It was near that time
Of snow near March,
I remembered the time
The time we watched,
The new moon full
In the sign of Pisces,
Wrote of love
Of love a thesis,
With finger tips
Upon bare skin.

The end of day comes,
You brush your
Teeth
And do whatever
You do in
Your pre-bed
Ritual,
Your head
Hits the pillow
And you leave
Until morning
When you do it all
Over again.

It’s a crazy time,
Everything skewed
And screwed,
Almost a chicken little time
Without a falling sky,
One might say
It’s the Russians
Or maybe Trump
But that would be
Dumping the stupidity
Of man off of the shoulders
Where it belongs.

Songwriters
Of a different kind
Playing organs
To blow the mind,
Each echo
Each sound
A building crescendo
Until off the ground,
Songwriters
Of a different kind
Pumping organs
Until nearly blind.

Are you still writing?
Yes.
But he didn’t tell her
That he was writing,
Writing
On the back of
His eyes,
Writing
Inside of his head,
Writing about things
That most people weren’t
Ready for.

Hey
UC Berkeley,
How far left do you go
Before you become a fascist ?
Hey
Don Lemon & CNN,
What does Australia do
With refugees ?
Hey
Democrats,
How long do you
Play in a sandbox
Before you get sand
In your underwear ?
