Fear and Fearing

Is it so bad
you found out I’m
stark raving mad,
at least part-time?
Or could it be
how you now see
that you are, too?

Changes in Taste

I used to be,
how would you say…
a maple tree!
On a spring day!
Sweet syrup sap
dripped from the tap…
Now, I’m a lime.

How We Measure

I’ve heard the thought
life will go on
whether or not
we’re here or gone
What we endow
depends on how
we play today

So in the end
the love we share
will help transcend
places we err
and memory
of you and me
could be happy
