The Impartial Egg

Dark snow on a light morning

Somehow these days develop

With no warning

Rain falls

Snow to follow

Swallowed up in the lack of light

Untidier and unclean

Steering down the road

Coffee awakes the soul

Somehow I know that more is to come

More uncertainty

More long nights

And warm mornings

Crack the egg

Make the meal

The seal of a simple morning

As the lights come on

 

 

Rhetorical Noise

It all comes down to the wire

Unwired and unplugged

Unscrewed undone

Why are we all caught up in the glue

Of the everyday

Power is power

Love is love

What comes above

Is respect and dignity

Unbeknownst to me

How to relearn

Love and noise

Are separated at the inception

I hope we all separate the truth

From deception

Consider My Age

What will become of the hundreds

Thousands

That end up giving up everything

Come up just a bit short

Short of the goal

Slightly off the objective

What happens when those souls

Examine minimum wage

And reconsider everything

Starting with their age

These revelations come on off days

When I am at the store

Realize somehow everything moves along

Push the grocery shopping cart

Keep shopping

Shake it off

 

Hourglass; Tell Me

Hourglass tell me what time will bring

What joys my heart will sing

What pain will be laid on my heart

How I will be broken

And how I will put it all back apart

Will I be rich

Will I be poor

Will I have to ask for help a little more

Hourglass read me my hours

As I fall asleep

Tell me what will be lost

And what I can keep

What is whole

To me known and unknown

Hourglass fasten my eyes on the future

Hourglass bring me hope a little sooner

Sweet of Me

Sweet of me

Coffee on a Friday night

Slow motion 

Next to the Atlantic Ocean

Our bed is a revolving door

Ask me tonight and I will be unsure

Of where I will sleep tomorrow

But tonight I drink you in sweet

In a cafe 

Near the Abbott Kinney street

Distracted Attractions

Oh what questionable distractions

Attractive as first glance

Quaint and uneasy

Under examined

The sun

The sky

The moon lit nights

Palm trees

Oh the goodness of distraction

The fruitfulness of sanity

Returned from a distant place

Now and again

My distracted zen

Bland

Here comes the surge

The mass deportations

Unappropriated funds

Irresponsible ones

Lead the charge

Lines seen dominating the headlines

How can we not at least take a chance

To try and dissect or understand

What is happening now so routinely

Across this land

There are battles being fought daily

In every moment yet our eyes and hearts can turn

Bland

This one orange toned man

Has no sense of humility or true plan

No one can understand this blight

We now deal with it everywhere in sight

I just open the papers and pour out the news

This is our land

And our land to lose
