Sublime

5/24/2025

Force fed
An alphabet
And dined
On Pacific time.

Enhanced by
A plot of grass,
This shifting mass
Ran out of gas.

So it seems,
These laser beams
And twice stitched seams
Have found the morning.

Don't cry,
It's swarming.
I hear the buzz
Now just because

I'm hoping.
Enough of coping
With second string.
And another thing,


I think I've earned
What's now my turn.
Now turning faster.
The fasting chapter

Comes to an end.
I've got the bends,
But never mind,
It feels sublime.

Someone's coming.
Someone Who
Scared you silly,
Made you blue.

Remember Marky?
Remember Me?
In the dark, he
Came to see.

Helen, honey,
Here I am.
Get my money,
Then I'll scram.

You look familiar.
Yes you do.
Maybe cuz
I am you too.

Let's go playing
In the park.
Let's chant sing songs
In the dark.

Someone's coming.
Someone Who?
Someone's naughty
Through and through.

Remember Marky?
Remember Me?
In the dark, he
Came to see.

Pick up a lamp
Or grab a rope
He's at the door
Don't be a dope.

He'll jog your memory.
He'll chase your dream.
Up on the landing,
He'll make you scream.

I hear you, Helen.
Loud and clear.
I am in body,
That which you fear.

Try to remember.
I think you can.
That glowing ember
Just needs a fan.

Brighter, stronger
Braver, true.
Recall the past
Has room for two.

Wake up, darling.
Wake up, dear.
No longer need you
Hide your fear.

In Dreams, We Sleep

5/19/2025

Time is the enemy
Time is on my side
Time is riding next to me
On this rollercoaster ride

Up and down we go.
Dancing toe to toe.
World that spins us round
Finds the clock unwound.

If you dream, you'll sleep.
Go floating in the deep.
A window or a door
Go through and dream some more.

Inside,
The cat girl growls.
"Come with me"
In omnipresent vowels.

The fluorescent moon
Hums and glows.
Chasing after,
There he goes.

Off to another date.
Hold my calls,
This one
Can't wait.

On a pedestal
He stands.
Respect
He commands.

Time has tarnished,
Dulled the varnish.
Commemoration.
Veneration.

Clacky clack.
Smack of balls
Sputters through
Cigarette halls.

On forest felt
And chalky blue,
In the corner
Waits my cue.

Corner pockets.
Winner’s cup.
Fire rockets.
Rack em up.

Little kid
And Red Roy Rogers
Whose heart he hid.
The tiny todger

Now looks back.
His shoes won’t fill
The walls that crack
The windowsill.

Behind the memory
Aches the song.
His only father
Could do no wrong.

You've Got Time

Fair?
What's fair?
Without us here
To smirk and glare.

I see you here.
I see you there.
Contended worlds
Of savoir faire.

We plod and trudge,
Nod and judge
Why you're not us.
Our live's a fuss

Of busy nothings
In folded order.
Time's getting shorter
With meanings shallow.

Our hearts are hollow.
They'll blow away.
But yours would stay
Content and self reliant.

Because loneliness
Is a giant,
Free of tangles
And nagging strangles.

Just when we've found
Your inner peace,
You reel the catch,
unhook and release.

What Once Was

5/12/2025

What once was
Isn't now,
Just because.

When we were
Fuzzy, funny.
Still a blur.

How it went.
No longer
What we meant.

Who, they say,
Fallen.
Gone away.

Where we used
To keep lying.
Lies asleep.

The way we used
To go, now runs
Along the main road.

Why I chose that life.
I couldn't cut it
With a knife.

Where we all went
Wrong.
Expecting we could get along.

How the roof came down.
No support
In that lofty town.

What to do now?
Raise our hands
Above our brow.

Why didn't I see before?
Too young to open
The other door.

But i see it now.

Rambling reason
Blinding discourse
Open season
Falling field force

One more time
For good measure
Perhaps discover
Buried treasure

Nothing lost
Something gained
Say it loudly
Speak it plain

Words redundant
Like a chant
Over, backwards
Wail and rant

Hope does fall
On blanket ears
Catching open
Hearted tears

We pray that future
Changes course
The way a river
Carries force

Let's float on
The current's strength
And calmly drift
Ourselves awake.

Peek a boozy

5/8/2025

Peek a boo.
Coochie coo.
We mean no harm.
Don't be alarmed.

Tap Tap, the door.
Knock Knock, under the floor.
Footsteps bump above.
I've had just about enough.

Now, we're in the soup.
In the litter without a scoop.
Everywhere, going round and round.
I hear that beeping, telegraph sound.

Shining lights up through the floor.
Poking knives under the door.
We'll huff and puff and pitter pat.
Raise the fur of scaredy cat.

Time to check under the bed.
Anxious buzzing in my head.
Up the ladder, through the roof.
A teeny, tiny saucer spoof.

Hello, my dear.
Please let me in.
So I can get
Under your skin.

Away with you!
I'll see to that
And squash you,
Like a
 pancake, flat.

​Step right up.
Don't be shy.
Devil may care
Truth or dare.

What a deal
At these prices.
Tuck and roll
Those fuzzy dices.

Bargains, Bargains
Never seen.
Step inside.
Behind the screen.

Nothing ventured.
Nothing gained.
If it breaks down,
Just take the train.

I drive a bargain.
You drive a truck.
My profit margin
Won't leave me stuck.

What next rolls in,
I wouldn't expect.
A ride that makes me
Be direct.

Like it is,
Not what it's not.
Give you the Biz
On my lucky lot.

Here Today

5/4/2025

In the game room
At the club,
Talk that matters
Mad as Hatter.

Conjecture coats
The living dream.
Things not always
As they seem.

Here today
Was thought tomorrow.
Premonition
Superstition.

Tried to warn you.
Let me in.
The future isn't
What it's been.

Look here, old chum,
I must protest.
The past lies back there
And needs its' rest.

Some be changed,
While others can't.
See me rave
And then I'll rant.

Tonight, professor's
Heavy hearted.
Hypothesizing
What time has started.

In Your Shoes

What I wish.
What I want.
Tiger tonic,
Bon vivant.

A jaunty noose
Of woolen hair,
With scissor kicks
And razor stare.

Catchers catch.
Catchers can.
An aberration
Also ran.

Send me coach,
Not first class.
My shadow follows
In the grass.

A new advisor
Side of life
Against the brighter
Steady strife.

Well yes, maybe no.
If we must yes,
Then we should go.
You're a lucky so and so.

What I wish.
Wish I was
Just like you.
Just because

It looks so nice.
Seems so right
To breath easy
And sleep at night.

The Eyes Follow

4/30/2025

If I get up,
Jump!
Open the door,
He hits the floor.

Under foot.
Understands.
Waiting, trembling,
Spring and scrambling.

What's next. 
The front door.
I can't let him loose,
So I scoop up

And squeeze
His warm, little shoulders.
Outside we step.
Necks crane,

Eyes scan the street.
Anxious in our feet.
He fixates on a house
Across the road.

Maybe a mouse,
Maybe a toad.
Stretching towards.
Eyes locked.

Ears loaded.
Over there. Right there.
Wait! Something else
Alarms and strikes.

Bus screeching brakes.
Now, we're a tangle
​
Grip and wrangle.
Clawing towards the door.

Only instincts now
And I know enough
To let go.
Not of love.

The Future's Better In The Past

4/28/2025

The smell of something
In the air.
The silent rumble
Of hope's despair.

What we've done,
We've done it right.
Xray vision,
Satellite.

Ease your mind
And put it where
Wonders grow
Without care.

Your shift is over.
Let's play cards.
Alot can happen
In forty eight hours.

I tried to warn you,
But no one heeds
The old and ugly
Simple deeds.

Waves of sound
And twinkle light.
I wish I may.
I think you might

Find peace of mind
In honor bright.

Think of what
Was meant to last.
The future was better
In the past.

Flash of light,
Brighter still
Upon the exit's
Window sill.
