Life
Like sailing
Is never perfected,
A gust, a rip, a rogue,
Has you on your knees
Wondering whether
It’s heaven or hell
You’re peering
Into.

Climb up
In the trees
Fall down
On your knees
Sing with the bees
And
Dance with the leaves,
The waves so high
The bottom so low
Where does the wind
Eventually go
And

I know that I
Will not forget
The tie
That I once knew,
And you,
You will know
When you’ve been
Scorched
By the spark
That cracks the
Universe
Rarely, if ever
In one’s lifetime.

The poet
You know it
Fell in love
With the sea
And found a way
To live and be free,
If this is something
You’d like to do
Drop by for a visit
At Bald Pate Too.

So this gal
Comes into the shop
And when she leaves
The sugar bowl is gone,
You say what the hell!
Upon reflection you realize,
Some people rob banks,
Some steal sugar bowls,
And some in three-piece suits
Screw you out of the commission
On a million and s half dollar yacht sale,
There’s assholes at all levels.

I read that the center of the earth
Is four billion years younger
Than the rest of it,
Hmmm …
I read that the universe
May be a hologram,
Hmmm …
So I wrote some lines
And thought about you
Or was it just an illusion,
But then the infusion
Of perfume and the smell
Of your hair
Dancing into the confusion,
Left me totally distracted.

It’s not an easy thing
Sitting back contemplating
The possibilities,,
What with rising temperatures
With rising seas,
Where would you place
Millions of displaced people?
Would it create
Multiple Middle Easts?
Is that why for many
It’s pass the peas
And straight denial?
Hell, if it were real
Would governments be issuing
Building permits at sea level,
Would they be pounding
Sand into the oceans
Creating islands and runways?
Pass the potatoes
And forget that changing
Nonsense,
Get on with living.
