lit up like a lamp
microcosm jeweling
jigsawing puzzling
ancient tribes and fears
limited only by unsight
universe nipping around the edges
lightening the corners
unlimiting the freight

true
or false
oh no
dough dough
it is
true and false;
bin
Laden is guilty.
this
is not a war about religion.
it is
about
learning
to love the enemy
even
the enemy of the self
fear
thus not daunt us
only
by example
will
we set ourselves free

November Evening
everything is closer than I think
sun's hydrogen in the water that I drink
the voice in the shadows hiding
radio waves while I'm driving
pick it up
put it down
turn around
the world's still there
pick me up
put me down
go to town
the world's still there
everything's closer than I think
a nod to a blind horse that blinks
the time of my life that's coming
with waterfalls and drumming
pick it up
put it down
turn around
the world's still there
prop me up
drop me down
let it go
the world's still there
