Steady Go

We’re supposed to be calm through all this
Act unaffected
Not try to reverse-spin the Earth on its axis
In an attempt to double-see the bizarre we saw
To test it against the age-old version of gravity
And ask the person standing next to us
Did we see what we just saw?
Memorialize. What. We. Just. Saw.
For posterity
Meanwhile, let the shadows call us crazy
Don’t ask them about truth

As
beautiful
crazy
does
evermore 
feel,
guess
how
I
just
know
love
means
nicely
opening
people’s
quirks
reading
someone’s
thoughts
under
very
wild
Xanadu
“You”
zen?

Guess.

New York Love

For God’s sake, all you owe her life
To never question her true stripes 

The thrill of revving two-wheeled spree
A swing, the stars, the moon times three

Your constant annoyed adoration
Ice cream kisses, consolation

What if the mirror told
I was no longer there
Taken, stolen, gone, away
Would you think to care

Would you put up
‘Lost Cat’ flyers
On tall trees 
From here to there

Would you seek me 
Desperate
For my marching
In your hair

If the warm winds took me
To pillows that allow
My sleepy and my crazy
Would you miss my meow

Tell whether you would fight the winds
For each of our nine lives
To bring me back, once and for all
And marry my green eyes

Next in the dream-come-true
After all the gathering
And the love
And the rest
Dr. Maya waived me back
Knowing look in her eye
Yes on your test, she crooned
Miracle as it is in this advanced media age
Despite the education and planning and all
But there was that hope
Then the faith
Congratulations
What will you name it
