Through the prairies
Up the mountains
And down to the sea,
Who in the hell knows
Where the end will be,
One thing’s for certain
Whether on wheels
Or at sail,
Eventually you body
Your body will fail,
So get at it,
Do what you
Are meant to do,
Get at it.

Like an itch
That won’t go away,
Some situations
Stay,
Defying reason
Until comes
A season
When you realize
The stupidity of it all.

The wild fires
Made it as hot and smoky
As an old sixties bar,
Instead of sultry women
On bar stools
Gals hung out
In the shade
Trying to be cool
In ways they were
Comfortable with.

Is it simply a reflection
Of how easily our collective intelligence
Can be duped into majoring in minor things,
Or are some of us simply stupid,
Perhaps it’s an easy way
To feel warm and fuzzy,
At least we’re doing
Something,
With all of the crazy, nasty
Things going on on the planet,
It’s all okay as we step out of our
SUVS, pickup trucks, climate controlled cars
In our rubber shoes, plastic glasses, fabricated fabrics,
It’s all okay if we can say
With a commanding voice,
No straws.

A barricade
Disguised as a park
Agenda twenty-one
At work in the dark,
You know and I know
Things aren’t as they seem
Most are oblivious
Adrift in the scheme.

Who knows
Which way
The wind blows
When you’re lost
In the dark
Of night,
Who knows
Which way
The mind goes
When there is
No light
In sight.

In that space
Where the sea,
A sailboat,
A woman,
Make time
Stand still,
In that place
Where nature
Defies political
Correctness,
In the face
Of raw passion
Few people
Ever live.
