you are wrong
to record your life
as it happens
to video
and snap
and live
don't waste
your time
documenting
be there
in the moment
at that moment
revel
dance joyfully
in its presence
you are wrong
to record your life
as it happens
live it

Stop and Drop and Roll Away
They are driving me
to spend more timeand money
and attention
on entertainment
because
they keep doing things
that makes me mad
and irritates
and angers
me constantly
and
I can only handle so much
before I have to stop
and drop
and roll
away
December
December is bittersweet
bitter memories of people passed
sweet experiences with people present
You have to take the bitter with the sweet
or all that's left is bitter.
Cost
When I am gone
Don't spend your time
Thinking of me
The cost is too high
The past is past
The present too valuable.
Blank Eyes
While blank eyes stare at me from across the room
My poetry flows easier than their thoughts
Human Condition
The human condition will be the death of humanity
Our inability to understand life outside our experience is so human
We have so far to go
yet we have so little ability to grow
We can't see ourselves as valuable life forms
What hope do new life forms have?
I Stood in the Snow
I stood in the snow
and remembered
sledding
and snowballs
and hot chocolate
and cold, wet clothes
and it is sad
to think
this part of my life
has been over
for so long
I stood in the snow
and remembered
Holidays
The holidays are hard
now that my parents are goneand my grandparents
Each year it seems I have one less placewhere I feel at homeSnow Day Sick Day
Snow Day
Sick Day
I am at home
either way
I don't understand
I cannot say
should I be glad
or should I be mad?
I am at home
either way
It sucks to be sick
I really must say.
