friday night!

home in bed😊

was so tired then i typed to the lady friend and now i am awake

go figure

not too hard though

the hardness comes and goes

in multiple senses

and the crickets flo

when will that end?

wintertime and it will be just the interstate

and you by my side

perhaps

busy

we are all busy

and martha watches

watches in dads hands

pocket watch

trains and engineers

the train kept a rollin all night long

checkin the watch like clock work

checkin the phone

phone works



turn it off then what have you got?

the moment and sounds

and waffle house chicken sandwiches

tasting like chicken

rubbery

papa

loves(d) it

though it was a blt

tai chi and george rr martin

good book and read it before but starting it again

chemistry

science of all sciences

figuring it out

sort of

see how far we get right?



i enjoy the silence

and i see you walking

chaotic

lively energy

peace a midst the storm

can i come out with an idea

that is o riginal?

can i be something

i am not?

only if you think that way

only what you got

to be and not be

simultaneously

i have to stop and think that is not good i have to go to the store and buy some goods

to take home and fill the cupboards

and do something nice for someone

because they have done nice for me

and baking cookies and that is so far away

i will do tai chi tomorrow and be on my way

maybe here maybe to the store and buy some goods maybe to the place where i should

maybe here and maybe there

what am i saying but saying the good

word

the good word comes from you as you slow down a little and just type and type

letting go and learning as you go

where are we going? dear friends

where are we going?

are you breathing or just eating

or thinking about something else

while it is all going on

that is ok

i think just be happy and let go of tension

dont be so hard on your self boss says

is that true where did i learn it from? letting that go too

thinking of how much i have been taught through life experiences some may never get

and some who have already got

moving to and from

here and there

he says im sorry when i say she is from wisconsin😊

then i am from buffalo and she talks and talks😊

about me?

me is glad to be home

me is glad to get books

and be in bed with nice computer grandma helped me with





those were days of roses

poetry and prose's

Martha all i had was you and all you had was me

there were no tomorrows

to pack away our sorrows

and wed save em for a rainy day

-tom waits





days to come

i cannot see

i can see the future

only temporarily

patience is there

like spring that will come

waiting for the inevitable

waiting some

to do lists dropped

dropping your chores

like a wish fulfilling basket

set at your door

blown away

in a sea of laughter

laugh all you dears

laugh faster

cackling out car windows

and poetry blastin

from car stereos

sandwiches

and china food

and girls talking

and games are playing

orange and white

music up north louie bluie fright



what will i do

where will i go i never seem to know

i am just fine sitting where i am

no need to leave if you like it

right where i am

-

karl



back to the start

where to begin

start at the end

and forge ahead

ego

calling

hula hoopin

just let me know girl

just let me know

and we'll be flyin

flyin high

in our pepsi convertible sunshine

beaming in our eyes

universal voices screaming cry

j and his sundance raindance

playin his blues can you tell me who is afraid of who?

getting hit

hurt?

what can i do but let that go

and try to help by helping you

i have done

what i have done

and you can accept that

sir

let go of all that exterior sir

let go

you should

it will continue to get harder

as you get better

that's when you know it is working

cause you hit rock bottom

and there is no going down any further

so stand up

put on your boots

and overalls

overall sir you have done well

go out and conquer your world

with joy and laughter

go out and go

be ever after

one more line two more lines however many it takes for me to say

what it is

i need to say

and what am i saying?

what am i doing

what did moby dick do

never read it!

but to live in a whale

to send the harpoon

out and to kill such an animal

makes my heart drop

even that chicken who fed me tonight

rubbery chicken delight

thanks for that sacrifice

sacrifice

here i pause

i pause because

what are you giving up

what are you receiving

you don't have to be so damn maryteristic

myrteristic

martyristic

you can be free of all that

and just be

with one hand i will write

pray for the other

perhaps i will draGON IT

WITH COMPUTER SPEECH TO text

in the city with bright lights

and the world of sirens getting light light

there is friction

cause so much light

a world infringing

on an old thought base

paradim

shift

to the world

welcome to the new age

the new age

goodnight world

thank you for the day

and all that is jumbled

hip hop parade

thank you for Shawn and those at work

thank you the day

thank you

kirk

cameron

one more perhaps coherent thought and i will stop





one more though and i will stop

one more thought

and i will

return return

return

to the world

once more

to be here

forever more

gold finshes

and auks

penguins and love

to be hurt

love to be loved

good night

dear sirs

as charlie brown would say

hasta manana

snoopy lays down on his house

and waits and waits and waits for his master

looking bored

toward the red velvet sky
