I’m most tired of wishing

  —when hope turns to pain

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: June, 2016)

Life…

 forever promising more

 

Death

  —its own reward

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: June, 2016)

 

 

It’s not what you put on

 but what you take off

 

Each trapping a hangman

 —and choking its cost

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2019)

Everyone wants to teach

 until that day of learning comes

 

No longer needing to find themselves

 in accolades, praise—or love

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2019)

 

Prosthetic language can never fix

 a Poems broken joints

 

Only inspiration can set

 the break for sure

 

Crutches and canes to prop up verse

 severely disappoint

 

Perception falling on its face

 —a crippled lost poseur

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2019)

The 4^thdimension,

 space and time

 

Godel agreed,

 Einstein opined

 

If set in motion,

 the future passed

 

Time self negated

 —its truth recast

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2019)

 

 

 

 

Many fuels create the heat,

 but one temperature reigns supreme

 

Many fuels create the heat

 —but one temperature frees the light

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2019)

Our brains push away

 as humanity pulls

 

Cerebrum benighted

 —emotion to school

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2019)

 

Truth thrives in contradiction

 the difference sharply honed

 

A neither nor redemption

 as zero-sum is known

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2019)

Can you imagine something

 beyond your conception

 

Can the truth hide from view

 exposed in plain sight

 

Can you forget to remember

 or remember to forget

 

Is all darkness misleading

 —the safe harbor of light
