Keep ready
on your way
to listen to the universe sway,
this way
then that.

Looking At Your Feet

In amazement
That your body
Terminates in a splash
of flesh at the end of your leg.

I Used To Consider Bars

Spaces for old mustachioed men to go and get sad.

I couldn't resist the sight.

Now

My skin is sagging noticeably under my chin

And my upper lip itches of bourbon.

A Facebook Post

Is the world of reality a drag?

- No it's not; you're just buying too much into the collective-least-common-denominator Reality of money, myopia, and pride.

What Did the Watch Say to the Capitalist?

 

Now is not the time to take time

Now is the time to time time.

You can make time to take time -

But there is no time to make time to take time now.

A Few Minor Notes From An Old Journal

To find yourself in love 

With the sun 

Is a solid-life choice.

Some folks talk so much that they pass the feelings they are referring to.

Today,
I made a point of wiping my ass
With my left hand. 

For the first time
In my life...

Some folks talk so much that they pass.

The vault of the sky.

A constant reminder.

There is.

Up.

Some folks talk so much.

Love Advice From Different Body Parts

Let lax the fists in your chest.

Unbraid your belly.

That insufferable lack of respite!

Unfurl the furlier parts of your leg and neck, then begin.

That foot ain't gonna rub its own worries out!

Listen. You oughtta eat a sandwich daily.

Go home every time you move.

Wish for love on every eyelash.

Drink every soul that shines like that.
