sounds like the waiting room before an acid trip

A tremulous place of anticipation and dread,
suspicion the colours are changing, are they changing?
What is the sound of a silent train arriving?
Apparently, I’m to depart. I’ve been informed
I have a ticket. I seem to have forgotten
I was holding onto it all this time. It’s true,   
I’ve been elsewhere. This is the place.
Waiting is often more than waiting
as the train arrives and takes off without you.
Wait! I’m on the train! The train is beautiful,
colourful, delicious, it’s singing, it’s alive!
Why are there flowers growing through the train?
Is this a train of thought? Is this thought
a train of flowers? Where am I?! The answer
to that question is right in front of you,
read the sign, “Waiting Room”.
That’s where you are, problem solved.

Let Go Donald Let Go!

Don’t matter what USA say
Donald can change it anyway
If he don’t like it
he won’t play
see where that leaves you
Mr. and Mrs. Yesterday
You’re so loser

spring storm

blue grey opal shoals of storm blow
tonight though it is still pink pearl dusk
and each obsidian shadow a life of its own

Mountain of birds

The very moment when all goes wrong
the thought who will pay, how will this be fixed
pale beside the sight of the mountain of birds.
The innocent, slain, built into a burial heap,
what’s wrong, in your life, with your lie?

_pray Foam

Driving home
I follow a truck,
written on its back
“_pray Foam,” and I think
