Wanted clarity A set path But no light shone Just murky streaks What lies out there Is unknown But tempting And remains a possibility To see would be wondrous To know would be soothing But there is no lit path Only maybes hold fast To dream a fantasy A […]
To dream a nice dream To walk so there is sleep Sink into the pillow And suffocate through one’s aspirations Oh to dream and to dream Each waking moment an agony Each sleeping moment an aberration Bringing pure escapist delight To wash away […]
When I was a young kid, I maybe skipped school twice. I skipped it once to catch a New York Mets game. And it was so worth it. The thrill of being bad for something so innocuous was cool. Or at least I felt super cool at the […]
I have started making my son’s bed. Am I finally growing up? No. That’s my answer. But let’s rewind and take this from the beginning. I don’t make my bed. I just don’t care how rumpled a bed may be. Here is my thinking and philosophy […]
I have a never-ending love, craving even, of travel. I just got back from a trip and am looking forward to the next. I think of Willie Nelson’s song “On the road again” with great fondness not only because my mother loved it but also because I’m always […]
