ZEN AND THE ART OF OPPORTUNITY

Yesterday I resisted you
Tomorrow gone mute you fly away
...

A FEW DAYS CAN MAKE A SHORT WICK

I just wanted you to know
How much I've enjoyed our time together
...

ONE HALLUCINATION UNDER GOD

Sometimes the healing process and the aging process
Will not mix well together
...

ASSISTED LOVING

She had accommodated to these corridors
In this home that was not her home
...

LES DEMOISELLES D'AVIGNON

As an accident looking for a place to happen
As a comet visible only to dogs
...

THE OXYMORONS WALK AMONG US

Just because we hear music
Doesn't mean we have rhythm
...

PSALM OF THESE DAYS

Before breakfast birds
Between grain of mouth
...

AN OLD YIN AND YANG SONNET

For every Isaac there is an Ishmael
All the wheels go round and round
...
