Who needs nurseries
Then we get inspired
we wait
we wait
we wait
and wait
we wait
until we’re tired
when we let go
and walk away
then
we get inspired
At least at last
at least
at last
the present
quickly turns
into the past
Nothing gets past us
nothing gets past us…
except the future
Something to be said
when you always have something
to say about something
there is a lot is to be said
for something to say
Photoshop
you are
my friend
my friend
in need
I can make
all things pretty
with you
a noble deed
Oh shoot!
Oh shoot!
I got shot
by a suspect
that is hot,
a LongLegged
tall brunette
this shooter
I know not
she fled the scene
it’s really mean
for a cruel
but lovely lass,
yet I will forgive
and marry her
if she takes that cap
out of my ass
I have my wits about me
I have my wits about me,
hence I put them to words

Some advice from Kurt
In 2006 a high school English teacher asked students to write a famous author and ask for advice. Kurt Vonnegut was the only one to respond – and his response is magnificent:
“Dear Xavier High School, and Ms. Lockwood, and Messrs Perin, McFeely, Batten, Maurer and Congiusta:
I thank you for your friendly letters. You sure know how to cheer up a really old geezer (84) in his sunset years. I don’t make public appearances any more because I now resemble nothing so much as an iguana.
What I had to say to you, moreover, would not take long, to wit: Practice any art, music, singing, dancing, acting, drawing, painting, sculpting, poetry, fiction, essays, reportage, no matter how well or badly, not to get money and fame, but to experience becoming, to find out what’s inside you, to make your soul grow.
Seriously! I mean starting right now, do art and do it for the rest of your lives. Draw a funny or nice picture of Ms. Lockwood, and give it to her. Dance home after school, and sing in the shower and on and on. Make a face in your mashed potatoes. Pretend you’re Count Dracula.
Here’s an assignment for tonight, and I hope Ms. Lockwood will flunk you if you don’t do it: Write a six line poem, about anything, but rhymed. No fair tennis without a net. Make it as good as you possibly can. But don’t tell anybody what you’re doing. Don’t show it or recite it to anybody, not even your girlfriend or parents or whatever, or Ms. Lockwood. OK?
Tear it up into teeny-weeny pieces, and discard them into widely separated trash receptacals. You will find that you have already been gloriously rewarded for your poem. You have experienced becoming, learned a lot more about what’s inside you, and you have made your soul grow.
God bless you all!”

Startled by my sanity
I can’t complain
about my brain
I am startled
by my sanity
It’s almost
driving me insane
Proud to hold your hand
through all the parks
and fields
along the hedges
defining hills
on countless paths
over bridges
of creeks with ditches
smelling spring flowers
for hours and hours
I squeeze
you smile
and understand
that I’m in love
with you
and proud
to hold your hand
