Long Breaks

Long breaks

Is what it takes

To reconnect

With the words

That can be off

Or correct

Up in the woods

Or down flat on the deck

Taking these breaks

Is what makes

Me keep coming back

Baltic Summer

A studio in the shore ditch of

London

A fresh sea

On the coast of Chicago

As the summer rolls up

Its sleeves

Bringing more heat tomorrow

On a ledge

Cut from fresh grasses

And hedges

The summer rolls on

And wrinkles my shirts

Edges

Seize the Win

Seize the win

In easy time

Set up the win

In modern times

Holding hopes higher

Than the clouds that fly

Above our heads

Over the land

And through the mountains

Winning and losing

It’s just life

We are using

Eye on a Coat

Eye on a coat

Like the rye

In a loaf

From across the room

A classic look

Fish bound

Hook

These coats

Don’t come here often

Not in these parts

Never quite common

Precedent in Presence

What comes next

What pillar to fall

While the justices

Disrupt

Peace for all

What can be attacked

And won

When mere human will

Is running thin

We set our own fate

Etched in stone

Now as the gavel falls

One by one

It’s each man and woman

For their own

Time Back in NYC

Time back in the old neighborhood

Where it feels right

So good

Parking late night journeys

Leading to a morning early

Seeing the skyline

With a dusty cloud sitting

Just above the tall buildings proud

Good to be back in the city

Advice Index

Advice Index

Running down

The lists

Of avenues

Of context

Taken away or added

Looking for hope

Never felt so

Dramatic

The Dramatic Approval

Approval points

Heard from the televisions

Buzzing in the background

Requires

A lot of attention

Held up by politicians hopes

Of ascension

Not just one dimension

So a frantic dramatic approval

Is given

When all we need

Is for others to ask

To be forgiven

Play Original

An original piece

Or composition

Had me thinking

Had me wishing

To create a hope for a future

Of writing my own tunes

Make a melody to start

Harmonize from the notes

Original pieces played

My Style Lifestyle

A style of living

Not to be confused with

Ambient feelings

Minimalism in the moment

Of life and detection

My hope is that the work

Of white walls and planted vases

Will mean a more meaningful life

In its place
