Strange,
to only feel necessary
when you aren’t any longer.
Faith is half the battle
The Leap is up to you
It’s easy getting bitter.
The hard part’s getting better.
Isn’t that a novel idea?
For bitter or worse.
The lengths we’ll go to prove a point
are nothing compared
to the lengths we’ll go to save a life.
There’s something cynical in your smile
as if I rubbed off some and forgot to say,
that I’m not that kind of cynic.
And I feel no joy from any of this.
For those of you
incapable of happiness,
hang in there.
As without us
the world would be
an even sadder place.
There was new life once
In this old house
Which echos lonely footsteps
—silence rants and raves—
Trudging towards Nirvana
My confidence comes and goes
like passing showers in Southern California.
I wish I could have been
The air of reason
Forever calm
Before the storm
Instead of becoming
Those howling winds
Those howling winds
You knew before
But having been
Picked over plenty
Like a jukebox full
Of another’s score
And though I never
Sought to reign
Like Aprils Fool
I seem to pour
Forgive me father
For I have sinned
Repented, and
Will sin again—
My son, dear Michael

I’ll see you then.
