"When Tuesdays Are Saturday"
Sometimes it locks in place
Like a pod taken you to space
2am headlights turning on now
Mountain fire too high to drown
Cold and wet keep moving on
'Til the breaking light of dawn
And for a Tuesday night
It sure feels like a Saturday
And for a Tuesday night
It sure feels like a Saturday
And for a Tuesday night
It sure feels like a Saturday 😎🌹
This river could swallow our whole crew
Better build ourselves a good canoe
Gotta get out sometime and head west
Yet not quite influenced it's really best
Looking to cash in on a promise made
Keep moving along so we all get paid
And for a Tuesday night
It sure feels like a Saturday 😎🌹
And for a Tuesday night
It sure feels like a Saturday 😎🌹
And for a Tuesday night
It sure feels like a Saturday 😎🌹

Escape Velocity _ new 2021 poem
Inspired poem while reading @michiokaku's The God Equation. Saturday & Sunday I voraciously read up to page 122. It's a great read at a good time. It's not only physics but also a form of sociological insight. @Morning_Joe @MSNBC @nytimes @NewYorker @latimes @WIRED @physorg_com

March 2019 (the last of Parker Bean the best Lhasa Apso ever)
This time of year
Beginning March
Snow reflecting a muted sun
On wintertime's hard ground
Earth frozen and spinning
Tilting for spring to start
This time of year has a sound
A morning song chirping along
Everything alive is stirring
Insides churning and yearning
Here comes flowers bursting through
As the cabin door lets in early sunlight
It smells like melting snow and pine
Decayed leaves and nor'easter winds
Coffee shrugging off the veil of night

Here I Stand _ new poem January 2021
Again I'm waiting for spring so I can see
Pink & white blossoms on apple trees
Standing in the pouring rain
Down over my back feeling no pain
It's not God who put fear in you
I fought something to help us thru
Can't you imagine what's in their head
Dreaming they're talking with the dead
When I'm beside you I don't want to say goodbye
That's not in the plan
So here I am - hello
An average man - I know
Here I stand

Nashville Tennessee _ new December poem 2019
I used to believe in justice
And how things outta be
Then I saw a person hanging from a tree
I couldn’t believe they called this place free
That’s when I moved to Nashville Tennessee
You’re grown enough to know what’s wrong
Feel the existential truth in this here song
It’s a coming around the bend
It’s your destiny - just hit send
Like a stormy day when the sun comes out
Listening to music that makes you shout
There isn’t time for you to be fuss’n about
Pack your things & tune your strings to the city
There ain’t a place like Nashville Tennessee
Black, brown, red, yellow, white you may be
There ain’t a better city to be feeling free
You’re grown enough to know what’s wrong
Feel the existential truth in this here song
It’s a coming around the bend
It’s your destiny - just hit send
Like a stormy day when the sun comes out
Listening to music that makes you shout
Come play with me in Nashville Tennessee

My Parker Bean _ poem
My Parker Bean
I have memories of you
And I have pictures too
I haven’t pulled out all the old video
I wouldn’t be able to get up and go
And I know I’d go down a rabbit hole
So I am grateful you’re in my dreams
You’re proof life is better than it seems

"Starlight" _ new poetry for Labor Day Weekend 2019
“Starlight”
That’s an impressive file
It reads like a vowel
I vowel to love you.
I vowel to love the Earth.
I know what it’s worth.
It’s meant to be free.
The magnetic pull of the tides
It’s in your eyes
As they roll back
Starlight stirs
The fire inside
