A Blank Ship

A blank ship

Hits the White Sea

From the moment

It launched

It was plain to see

That nothing was right

About the moment

Of go

Who knows

Where the ship rolls

Into the high seas

On a day set

From the start

Of eternity

Crooked Chalk

The lines from the morning

Ran over each other

Carelessly

As chalk lines do

On the sidewalk

Of the city

Where the feelings

Were new

To me

On this Monday

Afternoon

I looked from the sidewalk

To the sky

This is the city

Of my life

Groovy and Strange

The weather put me up to it

To walk out the door

In the sake of adventure

Looking once more

For a light

Or hope

In the sun

Was a color

I hadn’t felt in a while

Groovy and strange

Over the swampy range

Was a glimmer

That life will go on

Unite the Seashore

Unite the seashore

With water

Wide and blue

From the coast of Carolina

To the Florida Blue

To California

And Delaware

Everywhere

Can unite

With the waters

That give life

To the world

That we grow

And the only world

I have ever known

Awful Grubby

It was awful grubby

The attitude of the day

Some would say

Downright

Deplorable

For me I have

A few regrets

To take away

From the day

That went from clear

To grey

Rainfall night

It was awful grubby

Alright

Lamentable

It was a mistake

To hope for change

To vote for change

To think change

Was one step away

Rather it is a way

Of life

And thinking

Living and breathing

We can’t just hope

We can’t just vote

We must live

We must strive

Push into the future

Our good values

Rather than die

On the limb of

Hope

Insurance March

Get your place in line

All the time

From the finish

To the starting line

One paycheck to the

Next

The insurance march

Will keep you in step

Direct

Your life

And finances

In the way of

Confusion

What we pay for

Is just an illusion

Of ideas

Rather than real

Value

Who gets screwed

Me

And

You
