A Trio This Time

Rapids and All
If the world is a land of dreams
With shifting sands and streams
of consciousness
Then let’s shift with them
And ride them—
rapids and all—
Together until...
Now

Struggle
I struggle with my own mortality
Don't want to leave
Don't want to be
Dead
Ceasing to exist
Missed or not missed,
doesn't matter to me.
My ego won't see
That to die is to be
Free from constraint
And the taint of this world
Where struggle is the order of the day.

I struggle with my own mortality
My brain knows that my energy
Cannot die
just transform,
food for worms.
But the me that is me,
that is, my personality,
will not survive
when my body dies…

And it's kicking and screaming.


The Clock, A Leash
The clock, a leash,
a merciless master.
Mankind’s Frankenstein—
despite Einstein—
Chronologic disaster
(Ticking faster and faster).
