"'I'm sorry, no one can take your
Call right now' no one ever can,
For I laid me down and went to sleep
And never will wake again."

from "Belinda, RIP"

It is not enough
Not to mean to do something.
You must MEAN not to do it!

What audacity to think that our mortal perception,
...
Will not itself be put out of the textbooks
When our grandchildren discover
What ignorant savages we are

Who is it that you've lost
That you have not found inside yourself?
Those who've left us, left us clues;
You carry on, you carry them, you're more.

Her belt was hard-pressed to keep up her pants

Ah, the ancient see - saw ethereal:
Between the essential now, here with me,
And the anticipation of looking back to now.

Self-awareness is only as perfect as our myth of reality.
[From Red Shift - Mind]

I came to love you never knowing you were gone

From "Jo Betty"

If all I have to show the world is my intellect and my children, then my children are far greater emissaries.

Men do not hunt
For the Queen of Summer;
Men hunt to forget her
