Like eating dinner
After the hunger is gone
They chuckled and laughed
Until early dawn,
No one knew
And no one cared
What it was
That they both shared.

Today and tomorrow
Too quickly
Slip into yesterday,
The theory
All is now
Slowly overrun
By earthly logic,
No matter
How sweet the equation
To justify the theorist’s
Imagination.

If there is no time
Why do we become
Shells of ourselves,
Why is there a dawn,
A sunset,
If there is no time
Why is the line
Between birth and death
So short,
Why does the cuckoo
Report
Every half and on the hour.

Who knows
What blows in the wind
At night,
Flows through minds
In the dark
When the clouds
Are hiding the moon,
Who knows
What creeps from corners
Peeps over the sill
Licks its lips
Plants nasty deeds
Near the weeds in the garden,
At night
When the clouds
Are hiding the moon.

Who is
Bald Pate Too . com ?
If it’s not
The Seven Keys To Bald Pate,
And if it’s not
The kid who saved the king,
And if it’s not
Your neighbor who’s hair
Has left him,
Who is

Dead in the morning
Alive come the night
Naked in blue water
Romantic, exotic sights,
Daytime dreary hell
Nighttime nearly heaven
Such are the lives
So many are living.

Tin boats
And fools with moats
Around illusionary
Invincibility,
Fishers and kings
Dead numbers and things
Drowning all thought
Of civility.
