I have lived forever it seems to me.
70 plus years and I've seen it all.
Throughout my life there's always
a dog in the road no matter what.
I think it might be God watching
over us. He's always a mongrel.
I saw Him run over by a car and
He was dead. 3 days later alive.

The Irishman's Grave

He had to flee his Ireland.
The God ****** British
stole his life and land.
He floated to America.
John Donovan from Cork
was my great grandpa.
Stubborn as a mule and
strong as an ox he lived.
There's a deep dark hole
we Irishmen bury anger.
God help you if you ever
find yourself in our hell!

we like
drips, from one o'them old timey
faucets, got string fo' a gasket,
sometime, ye rewind, t'stop
drips.

Art f'arts aches fer ever. Ow ow ow
we know we know
now, it's intuition,

womb knowns, cultured, nurtured.
Past Pavlov, past post Xanax Peterson

we meet on this line, we know what I mean
in a word, depth of being from the beginning,

a concept inconceivable, at the time,
now, then, when the book of life
was immaterial, nothing had lived.

MMmmms mmmsnems eeeee that is
the surge, the urge to emerge
and wink.

What do you think? Is sense made
or felt existing as I learn to sense it?

One thing in reality.
What are the odds of you occuring?

Slim to none, is a stretch teleo, wanna bet?
See a point. Whence once begun,
some rivers never ceased to flow,
slow as ice, oh, so cold, stories freeze,
like a sneeze, outside,
in the wind, send
a prayer, say
bless you.

Why?
Blessings, when you learn what blessings are,
you come back and pick these up,
you make alotta money, and nobody worries
we stole it, see,
we made it all up. This is what money is,
attention to details in time, in a mind bigger
than mine.

I know you're there some nights
  seen you come and go smiling as
  you pass by perfume teasing me
  haunting my heart with never.
  So many bar lovers came before
  tasting feminine wiles forever.

You took the goose
I was left with bumps
All hell broke loose
During those slumps

My Dear Poet
Oopsie daisy
I get a little clumsy
when it comes to love
it gets a little crazy
I slip and trip
I flip and stall
I blunder the kiss
and stutter and all
but if all you ever
utter is this
“I love YOU”
just hold me please

…before I fall
