Sometimes…
our greatest pleasure
is the absence of pain
As often…
the best thing that can happen
—is nothing at all
(Dreamsleep Pennsylvania: September, 2019)
Lost Horizon
In her clouds of mystery,
souls recalled
Where voices cry out
—from Shangri La
(Dreamsleep: September, 2019)
The Pot & The Kettle
Democrats run on problems
they contrive
Republicans run on problems
they deny
One as bad as the other,
together much worse
As the status quo suffers
—awaiting the hearse
(Villanova Pennsylvania: September, 2019)
