What can I write when my mind has gone blank? A string of words won’t make a sentence, or a paragraph too. I fiddle with thoughts and type blindly away Then the next thing I know, I’m thinking of you. Just how was the drive to the heart of LA, Did the car run smooth, was the traffic insane? Were the people you met as nice as expected? Surely they saw you were adept and connected. When you got home the dogs howled and jumped up Oh please fill up our bowl and top off our cup. Then Bailey will arrive like a tornado from Kansas And she’ll take her water colors and paint you a canvas. So when the time comes to lay your head down for your rest You will know in your heart you gave it your best So I have run out of words and I am left all askew And find my mind filling with thoughts: the wonder of you. Kiss Bailey good night and pat those two pooches And imagine you’re getting my famous tress smmmoooccchhhesss.

The rapture was on prowl to get the believers. You knew what you should not have known about the baby blue. Aphasia, experiences an impulsive violence, beyond the dead. Bionic hands to capture the moment of swapping uremia with swastika.
I never knew that one day would be there When I would ask my existence from you One day I would beg you to apply vermilion on my forehead To name my child, to change my identity.. One day that
