“Fine weather, if you’re a duck!”. That’s what I used to hear when the rain came down in buckets (ouch!) full. It is a sarcastic statement but, in a way, true. It was raining yesterday, off and on, in the manner of. I am an interested observer and noted that my neighbours had better fixContinue reading “Ducks and Rows”

Piano Lesson
Tiny vibrations crowdthe roof’s peak,slide downand splash across new-leafed trees,midpoint of the half season. In the beholder’s eye,colour is rich yet,a wet thing whoselayers are exposed,shady green under excited yellowunder washed out, delicate blue. A human, passive witness andamateur scientist,imaginary note pad in hand,tries to understand this,perhaps as sheaves ofimpossible music,wondering,“Who authored bliss?” God justContinue reading “Piano Lesson”
A Photograph of St. Aubin Street, July Twelfth, Nine-thirty P.M.
Everything the camera can see, it doesn’t showabout this ordinary street that wasn’t quieta couple hours ago.In foreground, one door hangs from a last hinge,another sprawls on the front porch floor,echoing that hearts were singedeither by love’s impromptu riotor shattered in methodical warover that smashed-to-bits radio. On the lawn’s barren husk,up against commerce’s concrete wall,withContinue reading “A Photograph of St. Aubin Street, July Twelfth, Nine-thirty P.M.”
A New Way

Bleah…
April 25, 2022 A dreary, chilly rain day today. I got my groceries, produce, fruit and the like. The young feller at Carl’s Produce had an odd look today, his hair was like Don King’s. I can see he is a handsome cuss underneath that shock of hair. I like the way shock works inContinue reading “Bleah…”

Government and Rights Where does my front yard end and your front yard begin? Since there are two of us, at least, we must come to an agreement by some means. Shall we vote and elect a third party to oversee the question? In order for there to be an understanding or any sort ofContinue reading “April 20, 2022”

Music and Musing Y’see, the problem about staying away from Facebook is: I don’t have a place to put my random thoughts about things. I miss that. Today, I am sitting, thinking, superficially drinking a cup of tea and musing about playing music. How nice it would be if someone tied some tech to theContinue reading “April 19, 2021”

I wrote a short poem about birds but it wasn’t about birds. The poem was about perspectives and points of view. How does a bird feel about flying? I know how flying looks from my point of view but how about the bird’s? Isn’t flying a work-a-day thing for birds? Typical diary entry: Got up. Continue reading “March 14, 2022”
Chicken Feed
My birds have been busy, are resting now. Earlier, there was buzzing of roof tops in a fast game played before the day got too hot. The birds play, I have work and do not. I call these my birds and watch but don’t feed them. They seem to flow past the window on whim,Continue reading “Chicken Feed”

It is more than three years since I have had a cold or flu of any kind. I guess that social distancing and mask-wearing have made the difference? It almost has to be so. I used to have at least one cold in every season. My supposition is that those who are still protesting vaccines,Continue reading “March 9, 2022”
