Fall in love with the little things
The way the sunlight hits the spice rack
Knowing that beam is just for you
The way it all looks this second
Because now is all we have
So why not fall in love with it
The things outside this moment
Are then's problems
But right now
Is mine
And beautiful

A clipped plant watching the weeds grow
And a security camera peering into its reflection
Isn't life like that?
Longing for a freedom we lost
Staring at a fragment of ourselves
I hope the lens and the eucalyptus
Find solace in each other
And a security camera peering into its reflection
Isn't life like that?
Longing for a freedom we lost

It used to be a toy was a toy
Not a facsimile
Of a ball and chain.
Thankfully,
My son decided to use his
As a feather weight
Lest his real treasure
Fly away on the breeze.

Efforts bear fruit
And ducks lay eggs
The act of creation and whimsy
Begets more of the same
So go forth
My silly Geese-
Make happy happen
You never know!
A stranger may join
Your crazy train
And you may find yourself
In better spirits
With a companion
Misery loves company
But so does joy

The lights are on
And somebody's home-
Spring and the house
Are full of things warm and blooming;
Sunshine and flowers
Laughter and love
Hugs from a toddler
And soon-to-be second time mother.
Winter's behind,
No more coldness or brooding.

The promise of hail

Were much overblown.

Don't forget to fall in love
With everyday life-
The same tea
In the same mug
While feeding the same cats
And dogs
And kids
And hearts.
Don't wait for the world
To make your moments
Beautiful.
They already are.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: just like every gun is always loaded, there is a fed in every chat
Anecdotal, but I'm definitely noticing an uptick in advocacy for violence here. About which I'll say only this: Promoting violence on social media is the work of trolls and fools, those eager to bait others into implicating themselves in the age of surveillance or fools rushing to the gulag.

The radiance
in existence.
It sings in the sun
And carries a flame
In daylight's absence.
It glows bright and warm
And helps bear the weight
Through winters madness.
And all it asks in return
Is companionship
To be treated as kin
Instead of kindle.

Equal parts sadness
Equal parts joy
Equal parts stoic
Equal parts friend
Equal parts tears
Caused by the outside
And soothed from within
Where is the line
And when does the battle end?
All I want
Is to be a lover
And yet
Forces outside my will
Make my path another.
A recipe for madness.

Some days
It feels as though the sun is setting
Just for me
As if I'm the only one left
To see it sink below the horizon
A fond farewell
Between my light and its

Will crumble
All you need to do

Only grey

My camera roll
Is far less chaotic
Than I've been told the world outside is
In fact
You can hardly even tell
Humans have been here
Except for the broken scissors
A monument to the unknown
And flowers on a rock
A love letter to nowhere.

This day hasn't changed
The sun
The fresh smell of grass and steaming bark
Carried on a gentle breeze
Clouds painted on a lucid blue sky
This day is the same
Despite being 20 years different
The good is static
The chaos transient
Ugliness comes and goes
But beauty is forever

"It's not so black and white"
They say
While actively making it that way.
The cars and trucks
The shops and clinics
The pundits and rhetoric
No shade of grey
I know the vision they see
How we will be to one another
And wonder what we did
To deserve this lack of color.

Every strip mall has an architect
Which means someone
Sometime
Thought about this corner
And the sunbeams that would dance through
And the shadows that would hide from them.
As soulless as a suburban strip mall can be,
This forgotten westward corner
Secretly sings

Help
I've done too many lines
Of code
And spreadsheets
Now I only want the ones
Through the blinds
Reminding me there's a life
A world
Outside these tabbed windows
And the ones in the wall of the house
Lines of light
They all may be
But only one of the three
Has ever called to me

A scooter is the perfect choice
For poets
Or anyone who wishes to feel
The part
When the birds sing
And the taco trucks cook
And the trees pine
As do you
To be one with it all
The song and smells and sights of existence
You'll know why cars
Are purgatory at best
And padded cells at worst.

I remember this place
Well
Not THIS place
But a place where the sun
Dove through the concrete
And the air was fresh and crisp
EB Games
San Diego
At some outdoor mall
Now it's gone
The gamestore
And the world it lived in
And that 10 year old me
Do I mourn the loss
Or celebrate the memory?
