"The Computer"

Show me the world
Let it unfold
I’ll not say goodbye
Until the day I die


It’s hard to resist
When will I desist
This electrical screen
With all its gleam


One day I’ll fall to dust
For all it’s a must
I’ll be gone
Yet this computer lives on

“Sandy”

Cast along the Sandy shore
Driven by the winds of lore

Wrinkling,
Wrinkling,
Brown of hue
Falling
Falling
Far from new

Little leaves;
Tired Trunks;

Tiny Trikes;
Big boy bikes;


All a falling

"Dearly Beloved"

Dearly Beloved
What can I say?
Nothing in the world seems to go our way

Dearly Beloved
Back in the day
Those little things, they had more sway

Dearly Beloved
We were okay
To each onlooker, perhaps even gay


Dearly Beloved
What can I say?
Those things on delay
For each we must pay

Dearly Beloved
Back in the day
If I were only a shining ray
And you a flower of May

Dearly Beloved
We were okay
Now you're out by that bay
And here I just lay


Dearly Beloved
What can I say
Back in the day
We were okay

Dearly Beloved
I'd like to start anew...
Dearly Beloved...

How about you?
