Why is it that our stories of the future— Copyright 1965-2008 by Dennis Gallagher —
and our heros (sometimes)
represent a sane future
while we, here, cannot wakeup
and make it so.

Wednesday, February 22nd, 1989Some debts need to be cleared— Copyright 1965-2008 by Dennis Gallagher —
tonight I looked at some poems
that I’d missed in Rose’s poetry compilation
from a few years back.
And I found the first one I ever wrote about her
and the last one that ended and summed us.
And I felt all those years between
when the moonlite crossed Chris’ face in 86.
Now she’s married and pregnant and we’re easy friends
and I want to give her these things
to say ‘thank you, bless you, Rose.’
the best to you, whom I loved so long.

Saturday, February 25th, 1989I understand why you and I work.— Copyright 1965-2008 by Dennis Gallagher —
We both wanted someone with our own level of intelligence
and who would judge us based on our spiritual goals.
That’s where we live.
We could be with someone who judged us on grooming
or business acumen but what good would that be for us?
That you share the same spiritual goals is everything.
The fact that so much else falls into place nicely
is just gravy.
And maybe it means we’re going to get the issue of relationships
worked out this time and free and impower each other
at the same time.
If we, as two people, can get along
then it gives us credibility
if we turn our attention outward.
And, the best part of all this
is that I don’t know any reason why it can’t be so
and it’s what I want.
