Danger, Danger!

Walk… or don’t

Walking keeps the blood moving
Moving blood keeps you moving

You don’t move
It don’t move:

It don’t move:
You don’t move!

Stopped blood clots!
Then things rots!

Think about the implications!

Love

Love is
A heart attack
Some people
Never get over.

Perspective

THE COSMOS

Celestial stretch

Of infinitely endless

Stars and other

Matter that

Only God could

Surely understand

In the Quiet of the Night

San Francisco… On The Bay

It's spooky on a surreally foggy night or early morning

When the misty tendrils of fog hug the lamp posts and

Wetly kiss your cheek in passing.

Such unexpectedly cool passion

Is serendipitously transient,

Reminiscent of the fog

Creeping in on cats paws.

The other day

One Misty Morning

As I peered sleepily out the window this morning

Something told me: Take warning, take warning!

Awesome tendrils of morning mist

Thick enough to punch with a fist

Were swirling around my car…

It was impossible to see very far!

And as I went back to bed I muttered this tome.

I’m so glad it’s Saturday and I can stay home!

My Day!

It All Adds Up

Ever have one of those days?

Like they struck out Willie Mays?

5:30 AM: I found a dead sump pump

So, took it out and sent it to the dump

Then, on my way down town

My car window got stuck down

What a pain!

It’s gonna rain!

Ain’t it just my luck?

But I finally got it up!

I wound up bein’ only 4 minutes late

But it’s OK: I forgot to check the date.

And I’m off today

Hooray, hooray!

Love

Is a four

Letter word

Love

From above

Is a Promise!

snow

Blinding Snow Driving*

Swirling feathers of white

Blotting out the night

Snow flakes reflecting blinding light

Softly obscuring my inquiring sight

So I turn off the driving brights

And use only my parking lights

To illuminate the ground below

The pervasively blowing snow.

Honeymoon in an early January snow storm

(20 years ago in 1987)

The New Year

The New Year

Ah, the New Year

It’s finally here

It’s as clean and fresh as new snow

Ours to decide how to come and go

Past decisions are there to learn from

Not to do so would be really dumb

The future is yours to call

Simon sez good luck to all
