His Dance

Formidable humming

Slow thinking songs

The one thing

That slow

Joy

Crackle hum quiet Bursts receding

Making friends with a mosquito.

His dance.

God Weeps In Joy



This is

The written word was actually god given,
with God's sole intention of being being
bestowing such a gift as a simple hope
that this poem would be written.

God rejoices as I write this,
completing his ultimate
goal of first giving us
language.

God weeps in joy.

BREAK UP



Bodies in the sand 
Tropical drink melting in your hand 
We'll be falling in love 
To the rhythm of a steel drum band 

To Martinique, that Monserrat mystique 

We'll put out to sea 
And we'll perfect our chemistry 
By and by we'll defy a little bit of gravity 

Afternoon delight 
cocktails and moonlit nights 
That dreamy look in your eye 
Give me a tropical contact high 

Port Au Prince I wanna catch a glimpse

Now if you wanna go 
And get away from it all 
Go down to Kokomo 

Aruba, Jamaica ooo I wanna take you 
To Bermuda, Bahama come on pretty mama 
Key Largo, Montego baby why don't we go 
Down to Kokomo 
We'll get there fast 
And then we'll take it slow 
That's where we wanna go 
Way down to Kokomo 

Aruba, Jamaica ooo I wanna take you 
To Bermuda, Bahama come on pretty mama 
Key Largo, Montego baby why don't we go 
Down to Kokomo 
We'll get there fast 
And then we'll take it slow 
That's where we wanna go 
Way down to Kokomo 

Aruba, Jamaica ooo I wanna take you 
To Bermuda, Bahama come on pretty mama 
Key Largo, Montego baby why don't we go 
Down to Kokomo 
We'll get there fast and then we'll take 
it slow That's where we wanna go 
Way down to Kokomo

The Search

Mother father

Fathers says

What does unpretentious mean

When I describe his dart friends.

I try to explain. I try so unoften.

We laugh and I put every other beer on his tab.

My mother you know, that art party I bar tended,

That art dealer, that gallery, that's her end all. No,

Your friends aren't low lifes like she said, no those

Art folks are not all bad it's what we need and they

Are as good as the drunk dart player in his prime,

And past his prime.  Mostly Star Trek comes on

After painting houses not canvases, and the

Hot dog burger pizza fills the sky

With awe of love, love

Love of the

Low

Love of the

High

Love after love,

Reply.

Time enough twelve to thirty and will it be enough

And it works and it does, somehow it always does

Dad, mom, meaning, late, time brother fast and

Soon enough

Strings percussive

Break when you fall out

Laugh as you do

Any
Everything


Try laugh everyone
Try laugh everyone Always
