White marble walls
Clad with grey lines
Sign of the times
Good and indifferent
All in one place
Easy love
Slow pace
Coffee ground
Into finite matter
In the cup
And on the platter
White Marble

Define Future
Can we define the future
Decide with knife and suture
What will be remembered
And forgotten
Is the past obsolete
Or a defining feature
Of what growth must be
Debating
What will lead us forward
Or what holds us back
Can we define the future
And be so matter of fact
Some will be dismissed
Some gathered
My own mind
Would rather
Be in the moment
And experience reality
Not technology
Depressions ridden
Alphabetically
Future
Or
Past
What will go
And what will last
1969 Jade
Jade of the 60’s
Green in its glory
Floral wishes
Morning territory
A jade in the grass
Amongst the leaves
Of history and preset
Present hope
To find the jade
Lost entirely
Lost amongst the years
And in the crest
Of the oldest tree
A Rainstorm Sip
Rainstorm sips
Over
Easy
Good to the last drop
Hold the foam
Take away the unknown
Chicago roads
Wet concrete
Bibles
Lay open
On the streets ahead
Inflame Wish
An inflamed wish
In flames
Of fury
Worried
The news coming through
Is not the hopes
Of the everyday
Joe
Hold the wish
Step on the applause
Coming out of the broken speakers
Tweaking our numbers
To create magic
From a life turned
Tragic
32 on 32
32 on 32
Bottom of the cup
The ball rolled
Into an ironic
situation
Destiny
Or stranger than that
Holding on to my golf hat
I scratched my head
Did that the number revealed
Happen
32 on
The last day of 32
Birdie
Eagle
Was the way
It played out
On a sunny Saturday
Cold grass
Bent under my feet
As I walked off the course
That day
Fist Harbor
The harbor of fists
Of anger and resentment
Lies just off the coast
Of fulfillment
But when so close
Not to touch
Resentment grows
Rather than a hunch
Linger in the harbor
With the depths of blue and purple
Linger more
Linger ore
Bitter Ends
The bitter ends
Confusions and hope
Whole the while
Filling in the holes
From bitter ends
And faithful sends
In a week and time
When we make our alright
Land and Sea
Land and sea
The space we live
And the in between
Fragile and imperfect
Set backs
From certain
While the deep blue curtains
Are pulled on the shore
Of Florida
Ocean
Ocean sweep me away
From the miles of land
Away into the abyss
Of water and sand
Pull me from the night
With you whiplash waves
In the eve of night I walk the deck
To make sure we are
Safe and set
Ocean oh ocean
How fragile
Yet deadly
Fire and friendly
O Ocean carry me away
And tell stories for today
