hunched over coffee
it’s 6pm and Sunday
a solemn afternoon
there really isn’t more to do
but watch passerby
smile hand in hand
planning one another’s future
in the corners of their eye

taking the cuffs off
What’s the point in saying anything
with so much more to say
than what you’re actually saying
you just kind of don’t think you do anymore
or perhaps you haven’t found the right words
because I could go on all day about it
so don’t lie to me kiddo
I could punch all the mirrors in the world
but it wouldn’t make a difference either way
that’s just a cop out and I’m taking the cuffs off.
obsessive compulsive culture
These are
obsessive compulsive times
in an even more
obsessive compulsive culture
so it’s no wonder
this obsessive compulsive content
isn’t anything more than
a like, swipe, and vine away
from disappearing.
You don’t have to smile
If you’re not smiling today than good.
You don’t have to smile today.
You don’t have to smile tomorrow,
but you will smile again.
And when you do, I’ll be there
telling you I told you so.
And it’s going to be a great time.
It’s going to be better than before.
swimming circles
like a goldfish in their bowl
you don’t ever get to leave
staying where they keep you
what a pity or relief?
hell I don’t know the difference
between seeing and belief
but that fishbowl you’ve been swimming
looks far too small for me.
so if you’ve thought what I am saying
half a dozen times
your chances of remembering
are just as good as mine.
like a goldfish in their bowl
I don’t ever get to leave
still I keep on swimming circles
headed for the sea.
when the earth quakes
When the earth quakes
I learned the other day
that people become
very much equal
looking for a doorway
and having no clue
what to do next.
on the mountaintop
We spoke a lot out there about how different folks live their lives,
about the idea of success and what it really means to feel comfortable in circumstance,
about family and virtue,
giving back and taking more consciously.
We say the things up there
on the mountaintop,
which are hard to say among the crowds and noise of the working world’s downturned head,
but no less we come back down renewed.
Bohemian Blue
Scott wouldn’t let me leave
he said
where do you have to go?
Stay, have another
we’re your friends you know.
How much cash you got?
That’s it, no more
21 dollars even
and thanks for being here.
Walking among Redwoods
I never stood a chance in the landscape of her eyes
that green mountain range overlooking cloudy skies
but I walked a long while to get to where I’ve been
and I’ll walk a little longer regardless of the wind.
Is it better to escape like a dove into the light
or give into the darkness which creeps in from the night?
There’s something in the hills, either way I’m headed down
as I stream into the valley, with the current I am now
free from all the heartache, I barely make a sound
with the roots of the sequoia among the ancient ground.
watching dust
two vessels lay
like the dead
watching dust
disappear
off the ceiling fan
