youth can be silly -
youth can be fun.
youth can be hilly.
youth can be a run.

whatever your youth,
enjoy what you can -
you will carry it with you,
like a backpack on a man.

"Pretty Easy"

pretty easy, really.
don't sweat it. or, if
you do, try to let it go.
laugh it off best you
can. we all end in
the end. do the best
you can with today -
one day at a time -
all we've got.

now, really - really?
absurd as it may sound,
it's going to be ok. just
look at how far you've
come already. despite
it all - all of it. you're
going to be ok. try not
to worry. I mean. be
real. enjoy life. hey -
enjoy it! 'k?

held by hatchets
in a familiar pose.
crossed by heritage -
fame, metal, wood -
but the handles, they
remain open - you
can slip out from
under them
any time.
any. time.

a thought - or a sight -
frozen in a moment on
stage - old friend
guitar facing forward,
patiently waiting.

flowers on a hat,
a downturned gaze,
youth a' bloom at that -
independent days.

if I saw you walking down
the street, I'd wonder who
you are, if I didn't know. It
would be the hat, I think.
loose clothes flowing, sure -
but the hat, the brim turned
just so, gives you away as
someone to watch.

sometimes, we end up
in a prison of our own
making. dingy. brick
walls. elbow in the
mirror. balancing
ourselves precariously
near the toilet. it doesn't
have to end that way. it
doesn't have to end that
way.

that look - at
first, dark, perhaps menacing,
but softens straight away to
curiosity, an intense need -
a plead for understanding.

silent wood, tattoos.
strings and rings.
a newsboy cap, a strap.
shades. a vest o'er rolled
sleeves. bracelets upon
bracelets, but it's
the look this way,
the small, knowing grin.
that's what gets them,
you see. Seeing them.

cases and jackets and hats -
backstage stops along the trail.
a tour, a show, an exhibit, then go.
what is the scene behind the scenes -
the show for those in the know?

it's not the thing, it's how
it was held, studied, touched
and warmed, urged to sing.
worn patches, a tiny crack,
soft slopes of faded wood -
signs of hands at work -
a fingerprint, left behind.
signs that he was here.

eyes under
brim - reveal so much -
tip down and hide; lift up and show.
tip down and hide; lift up and show.
eyes under brim -
nice, easy, dramatic trick -
peek-a-boo and
hide and seek.

you have a talent people
like. they applaud your
gift, put you on the
spot. go, let us look at you -
talented person, stand
before us; take our cheers,
our jeers. just take it,
talented person, you -
who have what we do not.

on the eve -
may as well
look up - not
down. whatever
is out there
to be, will be -
the sweet unknown.
may yours -
whatever it may
show up to be -
be more up
than down.

"At The New Year"

at the new year - we
become young again
in the clocking of time.
starting over, yet again -
fresh and new - all of
us, together - at the
same starting gate -
the midnight door -
facing infinities of
unknowns.
