Cerebral replacing

Cerebral replacing
Emotions once so raw
Like using equations
To sketch, doodle or draw

Organizing my thoughts
Is this wisdom or wise
There's new understanding
Shared with each pair of eyes

This object holds feelings

This object holds feelings
Once a foundation stone
Is now a skipping rock
Sinking after it's thrown

Dining table for one
A balcony of fools
Cannibal suffering
From bulimia rules

Early years, splintered wood

Early years, splintered wood
No opportune to branch
Up from the roots, phoenix
Unbridled horse, no ranch

In helium of air
Success is survival
Wrenches thrown in engines
Will impede arrival

In this mica moment

In this mica moment
Grease splatter of Hubble
In the magnificent
Not a cent of trouble

There was a Cape Cod home
A green roof with shutters
A kitchen radio
A sunroom of clutters

A fellowship of one

A fellowship of one
An albino four leaf
Singularity yet
A knife inside a sheath

Part DNA and part
Invention, built with tools
With emotional cliffs
Dives into unknown pools

At this moment breathing

At this moment breathing
Just as you breathe these words
In these city lights, where
Are all the sleeping birds

Like past generations
Just names, dates and places
Is this touching you or
Expressionless faces

Adieu gray elephants

Adieu gray elephants
Apes and giraffes, goodbye
It is such a zoo here
You cannot keep alive

Tyrannosaurus snake
And Antelopes rex
Clearly these will be the
Newest dinosaurs next

Can we sever the past

Can we sever the past
Only see far ahead
Outgrow our habits and
Layers of ourselves shed

Allow ourselves to change
Weather all the whethers
Find metamorphism
From fish scales to feathers

In the chaos was us

In the chaos was us
Fewer words to discuss
Always making a fuss
When we wouldn't behave

All of it was petty
The swinging machete
Making us confetti
But we refused the shave

So this is the future

So this is the future
That crawled here for so long
Its blossom before us
Celebrating its song

It played a quarter note
And then it aged too fast
It went quickly away
Our memory must last

We all venture forth with

We all venture forth with
A little certainty
A plan, a hope, a dream
A sense of urgency

Still there's always something
Daily emergency
That disturbs the peaceful
Walk in Life purposely

New knowledge is not the

New knowledge is not the
Same as new direction
Can we alter ourselves
New seed propagation

A patchwork of foreign
Thinking and emotions
Adopting a language
And series of motions

The World Trade Centers fell

The World Trade Centers fell
The everyday person
Smoke dissipated but
The tragedy worsened

Years of ripple effect
New generations born
Without any knowledge
Of before it was torn

Always well intentioned

Always well intentioned
Yet missing the mark
Aiming for the stars but
They're just shots in the dark

Not smelling the roses
Checking each i and t
Chasing desires of those
Who can't sleep for the pea

Boxing injustices

Boxing injustices
Empathy and anger
An unfeeling person
Is my only stranger

Living transparencies
Spirits that overflow
Into one another
Except those that say no

Plateaus are elusive

Plateaus are elusive
The extinction of norms
Triangle, circle, square
Are not the present forms

Trails on a precipice
Movements can be fatal
Yet a fall down could be
A return to natal

Not at the beginning

Not at the beginning 

The owl on my shoulder

Still wading in lessons

To learn when I'm older

On a trajectory 

Whisper becoming shout 

Seeking a lullaby

Cymbals and drums drown out

Is this my Both Sides Now

Is this my Both Sides Now

Today my tide is out

Once flooded and thirsty

Now, empty shells about

Beyond introspection

The humanity net

Walking the ocean floor

This time not getting wet

In the denseness of days

In the denseness of days
And short circuiting nights
Finding a perspective
To minimize my plight

Smiling with Down’s Syndrome
Or facing some folly
The impaired crossing streets
Cancels melancholy

Past, present and future

Past, present and future
Photographs, distant parts
Holding hands this moment
Seeking Hope in our hearts

Racing for the tassels, yet
Knowing the eternal
Will bring a dark abyss
To grind down our kernel

Looking for the commas

Looking for the commas
To make sense of the mess
Too much information
Not progress but digress

How to connect the dots
Create constellations
Simplicity of stars
Circumvent frustration

Cutting down the forest

Cutting down the forest
To plant a row of trees
Organizing the wild
Passion just to self-please

Losing the organic
Not letting nature change
The upkeep exhausting
For gardens on the range

Breaking the breakers or

Breaking the breakers or

Gravitational pull 

Releasing the anchor 

And the moon that is full 

Freedom is a frontier 

Uncharted and diverse 

It is abstract and wild 

And not measured in verse
