Peace floats in my soul
like slow liquid notes.
Encompassed in a universe
that gives answers
to those who seek,
I am the circle, complete,
once more.

Brother Unknown
My brother Elmer is such an enigma;
he says things which I'd call unreasonable
for anyone else and I'm swayed.
If its intelligence, its not my kind....
If its leadership or charisma, its impressive.
And if its my misconception, its durable.
All in all I can't think of anyone
I'd rather drop acid with
than my brother.

Off Key
cat't seem to
just can't quite seem to
get it together today.
bodies fill my eyes
where spirits used to shine.
somehow personalities
have given way
to the shape of behinds.
cycles of Karma and Grace
spin in and out of my thoughts
but never seem to connect to now.
'focus' and 'cope' are words
i don't understand, even as i recall them.
as best as i can remember
coping at a time like this
just involves waiting it out
which doesn't help a bit.
i think i'll go make love to Rose
and shut the computer off awhile
and i'll drift until the dust settles
and i can see what wheel
i'm on the down stroke of...
the down stroke of....
