    mankind, the erring race
    in need of iron punishment

    Um, that was 2-4-6-8-2, correct? Seems to be a slight problem... I'll start with part of it, Tris.

    in need,
    homeless on street
    still cannot stop the dream
    that one day he will make the grade
    hoping...
    Some of us laugh
    Some of us cry
    Some of us smoke
    Some of us lie
    But it's all just the way
    that we cope with our lives...

    hoping
    for untold wealth
    I crossed the dry desert;
    but lost the boundless treasure of
    your smile.
    Voices mysterious far and near,
    Sound of the wind and sound of the sea,
    Are calling and whispering in my ear,
    Whifflingpin! Why stayest thou here?

    your smile
    lights the darkness
    like a rich jewel afire
    in the Ethop’s left ear lobe—
    lovely

    lovely,
    like a newborn
    girl is a gift from you,
    never ceasing to give my heart,
    never
    Life is not a static display. It took change to be where you are today--effect the change to be somewhere else tomorrow.

    Never.
    Briefest of words
    that tell how soon my love
    for you shall fade or pass away.
    Ever.

    ever,
    always exist:
    never pass from life, but
    remain eternal, without end—
    no death
    Some of us laugh
    Some of us cry
    Some of us smoke
    Some of us lie
    But it's all just the way
    that we cope with our lives...

    No death,
    no slow tumble
    into black mystery,
    seasons swallowed by rabid life
    hungry.
    and somehow a dog
    has taken itself & its tail considerably away
    into the mountains or sea or sky, leaving
    behind: me, wag.

    Hungry
    for new knowledge
    we throw haiku about,
    that ancient wisdom may emerge.
    Some hope.

    some hope
    light rain will sink
    with gentle diligence,
    to bathe fragile roots in liquid
    delight

    delight
    laughter resounds
    merry giggles come floating from
    the front porch swing where lovers sit
    so close
    Some of us laugh
    Some of us cry
    Some of us smoke
    Some of us lie
    But it's all just the way
    that we cope with our lives...

    So close
    their tentacles
    entwined, their suckers stuck
    together; just two jellyfish
    mating.
    Voices mysterious far and near,
    Sound of the wind and sound of the sea,
    Are calling and whispering in my ear,
    Whifflingpin! Why stayest thou here?

    mating—
    forming new life—
    the male joins with female,
    mystery of life’s secrets—
    pass on…

    Some of us cry
    Some of us smoke

    pass on
    the other side.
    Do not see the bodies
    half-hidden by blankets of flies.
    At peace.

    at peace
    tranquility
    drifting on clouds of down flake
    a dandelion seed adrift in air—
    floating

    Some of us laugh
    Some of us cry
    Some of us smoke
    Some of us lie
    But it's all just the way
    that we cope with our lives...
