Melodic smoke
Rings from the car
Next to me
At the light
Bouncing off the hood
And into mine
Off the pavement and
Into the sky
Reverberating
Into the night
Melodic Smoke

Jaded Troubles
Have I been here before
Said this same sentence
In a way
That is convenient
And true
It feels familiar these letters
Together
Like
Me and you
Listen and Talk
If no one listens
And all we do is talk
We don’t see other perspectives
We don’t take other shoes
To walk
Through the life we live
And learn about each
Other
It just seems now
It’s one human
Vs
Another
Test Rescue
A test rescue
Starts
From the point of contact
And pursues
Safety
For those in flight
Like
Me
And
You
A World I Don’t Know
A world I don’t know
Comes in a devastating
Thunderstorm
Of clashes
With people
Who’s intrinsic
Nature
I would hope to be
Good
However in a world
I can’t understand
How one human hand
Can be turned into a
Violent machine
Of descimation
Desicration
Is now
What I see
I’m not sure that
Is the world
Where I want to
Be
Wonders
What wonders
Come today
That were not
Understood
Or hoped for
Bring a new year
And I will jump in
It
Right Now
How to Feel Displaced
How to feel out of order
Displaced
In a place of
Law and order
Not much will be altered
But a point of view
Lost security
Or over past rent due
A new home
In a new city
New clients
Lacking integrity
Just few to make myself
Displaced
In my own city
Machine Style
Machine style me
With a good natured
Laugh
Don’t impose
A frictional
Tone
Of indifference
Rather a love
I can hone
And develop
From a machine style
I envelop
All of myself
Old Alarm
The old alarm
Started ringing again
In my mind
I heard
What I have never said
That the past
Can haunt
When eyes focus on
He future
So we can’t foeget
When we start again
Forgotten Time
Time runs away
Faster than I know how to keep it
Or hold it in my hands
It just passes
Through
For me
And for you
