Thirty seconds

Change is like
walking down
a path
looking down
thinking about
the things
you always think
about
and then stopping
still
for thirty seconds
looking around.
Then you turn around
walk back
looking up
and take another path.

You Have to Push Yourself

over that margin
from good
to really nice.

Lazy Love

I thought about you
Today
Hoped I saw you
Walk by
Hoped you would
Come in
And say hello
These were my hopes
However shocking
They be
For I never imagined
I would return to a place
Where your company
Is what I seek
I know
Exactly
What it was
Our pact
To hold each other
Tightly
Despite it all
Your reliable
Reliable presence
The devotion
I could feel
In the space
Between us
You wouldn’t
Couldn’t not
Love me
And I wouldn’t
Couldn’t
Not love that
I reach out my hand
I know a kiss
Would be so easy
How is it so
After all that?
Two years ago.
We were complicit
You and I
lazy
In our weaknesses

Don't

Doubt
Yourself

waiting for others

Then and then
it happens
that brief
fleeting moment
when
you are actually
leading the way
when
you are actually
doing the right
thing
when things
are
working out
and you
realize you
have been right
all along
just waiting
for others
to catch on...

Blond

A woman went to flower market. She was seeking some beauty, something with color and light, something with ultimate meaning. Her day was full of excel files, budgets, and numbers. Numbers that said no, no, no. She was 38, blond. Her hair was long and full of life as if she was 15. It was pulled back in a loose pony tail. She had a long face and strong bones, she was stunning, actually. The market was on the corner of two streets that formed a triangle. As she stood in front of the remarkable flowers, she was grateful that there were so many for her to look at and enjoy. It wasn’t just carnations or roses, this florist had too much art in him, and he picked and imported his flowers like they were chocolate, knowing that the tiniest detail made a difference. It was like a painting before her, something to stare at for awhile, the skinny petals, the fat ones, the ones that looked like stars and the ones that looked like the sun. She must have stayed there for an hour. Then the light on the flowers changed as the sun sunk into the ground and from behind her the night shown over her shoulders. She began to cry as the sensation of the flowers and the setting light overwhelmed her senses.

Why?

By the way

the first day of the rest of my life...when was that? three four days ago. Thats been rough ;)

But

can we avoid it being a revolution? Revolutions always are way too distructive and screw up society...the sexual revolution removed all protection of women in society, the Islamic revolution got rid of all options for a balanced society...

How about a socialist review?

Or just more regulation please?

AIG brings in the socialist revolution...tank you...

"As a businessman of some 37 years, I have seen the good side of capitalism. Over the last few months, in reviewing how A.I.G. had been run in prior years, I have also seen evidence of its bad side.”

Changing my population

Im changing my population
the place I used to sit
in the crowd
I am moving to a
different place
different people around
a momentum
has begun
and all the beggars
and cheaters
and liars
have been left
behind

Love is

believing in the truth
in people

facing the reality
of situations

and letting it
wash over you

Change is totally

POSSIBLE

Congratulations!

This is the first day
of the rest of your
life.

Consistency

Is hard to learn
but important
for trust
to build

and magic

happens
every day

magic

happens
every day
with you

How

did I get here
so far from there?
When did it happen?
When did I ease up
on myself?
And start enjoying this?
thank goodness
it happened

some battles

have to be fought
to learn
that they should never
be fought again

Haft-sin

seeing the table
and all its parts
its color
its life
its nature
I remember
the beginning
of us

Rebellion

There is a rebellion
within me
it doesn't want to check
twice
it doesn't want to
be sure
it wants to throw it
to the wind
let someone else
put on the finishing touches
someone else can bog
down
but me, I want to fly

Suffering

Human suffering
is a common denominator

Human fallibility
is the bridge
between us

happiness

happiness is
feeling totally confident
that you can figure it out

you are like
faintly knowing something
for a very long time
and then
seeing it in real life

Silence of Beauty

It sounds like the silence of early morning snow
When the city shuts down
And we steal the morning

Winter Luminecence on a soft ivory bed
The sensation is like a volcano
that constantly erupts from inside your chest
instead of hot lava
it pushes out butterflies
That fly into the bedroom leaving
Drops of
Sincerity in their path
It is as warm as a sleepy kiss
That starts slow and opens up
Gradually into a complicit wave of passion
It looks like four eyes looking out the window
Faces touch
As we lay
Intertwined
Stopping time

you remain

when you are here
there seems no other way
when you are gone
it too seems the only way
the only way you
remain always
and consistent
is in the feeling
inside
my chest

cried

tears
tears
of joy
again
and again

left

for awhile
went into a tunnel
of beauty
winter respite
into the tiny
molecules
that bounce
between two
