The Difference between Joy and Happiness

This is the poem I am remembered for
To read love, to have written love
To read and write only the
Other words that help
Love connect

Wishing Is Different Than Hope

Help us
Hold us

Hell, I've dreamed of you.

You were sitting rocking in a rocking chair while I shook spiders from my shoe, telling me slowly of important things with care I wished was care-free.

Wishing is different than hope.

You had a system you weren't trying to teach me I wanted to learn and confirmed I could do like you with your waiting just when the water filled to strike assured the side of the washing-machine and close in the snake.

When I tried the snake curved more and biting quick bent more than I anticipated, thin wide triangle teeth ripping without tearing my hands, again and again.

You were god distorted by the imbedded memory of the god the humanist drunk made for his utopia

That Place We Remember Fondly

Approach us with joy and thanksgiving and song:

Sing to us our woes only in upbeat soft pitched melody as an afterthought,
Still sprinkled with serene sincere gratitude and contentment calmly rising

Help, can't we ask? Just now a little

no reasons for feelings unnamable

Now will never come again

Now I want here

I want nowhere

Chorus

Start again on Monday, today
Try again today, Monday

Begin again this week
Start today, get in
A station wagon

Get product reviews save up
And drive off with news

Of the economy in
Funny words above
& below a funny
Picture & look up

Song lyrics before
Punching in a destination.

Our dog will never die,
We'll never have a beer in hell

Hell, drive off this Monday, today
Begin the week somewhere far

Away each day this week
Until where we'll be next
Week will be bright enough
For a cold strong coffee
That will outlast Any
Static place

low now

Be

A place, a day, a month, a year, a decade

Many places, many days, many months, many years, many decades

All the same; they release us, leave us where and when we want to be, need to be.

Release us, our under us, our above us, and that that is right there with us; from that that is made for us and that that is made by us; the same.

To find out the more control we have the more freedom we have. 

To find in the result of our effort or effortlessness we have what we all always wanted, needed.

In a routine, or in a flow of impulses (there has never been chaos anywhere, there will never be chaos anywhere) order can not help itself from coming through us and all that is inside our shelter, outside our shelter, even when our shelter would only be an unforgiving sky, we always find forgiveness in what we accept to give; as our each and others are always together, so our accepting and our giving are the same movement within our greater us, our greater us that has always and will always simply Be.

Sometimes We Can't Believe It

Time spending
Realizing nowhere never ends
Begins, stops, goes on about and busy

Seeds of grieving lets loose believing in no needing
Seeing a way out of nowhere feelings retrieving want not leaving

A key under the Angel, a door a part of a building named temporary home away from home

Where home, where want where not here if lost where else could we be believing in plants and animals,

Ceilings floors walls and windows revolving around our feeling comfortable means of efforts set down in a nice nook of our house

Outside leaves are turning and falling with their freshly dried smells leaving bare branches stark on the bright white-grey sky over cars parked with many parts turned off

Feelings project on it all and reflect fresh cut still-green grass, flowers, winding sidewalks and black-grey straight streets, mail boxes full of colorful semi-glossy images of sweaters and shoes

It's too early for people just yet, we hear only our morning songs of absent voices and strings strummed lightly, then rough then calm before boldly briefly fading out against bird cries calming

Softly, softly, softly
A day begins rightly

No Loss

Steady rise

Heat of the late morning

Together we can reign in
What wasn't lost but hid
Inside what wasn't yet.

Now we know it is us,
Was us, and will be
Our Now and
Future

Get a dog get a car call your dad and all go across your country

Brand New Socks

Going fast going slow coming to where all is ready for forgetting eventuality

Listen To Live Jazz

Awake arise recall relieve what was and what will be.

Sing this song when low when high and have belief in the never minding.

Tell Me A Story

All of us are always waiting for the arrival of what we want when the needs we have have ever presently been met but our greatest trick as we have all always known as our great asset is confusing want and need so well they are one with one another

Ghost Stories

Groups form and fall apart and their meanings linger until picked up and apart and put together to be known by new names and faces ages apart of us

Clarity

Time stands so much yet it never breaks

Climbing While Reclining

The amount of recollection is paramount to our steady gaze into what willpower can gather us together for our future selves

We Have Done Right

Mistakes have never been made and though we cannot predict the future it is with certainty we know there never will be a mistake made

Absent Clouds

Calm of where to go nowhere else needed but now there is only this need but here now where else to go but would we go anywhere else since we can go anywhere while we are all one with the masses though they splinter and find us apart from where we feel likewise with our near us now where we go to go into the movement of only hands and eyes.

Hands and eyes leaving us with nowhere to go as we like it to know to be known in our splinter striking a chord between a father wanting to help a son needing but not wanting help and the illusion of independence growing inward until there is no more inward growth available and then the slow but steady outward diminishing until then there really is nothing and nowhere here and everywhere all of us are.

Going about this inside work outside we recline while standing still still but our hands and eyes know the nowhere nothing so well we mean to do what we can to find a way back into help for all of our forgotten independence surrounding us into the daylight of night time's concluding weather pleasant reflection of  a release we all feel the same time we never knew what was happening so well.

Returning to the space of our time spending where all things outside make a home in our place of rest amidst our safe labors of fruitful sloth and loss of ambition for what we know could never be better than now.

Bribery

Yeah,
OK.

I Always Want To Feel This

We will work out our safe place

Until we know better than the others

Who repress what would be another

Expression of ourself's salvation

Independence

Rations
Rationing
Rations

Low Light

We feel soft slow lack of guilt.

Should we feel any other way?

Where else would we be,

Home?  Where we know

Home, where we are our

Own

Rationing

Clear out the up-to-no-good, no,
Revive the lack of muddledness.

It's The Years

Plan for days

Swimming Good

Great escape, calm us.
We need us, know us,
Need you, knowing.

Find Your Own Meaning

Oh, that, that's where we keep leaving what we used to be alone

You Were Stuck At Home

Eat where you want to be

Nobody Else (like you)

Climb.

There are further places
We need
To be on

Pick and choose

The soul is math.

Space

This here's the poem you always wanted.

To forget the forgive me nots, this resolves.

The dash-acceptance of every-day, forget us
Never, we know you know you have a place.

they will believe
have faith, know
that we are better

and what about us?

will we ever see out of our
places? will we ever know

anyway it's always better where
we go to know ourselves better

to better ourselves.  to find place
in time in place of where Now is

My fruit flies are drunks

My friends don't care
       they understand what I offer

Some stupid slow song

Hold on to what crooked hope you have left landing you where you amount to perfect

Text messaging

It's kinda utopia

A Good Deal

There is no cloud only clouds

She is on my bed

Why not?
Why no reasoning
Why does my dog yawn
When do we close longing

Yards. Many yards distance.

Short distinct sounds of a slow growl near howl

And where will we end up after our wine tasting,?

Replacing smells

Morning wine

Ever present gratitude

You're always welcome here but let me know where you go if not here and I'll go there

My whole life lately
Has been like the end
Of 'A Light in August'

from bird to lamb

It feels good to spend money
It feels good to spend nothing

something different

Hey well well I think we should not wait
Longing for another thing, one more

you know you have

Done your best

it's important to put it out there

Knowing what you want
Wanting very developed

Waste of nothing

Lakeview August

The children are playing redemption games in the warm light of the street lights and fancy fixtured warm light lights

Their parents and grand parents join in and the cries excitement and laughter overlay with the hum of bugs, fireflies

Put it in your hands

We are right.
You are right.

We are all right.

poetics of politics

Here we go

Go to prison.
Go to church

Drop the Eucharist
Repent come clean

Find the money sign
Tell one to everyone

The song of myself.

Next part

Recall left to future sigh,
Here-to you know me.

Be that,
Be it.

Some sweet fallen chicken fingers

Well we were right when we said we would say nothing on the matter,

Wait, were we right when we decided and followed through on doing nothing?

Summer time shy

Sweet sweltering feast of meat and berries

I'm touching where you live

Get escape money is what I don't do do but for you, fahghettabautit

I thought we knew what we do

Get it is what we are

Love everywhere I go shut up

I need peace, love leaves me happy to be locked up

Where were we waiting,
Where were we waiting to be locked up by mistakes
We forgot held close never-lover left alone Money

Laying in

Any time we never agree to get together we have ultimate power

Bros are discriminated against even on stage they fall shy

No Bro is ever shy you know they know they ain't

Hell have you over for dinner and hip hop

Hell have me over never faceless

Foolishness held on Hard

Never am I thanks

hey we knew you would lay it out clear&clean
to take, to put it in, to feel senses as they leave

do we ever die or do we die nightly or is it us
who will will our life to fall into snug growth

still have a Shinola

car accidents and lost phones
standing tall while you slouch
satisfaction looking good time

land of heroes

Hold up held  up
Left alone joy

Belief in forgetting:
Moving forward.

Imagine in your anywhere now of perfect income and intake releases feeling out grief and leaving the levy because it was dry

but I sure

Well we'll fall
Nowhere ever

Tomorrow wouldn't be too soon

Grow me like a tree
To use by birds and men

They're clothed like the fields

The way others are better near some certain others

Sailing. We should be sailing not singing kids!

The right thought out difference between harmony and peace

And hey! Kids! We should see where that fits
With joy thrown in the mix, kids

Hey are you, hey, hell, how, how have you been doing

Happy birthday

We could use a limb to lose

i don't really try

Hey held-not-too-close, hold on.

That would mean a lot to slow going me.

reminder of a serene motionless motion

Strange pets in a blanket then floating three feet above a rainy curb.
Where we become phone mentors and stubble confidants
We fly higher than the biting birds in black and white we can't remember.
Hey, hell, I've had enough and you too are on a never satisfied kick.
Stream me, it is me, me to you who fits a tattered coat on a stick.
Flick and feel outside, left in the dark triumphs of sitting still,
Still despite all the odds against hair of the dog reminder.
Reminded of a forward motion's serene changlessness

Led to water

Led to water
To
Drink to see
Multiple eyes
dance to lights

Whispy clouds

Moving morning to the day time
Hey well we meet just perfect

TIme we were getting down
Nit grit slothful savings
Account. Well waste

None of nada,
Tell me why
You fit me

There-then recline
With me being

Love me like a rock

Fifty percent aren't a danger and

Perfectly fine.

Yea, he's in,           ('Ready wants twenty-five out')
They're out.

Reclaim

Wether we will or will we not as it is go.

We all go together two by three,
Cling to reach our light commupance,
Legit once-was-us, hell, hold away

Hey hell now never mind.
I knew you of you years ago.
Fuck you. Hell I never thought

Some feeling

Held heaven closed down storefront home
Hell, give me a week.

What right do you hold in in-correction
Hell what do you and I know of us?

Matured trees' belief in the breeze
Hallways of correspondents leave

Stonework

The first time you take in rightly
You turn up &you
See uniformity in a color,
Cry a lessening sadness, a
Growing clear of down,
A steady serene

Slow down kids, lay low

Cold belly

Lies I've Told Myself

Lies I've told myself

Places of truth,
Of clean clarity to
Be in, taken
In soberly drinking
Clams clarity
Of what comes

Slow & clear

The urge to express
The needs falling
In place

Of all hope
Of places of calm
Of transit, to go

To be

In ideas and tombs
Of comforting thought


We reach together
Like the dead;
We take them
In, give them
Homes in us,
             Mastering
Their flow from
Us, getting at
Our same always
Goal of safe
Sense, somber
Joy, contained
In living tomes:
    In sound
    In word        & image
Movement       & interaction
With us        Apart &
Together


Lies I've told myself

Vanity's dream world.

Of knowing no opportunity
Is ever missed;
Only the movement of
Now Is New.

Here is where we
Are & will never
Be without a here
Until the hereafter

Now being
All we know
Being now

hope of fell flat

We feel light
In our head
We ask:
Will I be
Full forevermore ever?

I've personally never asked that
Of anyone.
 Are you kidding?
Who am I to ask anyone anything ever.
   I hold my hand on my head
& lean
        Never having
Worry 'bout people's flaking off of taking
                                               Care of
Each one an other

theyre wrong if they don't like you

To go to to go on and on to turn to you who know no one but see me few far flung between you and I and us

What became becomes us
Re-muddles then clears us us
As we are
Us as us us
As we will be

And that is that
And this is better than that

It's just this this
That is that that that is that

The late 60s

I sit huddled
Buzzing
Singing
Along

As I turn inside-out thinking
Of the possibilities of blanket

Disappointed People
Tired of hanging
Outside in the
Cold comfort,
Sentimentally
Singing distance
Knowing there
Hasn't been
Distance
Since

The late 1960s
