the isolation is ...
I lay on the couch
time tick tocks
times tick ouch

beautiful snow today
french onion soup
a little creme brulee
alley oop oop oop oop oop

Kierkegaard in Copenhagen
       Thy will be done
        That single one

One person attended Leibniz's funeral.

One.

I have a former athlete's body
But still I am quite sick

Inevitable decline
Tick tock tick tock tick

I admit that I'm amazed
By amazing Moby ****

Yes, I still have fantasies
She I would like to lick

But I'm all on my own
Burns the candle wick

                 1

Lonely as the rain
  In my solitude
     she's gone

I'm not really a moralist
But I do love The Batman
Vigilance is inspiring
One man in the Night

I've been to Hong Kong
My old roommate lives there
Boat on New Year's Eve
2009

Read City of Ember
Carl Hiaasen's Flush
Lois Lowry's The Giver
Zachary Quinto. Chris Pine.

I don't understand women
They don't understand me
Rowan Tree

        Moonlight in the Pine

                         Ein.

Something clearly created the world
If you want, we can call that God

But it ain't only Good
It's Beyond good and evil Odd

I can't find what I'm looking for
                Lay in bed
                   Lonely

Basketball is happiness
I can finally feel at ease

And bring back lost chilhood
Even in times like these

Magic and Larry Legend
Michael and Kareem

I admit, I admit
I'd like to hear her scream

I desperately hope she sees
I really am on her team

According to Father Tracy
God is Love before He exists
Love like lemonade
The Pope like pretzel twists

I think I'm gonna call her
But I don't know when
Cool Grey City of Love
San Francisco Zen

                 10

I've been writing for about 10 years
What have I discovered?
The poetry of place
I still miss my mother

Struggling daily life
A break from inner pain
A woman not my wife
Salamanca, Spain

         Downbound Train.

I love 10,000 Maniacs
I'm a maniac myself

The Night I hear a-calling
Moby **** upon my shelf

Center for teaching and learning
Will Ferrell played the Elf

Christmas not only December
Money not only wealth

                 Letters.

Wilt Chamberlain told ******* magazine
That he estimated he had *** with
20,000 women over his lifetime.
(He preferred threesomes)

The interviewer from *******
Was in awe of his ****** prowess.

But he then added:

I'm here to tell you fellas
I would have rather had ***
With 1 woman 1000 times
Than with 1000 women 1 time.

It’s not brilliant
but it’s mine

I too seek
divine design

Asbury Park
friendly find

She’s the One
in my mind.

                             Hey, hey, hey
                              Cristo Rey!

In this world, shipmates,
God is a failure
'Buked, rejected, scorned

If 1000 years pass
Still She is not mourned

But a day yet may come
Starshine in Her eyes

They will have the Lies
But She will have Surprise.

The garden of 1000 sighs
           fearless sleep
                   hope

Sleep away the guilt
Sleep away the pain
Lay in bed and lonely
Try not to go insane

Grey day sky is sadness
Cuts against the grain
Books at times bring gladness
Bangkok in my brain

               Yesterday's Rain

Palindromic gnomic.

Quiet.
Driving soon.
Sleep.

I have wished for recognition
Feared it just as much
More than recognition
I'd like her human touch

About to get a car
Travel plans return
I might go to Istanbul
Upon a Grecian urn

Or maybe San Francisco
Drink myself some tea
Not a coincidence
Man said meant to be

See my sons again
Quietly my three
Years keep rolling by
Solitarily

They say to let the dead go
But of course I can't
To me she was my mother
To them she was their aunt

This life of ours is meaningless
But at least we have fruit punch
The students at my school
100 percent free lunch

I might be a case study
But they'll never really know
Twilight blue and turning
Seattle cedarsnow

        Hidden in  Zero

Women are more interesting
They really truly are
The shapeliness, the flowing hair
The voice, the falling star

Solitude is peaceful
No arguments. No fights.
But also no perfume
No kisses. No candlelight.

Parenthood is wonderful
Thursday I see my sons
Video games and basketball
Before the Day is Done

          Philosophy 101

Unde Malum?
Yo no se. And I never will.

Don't like David Brooks.
Don't like George F. Will.

Did like Taipei 101
Still do like it still

If she calls and says, Please come
You know I surely will.

Am I just gonna fade away
Slow like the setting sun?

Or is there something to do
To do Thy will be done?

Carolina blue
Basketball is fun

Ever ancient, Ever new
I wait. I watch. 101.

The little way is greatness
Attention, quiet, waiting
Kairotic moment comes
Songs in the night

The little way is hidden
Overlooked and scorned
Khaohsiung in the kindness
But ready for the fight

                 101.
                light

swimming with my sons
            Taipei, Taiwan quite fun
                         yesterday now done...

Things forbidden
Often become obsessions

Hence to her
My soul confessions

I need help
I have aggressions

Listening lonesome
Taking lessons

American commandos in Taiwan
Preparing for the fight
Hope it does not happen
But democracy just might

Transform ancient China
I watch the Buddha light
Ordinary people
Confucian the insight

                   101!

Dry lightning in the distance
             Uber home
                  Alone

The Absurd at 10:13
This life makes no sense

Solitude for 1
Makes no difference

Roses bloom on Franklin Street
Tulips in Virginia

I walk alone, Twilight Zone
The music is within ya

Ravens in Winter
Owls in starlight
        flight

A little bit more
Can I stop?
Just watch my boys grow up

52
Probably 2/3 done
I miss that Quayzar pup

Quietness
Traveling
Phone calls yearning night

Shunyata
Seattle snow
Chicago may just might

           Taipei true twilight

the doomed human race
we vanish without a trace

            shunyata

Post office in my little town
I take it as a sign
Ms. Dee Ann Reeder
I wait. Yes, I wait.

Legolas
The fighting knives
Oxford. Inklings.
I do not hesitate

He said he's 37
We might play some ball
I drive in Mary's land
Destiny, not fate

Facebook has been fun
Surely She's the one
Three young sons y
Wendy. Susan. Cate.

         not too late

Evening Door Dash
      Sweet Tooth

Shadows on the wall

Temperature 72
Pythagoras, pray for us
Reno rendezvous

Tomorrow I'm back at it
In la oficina
Loneliness I guess
Can you see what I meana?

Siena, Italy
Beautiful cathedral
Seattle twilight sky
All lit up Space Needle

My life does not matter
But it matters to live to me
Keep her from the Abyss
Protection for my 3

                    Merci

10:37
To see my sons
My only heaven

American buy and sell
To me like hell

Tonight no real friends
Please O life!
Courage to the end.

Laying long in bed
Regretting my mistakes
A series of unfortunate events
Lady of the Lakes

No desire for Chicago
Desire for Vienna
Wish for Istanbul
Remembering Siena

English breakfast tea
Scrambled eggs and toast
Vegetarian sausage
She's the One I love the most

A bit of a boomer joke
So says my middle son
Afraid of annihilation
Courage when it comes

           Midnight Sun

sleeping late, white light room
      myths from dreams from lotus bloom?
                   incense, intense her perfume ...


                                 who looms?

Pattern Recognition.

10:37 a.m.
No great plans

Reading about angels
Star Trek is the Man!

I wish for other worlds
But live my boring story

No grandiosity
No greatness. No glory.

But maybe, just maybe
A small and subtle gift

Yes, she heard my words
Will time prove to lift?

Pythagoras believed in transmigration
It seems unlikely, doesn't it?

Science removes many mysteries
But others then appear

I have some number obsessions
I like math

Into the Spiderverse
By the basketball court: quiet gentle deer.

On that day
God will wipe away all tears
Including Her own

Said Fr. Andrew Greeley
(of blessed memory)

The dreams are like mind humming
Pleasure they do give

The weaknees makes me worry
Can life and time forgive?

Endurance without women
1 the loneliest number

Art is a vocation
Florida full for thunder

When will I go under?

Awake, it's 1:05
Can't sleep so I write

Buddhamind in Bangkok
Vegetarian delight

Raindrops on the pool
Rainfall in the night

I wonder as I wander
Am I Asian more than white?

The right wingers are all racists
The fear of the Other
In my solitude
Hopes and fears for my brothers

I was in Helsinki once
White Cathedral, purple sky
The Boxer in Charleston
Walking Lai la Lai!

Not a lot of hope at times
Fatherhood is joy
Women from my past
Memories? Nitnoy.

Try to do my best
Worried for my nation
Prayers for Taiwan
Bipolar elevation

          The Eagle!
