Some Are Gone, Others Are Home

My Voice on this Subject and Does It Matter

Do you make these lists?

I don't know if it's helpful

There are a lot of counter-intuitives out there

And words keep squishing along

Not saving anyone
Not fixing anything
Not helping it out long term

Until it does all those things

I'd be better off with things this morning

Things as far as the eye can see

My eyes, I mean

Out the train window

More Fluids

Always more fluids

Flattened tongues vs. distended bellies

Deep peering into murky pasts

Silent staircases and darkened corners

A bookshelf, a floor lamp, a searchlight on the prow of a motorboat

A certain blue, a certain green, a certain orange-ish brown

White text on a black background and then soon, everything

Taste test after taste test

Everything on fire

Some of March and Heartbeats

The swell
The roughest things

An ancient burial people with so many words for burying

That battlefield that's now a strip mall

Giant everything

The clear sound of a bell which bell

Picture after picture after picture

Transparencies as in projections but on a shelf and waiting to be projected

Another tone when it is time

All The Things (That Have Been on My Mind Lately)

How much time, floods, foregrounds and forever, subjects, objects, goals, goal-line stands

I know very little about photography

The way future -- that's been on my mind a lot

There's this way a voice can cut right through you or a moment or something you see

And I've been trying to stick right in that moment

Maybe a little too much vs. maybe that's my job vs. maybe that's just what I'm supposed to be here

I've never understood how sugar in coffee could taste good, but I remember a great cup of coffee with maple syrup in it and milk before I knew I shouldn't drink that

And this guy that was into all this international lit before I got that

You know, cool and worldly and conversant in Milan Kundera and Amos Oz and the Singing Detective

And I have this story about his girlfriend

They probably all moved to New York or Amsterdam or went into the Peace Corps

What made me remember that?

So many people come and go and some of them are just gone

One more plan until I'm home

Some People Really Like Cake

I'm not gonna lie
I miss ice cream

Then there's cookies and candy and honey

Here we go, here we go, here we go

There are winners
That's one way of looking at things

There are no winners
There are no right ways to go about it other than just going

Something and then cake and then something else

Make a go of it

The thing about a landscape painting -- take it all in

A funny hat -- put it on

Oh no, oh no, oh no

I can't be trusted to work it all out

When You Look Inside the Ground

Pluto and its moon

Ice over everything

Your kinda ice, their kinda ice

A real long pause

Comfort vs. less so

Less and less and less and less

Never goes negative

And then there is more

You know your way around more

And then there is dinner

Gotta Gotta Gotta Gotta Get Get Get Get

All the things you mean

All the fingers and all the dams

Heaven for humpday

And hail for heretics

There are theories and stories and frameworks and terms

Mean it

There are days that call for a little extra snuggling

And then cats on the bed

And the way you could see the whole moon even though the bright part was just a sliver of a smile

It goes around but we do, too

The ocean swells up to say hello

The ocean dips to say nothing to see here

The ocean rushes and courses and cycles and squalls

You do it with your eyes

The Latest, Beta Blockers, Altitude

A mind is a terrible thing to make up like all the things make up means

You see a young kid walking with their mom at 4:30am and it's still dark out and cold and the kid's all bundled up and you feel all kinds of things and then think all kinds of things

This happens in West Baltimore and I don't doubt a lot of places

I've always loved that I'm a morning person

I've been blessed with so many cheat codes

Another chance to not be afraid

Don't be afraid don't be afraid don't be afraid

Comfort is relative

Bowling ball vs. bed springs

Motion vs. other motion

Who has time for things like a smattering of whatever?

Look at all that ice: We are alive

(aloft, along, elongate, crush, crush, crush, crush, goose)

Windy af coming in though

There's Only One Salmon on Blue

The same and we all share it

There is only one light, and it shows up everywhere

There is only one planet and one star and one plane and one air

There is one salt and we share it

There is a kingdom with a tower and a door

There is a road with a stripe and a wide berth

There is only one beginning and we

In Light of So Many Things to Come

Forge Forget

Fancy
Flowered

Forced march
Garish grim granted

Wherever you will have it
Whenever whatever is eaten

Everything falls off a cliff in a story about things falling off cliffs

A secret society of stenographers

Stutter stutter stutter
Sputtering engines especially when you need them

Never night time

Twice twinkling, twice mine

They are all fairytales, each and everyone
