Swallowed by Time

Maria’s laugh
The sloping hills
The cardinal in the azure sky
Red, blue, and green
Dissolved like pills
Were any of these
Ever mine?
Pictures fading
Through my throat
I cannot call them
Swallowed by time

Boat upon
The simmering sea
Liquid life runs out of me
Dancing people dot the shore
Sandy granules in my hand
Were any of these
Ever mine?
Images fading
Back the tide
I cannot hold them
Swallowed by time

Dreamless sleep
To sleepless dream
Something swirling in between
Turning through this night of stars
The sun will rise but it is far
Planets fading
Through my mind
I cannot see them
Swallowed by time

What Is in the Way

Love flowing like a river
From sea to shining sea
Straight on through the heartland
Watch the cornfields breathe

What is in the way?
Something’s holding us….
What is in the way?

Ideas shared cross borders
Things that all can know
Perfect sublimation
Of the seeds and dreams we grow

What is in the way?
Something’s holding us….
What is in the way?

Would that I could go to you
Be it night or day
Open arms to hold you tight
Open minds at play

What is in the way?
Something’s holding us….
What is in the way?

I Cannot Think

I cannot think
Without my MacIntosh by Apple
Cannot think
Without the program I was given
Cannot think
Without the baseline algorithm
Cannot think
The world just moves in vectors
And the people speak conundrums
Surely there’s an app for this
Troubleshoot the brain
Too much hardwire too much strain
I cannot think
How people live with such emotion
Cannot think
The matrix of the ocean
And the puzzling uberskyline
With these soaring animals
And those floating things below
They cannot think I cannot think
