The saxophone plays
I picture women, dancing
With suit clad men
Echoes from the Beats
And their Bebopping

Passion and Tranquility
Some draw
Strength from
Passion
Others from
Tranquility
Both are not
Only valid
But critical
Winning At War
War: the ultimate
Form of win-lose or lose-lose
There is no win-win
Evening Of Jazz
Evening jazz fills me
Warmed by memories
Happier times of my youth
A bountiful world, opportunity
Filled to the brim, perhaps even
Overflowing. So much perspective
Grown, eyes different…in so many
Ways. So many ways, indeed.
Oh, To Have Peace
So very much rage
We delight in feeding it
I still pray for peace
Our Dependence On Internet Access
Dancing bits and such
Doesn’t seem like all that much
Work stops without access
Twilight Reflections
As darkness descends
Violet mixes with the blue
Clouds racing the wind
Emptiness
Depression robs joy
Gnawing out our happiness
Nothing left within
Reflecting on change
Changing the world
Much like changing a diaper
Stinky, with rewards
Weeds: A Haiku
Their aggressive growth
Strangely undesirable
Hate the survivors?
