    Snow in the sun
    Blinding and beautiful
    Pick it up and you only have
    Wet hands.
    I wrote a poem on a leaf and it blew away...

    how it snows
    in Julys
    no one really
    knows,
    how it shines
    in the rain
    no one really fares,
    how it warms
    and melt in
    frost
    is beauty
    real in its core.

    it may never try
    but when it does it sigh
    it is just that
    good
    it fly

    The Metaphysics of Dead Meat

    Some say my spirit's brainy meat
    Quite tasty for white worms to eat
    Who'll chew each neuron till it's gone.
    When they're not looking, I'll move on.

    Morning Show

    Walking on the park's damp path,
    Releasing fear, dissolving wrath,
    Those trees stay quiet as I go
    While they as well enjoy the show.

    I was walking down the street
    I saw some children playing there
    Some men were talking about defeat
    And smoke-filled gossip filled the air

    An old woman gave a smile
    Her eyes were heavy but her spirit warm
    I thought she'd save me for a while
    But my sorrow found a different form

    The cars were crowded in a row
    And the noise polluted a peaceful day
    My thoughts were shrouded in shadow
    As I strolled along my usual way

    The heaviness which binds us now
    Comes and goes like moods that pass
    You turn a switch and then somehow
    The old dissolves like aired out gas

    All these things that fade away
    Return again in another coat
    The old bird sings at the break of day
    And takes its time to fill each note.

    My Mental Box

    This mental box is like a coffin.
    It keeps the good stuff out.
    The stuff within will soon go rotten
    If it don't move about.

    Ever since you grew out your hair,
    You seem to get it everywhere.
    On my clothes, and on the chair,
    In my meals, and silverware.

    Prayer

    What he needs is someone kind and generous and wise,
    a girl who will at least attempt to synthesise affection,
    can appreciate him for the skills he has
    and not try to bend him to her will.
    Was such a woman ever born,
    who wouldn't treat her man with scorn?

    Damn you early morning, you've done it again with your alarms and work and pissing people off. Why do you operate this way, world? Nobody likes it.

    In a Japanese restaurant there were talking fish
    A cloud was involved in harmonies
    The trees danced, they did,
    A strange peace hovered

    Zap, had to get up.
    At least 20 minutes to know what day it is.
    Exhausted again, need that dream back, but it's gone.

    It's a strange thing, we all have to do things we dislike,
    Seems like we could change this, but for inertia and the old ways,
    Why, 7 AM isn't really early is it?
    Yes, it is early, you're damn right, it's too early.

    Sunshine

    The good, the bad enjoy the sun.
    It shines its best on anyone
    Who gets a chance and doesn't hide
    While sunny daytime's on one's side.

    The ones you hate, the ones you love
    All get the pure light from above
    And should we whine that it's not fair
    The sun still shines and doesn't care.
