is, too.

Poem
Nowhere else
People have their opinions.
Regulars. Irregulars.
Experts. Assholes.
If no one knows,
except they agree that
everyone and everything is different …
(every one
((( and )))
every thing)
If no one knows,
then you decide.
You get to. You have to.
Truth may be already knee deep.
Because you said so.
You agreed.
Choose your feel better.
Go ‘all in’ like there’s
nowhere else.

Poem
The end of the old Zen poem says: above all, don’t wobble.
And here’s a place for me to say that maybe wobble is the way.
This What
This is
EXACTLY
What
No More.
No Less.
Just This.

A Poem Perhaps
In the Zone
We might often
preface this by
stating I Am.
Yet the zone appears
as a weather event and
the I shelters in place,
the am hanging on
for dear
life

A Poem Perhaps
Hot or Cold
It is not so much
that it’s hot or cold
but a number on a
thermometer and
you have to decide.
Get to. You get …
to decide.
Hot or cold?

Poem
There and Here
To say there is enough,
makes it sound like
it is elsewhere.
There.
What if we say
here is enough
and feel it?
Here.
And don’t get me
started on when.
Go ahead. Guess.
Now.

Poem
Inadvertent projections.
The River with reverence.
I drove over it, on a bridge,
in a car. I did not wade in it,
swim in it, fish, float, boat.
Once I skipped some stones,
plooching one for a dead friend.
Wrote a poem and a song.
I walked alongside getting
misty and sand in my shoes.
I am forgiven and carried along.

239 MM means that
in the middle of page 239 there

My Weather Map
Some storm was coming
weeks ago and you, being
west of me, Westby, etc.,
were getting a little bit first.
Anyway, just fyi, along with
others I remember daily, I put
your close-by town name on
my weather map.
(Farmington, Wilmington,
Playa Del Rey, Austin,
Scottsdale, Cashton,
Janesville, & Milwaukee)
