No matter what you say
No matter what you do
It only matters that you care
And one plus one leaves two
Proof beyond the pudding
Truth beyond the facts
Whose promise rises with the dawn
As love keeps coming back
(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2020)
Slimmer Than None
Arguing with the Muse,
spirit abused
Arguing with the Muse,
always refused
Arguing with the Muse,
soul to confuse
Arguing with the Muse
—destined to lose
(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2020)
Till Lightning Splits
Thy self a grand impostor,
what other people see
A bark that hides what fate ingrains,
a cover that deceives
It’s others held opinion,
that pulp you hide behind
Till lightning splits your trunk in two
—the roots left undefined
(Ronald McDonald House: February, 2020)
