We baby boomers,
brought into this world
millennials--
strong, persisting,

:::::
we're~~~~ peaceful streams
....they're radical rivers...
their blood, restlessly stirs

:::::
young, fiery courage
..........pulsates within...
.......racing, cresting
............upon surf's cusp

:::::
...embracing new beliefs
......to the point of
.....defying old school

:::::
.....where boomers turn deaf,
.........................millennials listen...
......cold waters, sometimes
.................... divide...

:::::
......they ought to
.....sit down...talk
...........and compromise,
....................or else.....

(In my home, at times, it's the other way around...
i become the millennial...my kids are the baby  boomers)

insecurity

the insecurity that intersects
your fingers and my figure
is enough to spin a whirlpool
seven miles wide

i rage at your taste for me
but i am cyclical, stuck
i am a fly on your calf
you do not even notice my thrashing

to feel you are ugly in the arms of a lover
to feel you are nothing in the clenches of another
frankly,
i think is quite common.

the ordinary is where you can meet
the extraordinary

and then go on your merry way
as if nothing happened at all

there is a place beyond suffering
suffering itself the gateway

feelings come and go
some a burden

there is a place beyond
and in the centre

all at once everywhere
its called peace

but you will not find it
without seeking

and no technique
or book holds its secret.

its a living fire consuming
without the pain.
