WHY??

Change - Why?

Daylight screw up time -

Savings. 

They call it saving

Who are they saving ?

They are messing around with 

TIME!! 

I know 

THEY are doing this 

Just to prove 

     THEY can 

Just to 

     Mess us up 

     And keep us 

     Off balance 

To more firmly establish 

THEIR power. !!!

It it illuminate? 

A conspiracy? 

Well -

     It certainly has to do 

With light 

     One hour more 

     Or less 

So now I think we should revolt 

We should all show up 

At the old time 

And refuse to change 

     Any clocks !!!

This clock 

That clock 

Digital 

     Or analogue -

From one time to the next -

The car refuses to divulge 

     It's secrets -

Thanks to Chevy engineers 

     (Or lack of) 

I now will never know 

What time the car is on 

Until I 

     Search through

     And find 

The owner's manual 

Under time 

Index ; clock 

Push this button how? 

A less user friendly way 

Has never been 

Devised. !!!

So I 

Am one whole flippin' hour 

Early 

To church 

Just so 

     THEY 

Can yet again 

     PROVE 

THEIR power!!!

The thirty year lunch

The thirty year lunch

Hi, how r u
What'z been goin' on?

Still dancin'
     Yeah . . .
How's the ranch?
How's the water?
     The well is old -
     From when the ranch was much
          Bigger
          Plenty of water -
But when it rains
If it rains
If it rains hard
     There will be mud slides and
      Flooding
This we know -
But watering
Isn't the same as rain
     The plants know the difference
     I can see
     Just in the yard
     The ground is so dry
           It pulls away our best efforts
           With the hose
And "they" have allowed
So much building
So many more condos
What were they thinking???
Except, of course, about
     Their own
Profit
Of course,
At our expense.

Quality of life
For all -
We all want
A place to lay our heads
At night
Some walls to keep out the
Fright
A gate, a small garden
     To sit in and contemplate
Grow -
A tomatoe plant
Or two

Please rearrange this system -
This monetary arrangement
Where the haves have more than they
     can ever use
And the have nots walk by
With shopping carts
     Piled high
Why ?

Not to take from anyone
Not to make the rich feel small
No
Not at all
For they do employ
And take the business risk
And already pay
So very much
To the government

So when r we gonna do
Lunch ?
We've been sayin'
We're goin' to
And that just doesn't
     Get it done -

The Library

-The library is quiet 

But the chair is hard

- the patron just beside me 

     Blows the nose with 

     Enthusiasm !!

There is a clock ticking 

In the hallway 

And time 

Has 

Slowed down . . .

This place must be 

A hundred years old -

Almost!

Note to self

Bring cushion

Next time -

And earplugs . . .

The librarian makes the rounds 

Every few minutes 

She may be lonesome 

     Sitting here 

All day with old books 

     And ghosts 

There must be 

     Ghosts . . .

Because -

This is not a public library but 

One which has much 

History of mysticism 

 And such

Madam Blavatsky must be 

Looking over us. 

Ascension

The cosmic wave 

From the core 

Of the entire galaxy

     Happened 

Ten minutes 

     Ago 

Darn 

Missed it !

This Ascension 

Is now in operation

Full bore 

As I drink my 

     Coffee . . .

We must work 

     Extra hard 

To find the light

     And share it

The powers that be 

     Might not 

Understand this 

     Because it is 

Within 

That it happens 

It is deep 

     In meditation that 

The blue light 

Becomes white light 

And I 

     Disappear 

Then there is only oneness

And bliss 

And I wish I could 

Stay there 

Forever 

But the old body creaks

     And the knees 

Squeak 

And I must 

Move about a bit 

Before I settle again 

To go again 

Towards the light 

     Within

Someone once said 

Something about -

If thine eye be 

Single 

Thy whole body 

Will be filled 

With light 

And 

He was 

Right !

Planet X

So it's begun 

The end of the world 

     For some 

Except that 

Yesterday was 

     The day 

Sept. 23. 2015!

A meteor or comet 

     Or Planet X 

Or

Something 

Without TV -

     Utube is just -

Weird

I must remember 

What it was like 

To read a book -

     All that work -

Of 

Turning pages 

     And such 

And 

Try to find something 

Good -

Interesting and 

Not too gross or 

Sad or scary

And well written 

Where is this author?

And why don't I read 

All the books around 

Here 

Now is the time 

To read these things 

I have been saving 

For 

Just such 

A time 

But there is a tango 

Dance 

Tonight 

And 

The world hasn't ended so 

I Might

Go

Prayer for today.

Help me. Help me. 

Please 

Save. 

From those dopey people 

Who want to 

Control me. 

Prayer for today. 

Bad Weather For Ducks

We all woke up

     Today hearing a sound 

Miraculous

And

Wonderful 

Rain

Actual rain

Water !

Falling from 

     The sky !

How it got up there-

     In order 

     To fall-

I'm not so 

     Clear on-

Condensation 

     "They" say 

. . . Ok

But the problem is 

     It quit

After I went out to see it 

And everything

Just a little bit -

Just a tease -

As our lawns are dying and 

Our reservoirs are drying 

We need it to rain solid 

For a week 

Like it 

Used to do 

I can remember when

Lakewood would 

Flood

- Most likely that is why "they"

Called it 

That

Adobe soil

Would create seasonal lakes -

That the ducks 

Would 

Sit 

Upon

There was enough open land 

Then -

Not so 

Anymore 

Where ?

Are the ducks 

Going to 

Sit -

To repose -

On their way north 

Or -

South 

Or - wherever 

They go
