Nobody important
Probably a good thing
My life is very boring
Frodo, destroy the Ring!

I do love music
I wish that I could sing
Nobody important
Rama Lama ding **** ding!

Honeymoon in Rome
I was at Angkor Wat
Very far from home

My sons are sleeping right now
They have been to Milan
I have been to Stockholm
Scifi Gamla Stan

Said Giordano Bruno

If Joe is 56
And his girlfriend is 21
How much money does Joe have?

Birthday party today

Small talk and a sigh

I'm a troubled soul
I hope I rest in peace
Majored in philosophy
Mind of Ancient Greece

California Coast
Tidal pools in Monterrey
My sons still so young!
More than words can say

I like the rain in Seattle
Grey and green and blue
Me reading alone
Library at Seattle U.

Me reading alone
I seek but do not find
Kells in Seattle
In Bangkok Buddhamind

           Farewell and be kind.

Watch my sons grow older
Watch my sons with pride
Ireland was misty grey
Quaint was Malahide

I've seen the Asian rains
Buddhism inside
Rode the bullet trains
George W. Lied

         Cannot be denied.

Marriage: the miserific vision.
        But gratitude for the children!

Not a saint
Sinful proclivities
Ms. Susan Meek

Hidey hidey high

Big blue sky

Injection again.
   Fatherhood
         Slowly.

There's not gonna be any closure
There's just gonna be the end
           Pregnant silences?

                       Pretend.

I keep on, keep on writing
Not really, not really sure why
Ordinary dailiness
Exoplanet sky

Feel like giving up
But I still, I still try
Ordinary dailiness
Boredinary guy

Weak resistance
    Desperation

Troubling proclivities
Depression through my days
Psychiatric medicine
This life is a Maze

In gratitude for my boys
Keep them forward led
Keep them keep them keep them
Long after I am dead

              Courage in the Dread.

The religious conservatives are haters
Gay people, Muslims, modernity
Time tick tocks
I take care of my son

Falling
Falling
Falling
Pero un pequito fun

Ireland was music in the pubs
Bus ride through town
Trinity College, Dublin
O the cap and gown!

Misty grey the sky
Grateful for my time
Quaint was Malahide
With my sons now I'm ...

There is no life after death
I drift toward the end
The silence is eternal
Silence be my friend

                   Amen.

Dr. Thomas my favorite teacher
Under a Southern sky

When you retire, I once asked
Will you contemplate the cosmic Why?

I'll tell you truly, Todd, he said
Truly, I will not lie

I plan to reread all of Karl Barth
And listen to Mozart every day until I die.

Poems in the Night
     the little way
          xie xie

I write because I ...
And I ...
So I ...

                     Ole!

Life is suffering
Suffering is caused by desire
Kamakura snow
Corpse to the Fire
Ashes to the sea
In Dublin meant to be
Exoplanetly
Higher. Higher. Higher!

Every moment is the guru
Try to learn from life
My marriage is disaster
Endlessly wifestrife

Susan Darlene Meek
Ah! What might have been
Denver, Colorado
San Francisco Zen

                  And then

no one important
doomed to die
         sigh...

              distress signals

I've been to Toledo, Ohio
Never been to Toledo, Spain
I've been mentally ill
Purple Rain! Purple Rain!

Friendship has been difficult
Brings a lot of pain
I hope I die at twilight
Midnight blue again ...

Stars above aglow
Keep him, dailiness
