because invisibility is an option.
even if one is only pretending.

if i close my eyes
they wont see me

he had tangible dreams

he had
tangible dreams
he had
left barren
he sought
refuge in still
more of the
intangible
because
tangible dreams
take flight
because
he had
dreams which
now only haunt

in the house of silence

we explore hidden places
wondering what to do
with misplaced socks
where the worn soles
expose the scent
of stinky feet

*
barren sniffs reclaim...
perpetual invisibility
this is what time invites.
in the house of silence
where the sound of
the child
no longer brings on
the lightness
the ease of day

...really not finished melodies.


god save the aging


god save the aging, originally uploaded by SLP....

in dialog with my brother
he said---its too dark
thereafter brought more light
he thought it was improved.

i reversed things to the shadows--
its more comfortable there--
snuggled between hope
and temporary realities.
resting in silent repose
between paradise lost
and attendance for
Paradise restored.

the dream sans neil young

i had this dream last night

i was running from a caddy
and crawled up a building..
breaking through the facade--i stumbled upon
some photos...this was one of them--but it featured neil young.

the day dads doctor done brung him lifes dues





I dont know if i'll ever get out of this town.
the retirement state -- valley of guns and ammo at discounted prices.
Where huge SUVS and Pickup trucks run cyclist over as their right

the aging --just get cells that demand a lock-down -
the aging-- as much as we'd like to deny--bring us with them
to this southern state of  still dreams and heat

finding us  --wonder ...wander ...
pining for home....
neither here nor there

II
theres no muse --even myself--feigning muself
the lie i tell  -over and over again.
truth be told...
theres no life here--no where to go
too hot--too empty --too deprived of the urban pulse
that generates inertia to claim life

to live.

neither here nor there
neither here nor there
neither neither neither
