He was ready to live again
Even if living just meant running
To keep ahead of the ghosts.
Even if living just meant running
To keep ahead of the ghosts.

It’s so still and calm
In the mosque,
You could hear a fly expire.
In the mosque,
You could hear a fly expire.

Stealth
You think one
thing,
Say another,
And do a third.
___________________________
A roiling thunderstorm clears the air
Like Wyatt Earp's peacekeeper

When you strip away the stage flats, makeup, and costumes,
It’s all one story starring our private heroes and dreams.

The Marriage
Two tattered mannequins
Prop each other up
In the Salvation Army Store window
Prop each other up
In the Salvation Army Store window

Tragedy
Take the worst that could happen
And add two zeros.
And add two zeros.
___________________________
High fidelity clouds gather over
The tattered stage flats of a world on fire.
The tattered stage flats of a world on fire.

It's Getting Crowded
We cover the earth with Venn Diagrams
As our steps bisect old steps.

Weather Report
Life is a raindrop
Sizzling as it skitters
Across the universal griddle.
Sizzling as it skitters
Across the universal griddle.
___________________________
Waiting
There is no tomorrow
until we get through
the day after yesterday
