The First Thing I had to Give Up

it wasn't the worst thing,
it wasn't the most expensive:
most valuable
most prized
rarest, coveted, sought after, fought over
obsessed about, idolized, And
even it was not that useful,
or beautiful
or held in the highest regard;
but it was the beginning
and signaled the end
for me,
when I lost the key
to my personal cellar
located eighth floor
next to the orchids
at the Roosevelt Club Shanghai.

love poem

i don't think
i'd be alive
if someone didn't love me.
i don't think
i'd even care
to explain this lot in life.
if it wasn't for
the glory of
living this cycle in memory.
then there wouldn't be
a thing of me
to taste this air we breathe.

and mativation, momentary
materization, menantary
motion of the malaicious kind.

Space exploration in an international context offers a peaceful cooperative venue that is a valuable alternative to nation state hostilities. ---G. Scott Hubbard

i was a nothing
pure and done
with nothing but a dream
to b e c o m e,
i was a baby
born and due
to grow from that
into what i knew,
i was a child
ready to go
never slowing
didn't know,
i was older after
and older more
and grow older now
until i go,
from where I am,
which is never known.

when the birdsong
frames the twilight night
i stop my hurry, and observe the sky
my perspective wanders
like the moving stranger
i become newer
