Fish out of Water
Where you find out when
The sea is only so
Deep as the air
You breathe in.

In the Long Run
It makes no difference where
You were going when you were
Turning left or right
Or going straight ahead—
Something tells me
That was where
You were going when
You had no choice but to go
Short of stopping dead in your tracks,
Which makes all the difference,
Should one wish to know.

Aeolian
of fig leaves under
limbs swept bare—
a rotting
bed the fickle
wind left
there.

Clockwork Universe
He’d sit before the expansive
Bay window and take in
The sun rising and setting
Without fathoming why
It never failed to move him
While the sea—in an unceasing
Undulating pendulum rhythm—
Rose and fell, as if breathing.

Alms
“I have come to debase the coinage.”
—Diogenes of Sinope
Nobody
At the crossroad, you know the score—
What’s about to happen has happened before
So many times nobody gives
A plugged nickel anymore.

To a Mind Long Gone
—for Duncan Jones and Tom Clark, two who appreciate
the sound different drummers make.
Be not mistaken—
It’s not the song
That’s gone wrong;
It’s the gong going
Off in your head
That’s right on.

On the Dark Side
Saw the whole lunatic
Moon in half,
Wondering where
The other half fell.
