Warning Labels

"May have sharp edges."
"Made in a facility that also processes nuts"
"Contents under pressure"
"Eye Irritant"


We mock them when we know better.
We wonder what happened to put you there.
Who wasn't bright enough to figure that out?
Who was this warning written about?

Can goods, coffee and cooked foods
warnings for all of you are here.
Too bad YOU didn't have a warning too
Everyone should know about you.

"May have sharp edges."
"Made in a facility that also processes nuts"
"Contents under pressure"
"Eye Irritant"

Common phrases we see each day
Appropriate for you in so many ways.
Warning labels at their very best.
Would have saved me and all the rest

Right Here Right Now

Right here right now
I'm alive and well
Right here right now
I've more stories to tell

Right here right now
I've new roads to travel
Right here right now
I've new concepts to grapple


Right here right now
New possibilities are allowed
Right here right now
All my fears disavowed

Right here right now
In the sunshine I play
Right here right now
I'm grateful for this day

Exploration and Adventure

Anxiously awaiting another encounter
this time the games will be good,
You wanted creativity
That's exactly what you'll get from me
Hopefully you can do what you should.

Exploration and adventure
without societal censure
a chance for us to explore.

You wanted creativity
That's exactly what you'll get from me
Be ready now you've opened the door.

I've Always Seen The World This Way

Black and White

and

Shades of Grey

I've always seen the world this way

Concentric Circles

and

Crooked Lines

Randomly placed in a planned design

Help me determine

where

to draw my lines.

Black and White

and

Shades of Grey

I've always seen the world this way.

Labyrinths and Zeniths

side by side

No place for boredom

No place to hide.

Black and White

and

Shades of Grey

The edge of reality

is where I play.

Black and White

and

Shades of Grey

I've always seen the world this way.

Stylish, Simple, Smart

Stylish

Simple

Smart

My clothing

My rules

My heart

Stylish

Simple

Smart

A better reality awaits.

A joyful state

Which only you can create

Stylish

Simple

Smart

Live life this way and see

A difference in your attitude

An adjustment to your being

Trying

Tried to do it differently

but it all came out the same.

Tried to get ahead

but I've fallen behind again.

Tried to face it all head on

but turned the corner instead.

Tried to make a grand design

but  a wrench has been thrown in.

Tried to fight the current

but that's just a salmon thing.

Tried to knock it down

but got pushed out the ring.

Tried to taste the difference

but the flavor burned my tongue.

Tried to keep on running

but found out I'm not that young.

Tried the nose to grindstone

but it wasn't very fun.

Tried to live someone else's life

but it never felt quite right.

Tried so many different routes

but I haven't found  the one.

Tried and failed and tried some more

But I know I'm still not done.
