the blue whale
we fixed a tracing ring
in the hope of reading data
the haunted click to sing
we followed her in boats
she pitched a role to play
we watched her shoal a stanza
as time zones fell away
she beached in California
a thousand souls did track
in a sea of rhyming couplets
love just brought her back
her enigmatic measure
a pen as gambler's stake
once I thought she smiled at me
as eye did surface break
all currents are concurrent
all hungers grow with sate
all equals carry conscience
all actions carry fate
the new fleets of media
near hunt her to the brink
yet she thrives
where no man dives
a thirst beyond a drink
Since I don't have you...
(sung to the tune of “Since I don't have you” By the Skyliners)
I don't eat happy meals
and I can't eat pizza wheels
I don't have any fun-
since I don't have you
I can't eat fatty foods
like ice cream and burgers too
I gave up snickers too
Since I don't have you
I can't eat onion rings or those things
bad for me
and never will, again.
Once they took you from me,
junk food is history,
mealtime's no fun since then.
Now I can't eat KFC,
and gravy is bad for me.
My meals are bland you see,
and I eat Tofu.

About this poem:
Following the unexpected removal of my gallbladder.
But it was fun while it lasted!
on a train to Cornwall
as thought it flies
to see warmth twice
inside her eyes
reflected in
the glassy pane
two pupils flower
past disdain
a look of summer
dressed in light
a thirst beyond
the drink of sight
some lust for life
and flirt with death
a carraige full
of moving breath
my logic screams
in measure new
though all before
wore beauty too
for even Yeats
or Neruda's verse
would paint her well
but paint her worse
a foggy smudge
her breath it seems
can not distort
the shape of dreams
Can you be?
Is the truth of life to hard to bear? Can you be what you want to be?
Is the way forward easier, for you to see, never looking back, never
being there, being you and taking care, and tomorrow is a new day,
Don't see it different, don't see a way, it's there, it's here, come
what may.

1. Mop bucket
Thats it!
Short and sweet!
To be or not to be, that is the question!
The inherent fear?
The wanting to go on?, keep singing their song?
In the face of adversity, who would you be?
Afraid to die?, afraid to live?,
With nothing to give, could you resist?
To end it all, would you be missed?
Is it brave to live through strife?
Continue on and live that life?
Or leave with grace, this empty place,
Tis a question only you can face.
mountain man
you picked me still
to your North star
I'm the black
trace elements fly
to fill the sky..
you bring the things
I lack
I'm running Lil
I'm running still..
from the law
and from my sound
the man who fell
can lodge in hell
he tried to put me
in the ground
I found the Earth's rhythm
it bonded in my core
I get to trace a human face
each year at the General Store
Answers?
It’s all there plain to see, you’ve been told throughout history,
You recite the words then preach your way, but you never learn
No one has say, and that is how it’s meant to be, when you are
Ready you will see, these words mean nothing, open to ridicule,
Just have an open mind and you will find you’re not subject
To common rule.
