this, that
never got a letter
back more fool me
life's under going
a real growth spurt
hang onto your
bottom line keep
a grip on the rails
of your ship as
you're guided forward
there's only one
direction we go
onward in time
abreast with the flow
head above water
breathing air through
the nose that, this
is the way that it goes

Did You This That
Never got a letter back, more fool me.
Counting on the ginger root getting back to sea.
Having followed the Silk Road for many a mile.
Got a caterwauling holler at a cost
Not representing my last dollar

Limits of Vision

beings with a split brain and only two hands
hominids loping along to score our next medal
thinking we're winning and conquering lands
What are we overthrowing if not our own sense
of real objectivity and knowing the difference
between seeing and believing that anything's real
like the pores in our skin or the craters of the moon
How may we secure our newfound perspective
If we don't keep in mind that later or soon
enough our misguided sense of directive
could use further adjustment to better attune
Ourselves to the notion we're part of a picture
much greater than anything we might imagine
if we just let go of our own patented scripture
the authenticity remaining we could examine
How strange to think that whatever is evident
May require faith to believe in due to its size
That our individual selves here as a resident
Remain a fraction of a colony of cells in our eyes

Westerner
Back in tharm days, knob stirrups had it, they flocked rocks out on the plains.
The way I under heard it, twas sketchin' swor'n uppin' downy ken, thin reavers
of the road ripped 'em. Plain shavings left to crumble with the passage of wheels
in times to come. Red demon Sun inflamed and chasing us ever since one down the long
stretched out shadows of the soul. So long as the whole planet keeps rolling,
we gone stay on the ball, on the dark wrapped up path hidden behind sleep.
Our lurking black projections sliding tall and winding up into a darker ball
of memories to disappear amid a crowd of stars. The cool morning breeze
blows in the scent of licorice and lemon trees. A camp fire crackles from dusk
until dawn. Its red embers render faint echoing old messages between constellations.
A Western poem's sidled up and been hitched to a post.

Picture
Sandwiched between smoldering onionskin tissues
favor it outstripping most topical issues
did you think for a second he still had it in him
were you carried away on the still running current
Could the dream begin wavering before evaporation
was that merely an overlaid fading apparition
had they really controlled our lives by attrition
does the fossil fuel industry fart in the wind
Focus on what's before us before the distraction
becomes magnified leading to the subtraction
of all that's important in most of our lives
peace on earth for our children and wives
Go ahead and picture a river of time
in a valley then try to see clearer
the terrain through clouds thinning
and the sheen of just winning
To understand one's self
first one must understand others
because when we look through someone
else's eyes we begin to see the whole picture

happen to visualise
The parameters of what we're doing here.
It's a circumlocution to bring about the rejuvenated
oxygenation back around again in more or less constant
circulation. Some of the regulars come and go,
but the few individuals who stood out were never seen again.
That's the way the miracle works.
