Criss Crossings
Halfway along a train of thought a single passenger, just you, as nimble as a soft-pawed cat, stepped out onto a deserted platform. Out of my heart, a great rocket of desire raced away into a half-dressed sky. It may have been your floppy hat. and your pink shoes that caught my attention, yet it was you, your appearance between the hat and shoes that caused...

"I was at an intersection, approaching a stop light It had changed from green to yellow then red Three autos in front of me I was facing north on 84th street Right off of Center As I'm stopped I canter peered my vision to the left of me And for the life of me Have I never seen It was a mouse crossing...

Faded Crossings
The sun went down before mid day. And left me just walking away. To feel the darkness cover me. And wonder if I'll ever see. The light of day has a new shade. Since that dark day that the devil made.

Border Crossings
We’ve got a border to secure To keep bad folks out I’m sure But a fence it must endure repeated breechings And every him and her In Congress with a cure Says our plans are immature and keep on screeching A 10 foot fence is no deterrent Sixteen’s the thinking current But bring a ladder and that’s all she wrote So maybe alligators Water too...

Yes, I am seeing more and more cars stalled on the freeway. I am seeing shorter tempers. I am seeing more faces gnarled with stress. I hear more talking of border crossings. Things are getting much more gruesome out there. Our leaders understand vaguely the social beasties grinning in fulsome anticipation the bloodbath ready to commence. In our closed world we don't know just...
