High school

You’ll never again
feel pain, joy both at once. Be
so at odds with life.

Speak

When you unburden,
you hope listeners will care.
Yet some could care less.

Children’s show

J’s Sleeping Beauty.
Small kids grab at her princess
gown with sticky hands.

Scenes from an Italian restaurant chain

After the high school
show they flirt over pizza
sodas at Uno’s.

Autumn precedence

Trees have never held
leaves as late as November.
Frost was wrong. Gold stays.

Artistic insight

Vision isn’t so
much a function of seeing
as it is feeling.

Creative class

with props to selfinterestandsympathy for this one 

I will often cite
Richard Florida’s ideas.
People stare blankly.

Can’t sleep 9 – deep thoughts

Late night imparts great
wisdom to ideas which seem
silly in daylight.

Passage to India

I’m not here. I’m lost
in Varanasi. A world
Luke Storm opened wide.

Globalization

Site Meter tells me
my words are read in countries
I’ll never visit.
