Hold On Tight

Who is coming

Who is going

The rolling order

Keeps on rolling

What is this man pulling

Our own teeth

Our own hopes

Driving fast

Without knowing where we are

Going

How changes happen quick

Overnight

We all better hold

On

And hold on

Tight

An Uncertain Tide

The waters of uncertainty crash on our shores

A briny sea beckons questions

The love of beauty

The fear of death

Wrapped up in a single wave

Seafoam gentle and curdled

Up on the shores of our land

The tide of uncertainty has rolled in

One hour late

But is here to stay

Here to stay

An uncertain tide

Has rolled our way

 

Quick Removal

From the heights of the Rockies

To the East River of New Yor City

Calling the truth 

Following the lights 

So pretty

New 

And unused

We march in order

Phones connected

Waiting social interactions

Waiting our next approval 

Or the posts we make 

Will have quick removal

Teller of Truth

Teller of truth

Wondering Words 

Now certain

Tell me the truth

Pull back the curtain

Curtail the confusion

Blast past the distortion

Teller of truth

Don’t fall to extortion

Don’t wait on late payment

Tell the truth

As you do

Teller of truth

Tell me 

What you wish 

I already knew

Unwritten Clause

Momentary pause

The unwritten clause

Shutting the night down

Down

All

Around

The house smells like I remember

As a kid growing up

Holding moments in my head

Holding these moments

Until we all wept

The moments we spent in the house

Going away for a while

What we will have lost

We will have found
