2055. The Survivor

The survivor
Is a man
More alive
Than any
Other
Knowing
How precious
Each second
May be

2054. Thank you, Mr. Water Devil

Reading comments
On this blog
Sometimes
Teaches me
A lesson.
Here's something
I should have
Learned and
Remembered
Way back
In 2008:
Water Devil
Said,
A man
Who
"Disappears"
Was actually
Never there
For you.
(How true!)

2053. Birds in Flight

Birds in flight
Catch the light
Catch my eye
And move my
Attention
While I drive
Perhaps
One day
I will
Join them
In the sky

2052. False G-d

I idolized him
Stupidly
Making
Life harder
For him
And for me

2051. Change a Brain?

What if
I imagine it
A hopeful
Grand
Future
Is it possible
To change
One brain wave
At a time?

2049. Miscalculation

You perceive

Even fear

I might

Cling to you

You miscalculate

I am a runner

You won't 

Even see me

Flee

2048. In Peace

My heart's
At rest
It doesn't
Feel
Your absence

2039.5. The Birth of Indifference: a Gift to Many Women

She gives gives gives gives gives

To you

Fierce husband

And what do you do?

You poke, prod

And criticize

With unloving eyes

Accusations fly

Condemnation, frustration,

Contempt,

Even hatred

Show their signs

A computer monitor

Moved two feet

Sparks his rage

A chair is thrown

The cabinet dented

A stereo whizzes past

Her head

A weighing scale

And all her books

Tumble down

The stairs

Her shoes

Carried to the basement

Have been stuffed

In garbage bags

Why

Should she allow herself

To feel perturbed

Beaten

The result, instead,

Is the inception

Of a new feeling

A longing

To be independent...

Free...

Love's opposing force

Isn't loathing...

It is indifference

With zeroed out

Emotion

Comes clarity

2047. Into the Abyss

When my soul died,
I felt myself slide
Into the thin
Blackness
Of the universe.
With no planet
Or star
To hold me,
One push
From you
Sent me
Hurtling,
Maybe
Forever.

2046. Poet Man

Back slack,
Relaxed
He snaps
His appreciation
For the bard

2045. Bird's Eye

From the sky
Parked cars
Sparkle
Like diamonds
