On Broadway

Pass the weed

And pass the bottle

Pass the happy times around

And sing to me the stories of

The people who were found

In the laughter

And the clamor

In the music

And the games

In the barrios and bar rooms

In the rivers and the flames

Yes, they are all here with us

And we wonder how it’s so

There’s no past and no tomorrow

Just this joyful Broadway show

And the lights are now upon us

The applause is raining down

And we bow before its presence

And we hear it like a song

And the voices all say, “Well done!”

As the flowers do unfold

And the fragrance of the moment

Is so precious to behold

And We’ll play again this morning

And our stories all be told

Stoned

I held California in my hand

2X1x1/4”

Black on top

Yellow on the bottom

Brought halfway cross country

In uncle’s pocket

Amongst the coins and kerchief

Found on the ground in Yosemite perhaps

Cumulonimbus

Perhaps I am that cloud

Feeling free floating and unencumbered

Except by hands of heat and wind

molding, shaping and pushing me

To disappear

Until I realize I block the sun

And reaching out I thunder

No!

Loosing fear to those who live below

My lofty perch

Of atmosphere

Desert Walk

Yes.

That curiosity

The one word/tone

Which

All words

Answers all questions

it asks

How to Create one from two?

The wonder/wander

That sees similarities before differences

And calls it relationship.
