Call the Feathers

Call the feathers

In a straight fashion

Walking down the isle of

Contrition

Contribution

Holding up

The human evolution

Call the feathers

Call the boots

Ease the tensions

Erase the loops

Here come the birds

Calling Sides

Calling sides

Major dilemma

Taken in strides

Years come and go

Making room for us to grow

But what will come of

Yelling that coverts to anger

And anger

Nothing

Let our resolve

Be greater than nothing

Rainy Lazy

Lazy rain

On a Monday

New Year’s Eve

Hours away

Bring the fresh start

Without the clouds

Doing their part

Come new year

In due time

Start again

Feeling fine

Ship Canal

When the Des Plaines and Illinois Rivers

Meet

Headed to the Mississippi

There is a pace

Nestled on the shores

Of Lake Michigan

Black building scraping the sky

Leaning back

On the windy side

At the bed of the river

Lies mysteries

And long live series

Notes and pens

Float at the riverbed

Years of passing through a city’s heart

And in all of our heads

When the three rivers make one

And down stream it flows

Through Chicago

New Year’s Sky

New Years Sky

New York City

Bustling streets

Everyday dreams

On the streets

Lifted up to

Empire high

Ever upwards

And continually so

Feeling the New Years glow

Eastern Seaboard Foam

The seaboard

Bustles in the east river

East of the Manhattan bustle

In Brooklyn

Memories

Of these sights

Pass through

My mind

On a morning

In Indiana

Western Coffee Cup

The western coffee cup

Above the border

Where the wind is mild

And peaceful

Where the palms

Sway late into the night

Los Angeles

Abounds

When the western coffee cup

Is had west of town

Tree Save Us

The trees save us

Deliver us from our

Own perils

As we fall prey to

The toxins

We emit everyday

A tree

Can save us

As it has before

Growing from the ground floor

Taking us under its shade

Please save us trees today

Bravery and Shutdown

Bravery and shutdown

The juxtaposition

Of nature’s

Vs

Nurture

How our composure

Is tested

For our future

Are we brave

As we brace

For the changes

Of a slowing race

You tell me

Sympathetic Facade

A sympathetic facade

For the problems I don’t understand

In worlds unlike my own

My experiences limited

To the places I’ve gone

My external demeanor

With attention acute

As with a scientific procedure

I procure emotions

Detect shared moments

And respond in kind

With no tired hounds

Under my eyes

With time

The faces seem strange

Yet odd

With a distant and cold

Sympathetic facade
