup
A balanced cup
Of coffee
In the morning
Keeps the day at bay
From slipping away
Warms the voice
And calms the nerves
For I have been nervous
More than ever
Before
The River Cough
The river cough
Was what made us
Realize
That we needed to go
In Texas
West of Austin
When we heard it
We now know
That space and time
Was closing in
On the life, we hold most precious
And there was nothing we could
Do
A Cup of Songwriting
