I ride the synchronicities
They strangely come and go
Rest from the anxieties
Staunton aglow in snow

Walk the way of dailiness
Movies, music, books
Buddhamind in Bangkok
Q and I tuk tuks

Scholem's astral body
Kabbalists in Spain
Sandor Marai in Budapest
Stephen King in Maine

Me in Mary's land
But lookin' way down south
My hands upon her hair
My words within her mouth

            Dixie Chicks!

Hope is given only for the hopeless
Benjamin in Spain
Scholem in Jerusalem
Winslow Homer in Prouts Neck, Maine

Elpis was a curse
Pero, yo espero in the night
I reach out to Alex
Like Sor Juana - mystic flight

Exoplanets spin
Extrasolar water
Tried to show her truths
Tried to truly taught her

Fatherhood is quiet
A little basketball
Please courage unto the end
All Walls Fall

              El Salvador!

Wolfgang Pauli knew 137
And so, at times, do I

He even strangely knew it
Just before he did die

No, I am not Jewish
But I have read Gershom Scholem

These cabalistic coincidences
Could this be why I know 'em?

The Cloud it is Unkowing
It can rain on your parade

And when the Light is showing
It also always casts some shade

I went to a wedding in Tel Aviv
And also in Tokyo too

I wasn't sure, but now I know
David Markson indeed a Jew

(This Is Not a Novel
Read it through and through!)

Restoration of Hope
Hope: the thing with feathers

Best time I ever had
Time we were together

Reading long ago
Brilliant Gershom Scholem

Listening right now
To Dylan rock 'n roll 'em

Courage please, O courage
What is my vocation?

I listen in the dawn
I pray strength, my troubled nation

Some labor in obscurity
Speechless seeking trail
Some know the woeful way
Hospitals and jail

Sometimes I play basketball
Some days I just lay in bed
A couple times I played my cards
Where Angels fear to tread

80s music makes me happy
The Eagle 106.9
Hearing Gershom Scholem
Nearing the divine

Deeper than Ishmael can go
The darkness feeds our fears
53, Baltic Sea
I wonder how many years?

          Do it with laughter
          Do it with tears

                She hears?

I like to hear Scholem talk
Accent of the German Jew
Major trends, Kabbalistic friends
3772

I'm ambivalent on universities
Not near one now
Timor Mortis Conturbat Me
Bodhisattva vow

Drawn to wisdom literature
Drawn to political fights
3 young sons
2 green lights

Sick and suffering, they said
Sick and suffering is true
SauRon Desantis
La Florida in view

                 et tu?

10 years of my youngest son
Gratitude and thanks
Arthur, King of the Britons
Charlemagne, King of the Franks

I'm really so very boring
But I'd like to hold her close
Speak sacred things
Humble, no need to boast

Restore my faith in women
Restore love for myself
Kiss her 72 times
Scholem on my shelf

Santa Rosa sunlight
Santa Rosa rain
Charlotte, sharing, Chicago
Kyoto bullet train

              good insane

85, 86, 87
I want my MTV
All just in my head
Analogically

Can a sinner also be good?
Please protect my 3
Foreign neighborhoods
Some of them by the sea

I like Gershom Scholem
I like Billy Joel
I like Billy Crystal
Midnight's broken toll

Women are the Mystery
I could never guess
Boredom is alright
Black and grey her dress

                 Tess

Sometimes myself as extraordinary
Sometimes boring boring blah
Gershom Scholem in Jerusalem
72 names in the Kabbalah

I was once in Jerusalem
Delicious Lebanese bread
80s videos in our hotel
Towards 17 being led

Also 2037
Maybe 3744
Wendy Doniger's Shiva
Gonna read that one in Baltimore

      ****** Ascetic. Lake Linganore.

I've got a monk in me
Solitary way
Also got an atheist
Silently I pray

It didn't work out with women
I like the Grand Chartreuse
Snow in the mountains
Hound dog on the loose

Tokyo to Kyoto
Silent shunyata
Mr. Gershom Scholem
Curious Kabbalah

Souped up 72
Still see 37
Motorcycle taxis
Bangkok tonight, Kevin
