Beyond understanding

Beyond understanding 

Unheard of can’t be heard 

The fog never lifting

The dismiss as absurd

Pioneering ahead

Rider crop convictions 

Accepting the abstract

Without the descriptions

Owlers stole counting sheep

Owlers stole counting sheep

The night a twisted knot

Without dreams and shut eye

The air a Rorschach blot

Restless legs are rustling

On rungs without climbing

Pennies for my thoughts that

Are nickel and diming

Tragedy averted

Tragedy averted

Plurals are now single

Gone are the welcome mat

And the front door shingle

The world is left outside

The chaos and tedium

The periodic chart

Except for helium

Searching straight ahead but

Searching straight ahead but

I was still there for you

Age is taking us like

Moments no longer new

I am over here and

Will never stray to Fars

Should you be Jupiter

And should myself be Mars

Intersections always

Intersections always

And not just east and west

North and south, up and down

Or answers no’d and yes’d

Choices are endless with 

No directions to lost

Change at any moment 

And not just two lines crossed 

Simple beauty billows

Simple beauty billows

In a cloud or babbles

As a small wooded stream

Or V-shaped formed gaggles

Silent home movies where

People like parade floats

Slowly in time wave like

Gently rocking sailboats

A stranger’s rejection

A stranger’s rejection 

From some unknown bias

Like ageism or self

Righteousness and pious

Little eye contact and 

Few are the words between

Their way of judging I’m 

Not to be heard or seen
