The Plan

My life in five acts
Born, gave life, lost self, awaiting death
The plan unfolded as planned?

Progress

Progress?
First came much anger
Then intolerable pain
Now I stand here numb


Note: Sometimes tears will not come. Sometimes they come and stay too long. I am not sure which is better.

Cat 1

Elusive Charlene
Which day is Cat Power Day?
I say any day

Pieces

Pieces

G-d won't save the Queen
Merely a pawn in life's game
Death beyond stalemate

No Flow

No Flow

Beyond all reason
Expectations never met
Waiting to exhale

Dots and Dashes

Black Dots
Making the next move
Connect the dots, draw the line
Safe. straight, and narrow


White Lines
Stay inside the lines
Boundaries are there to protect
confined but feel safe

French Haiku

Avoir mon cheri
Oui, ici et maintenant
Bon chance avec la vie
