Incontinence

Something new
Stage left and down
New and measurable
In relation

A want of continence
No self with no restraint
Limitless we let go
More can not hold

Little found behind
Washed away before
We give things price
They have value

New geometry possible
More ways to balance equations
Multiple variables complex numbers
Imaginary one our world is based upon

It was easier to approximate the bottom
Build upon this unknown
Acting out
For there is no in

To create life
Giving value we pay a price
Wantonness
Abandon

Reaching out we are in
The future finds you
She did
You not risk losing guaranteed

Knowing is not doing
What can be is
There is confirmation all around
Life a positive feedback

One so much less
Not every desire can be restrained
From nothing can be lost
Future can be past in many ways

Incontinence of season
Wanton abandon of terms
Feeling thoughts
Thinking what they mean

Incontinence of reason
Justifiable everything you feel

Shepherds

Outside of outside
No further place to go
None to return from

Not alone
She is found most often in a crowd
Earrings are her thing

From another planet
To land on her
What you would see first

So the angels hang out on the edges
Found everywhere
Yet always there

Who left in some ways
They claim there title
Who would deny them

Herds and flocks they come in
To me they look all around her
One concern one time

Some will never be clean
Others are dirty
More by defenition

What would you do as an angel?
Who would listen to you?

Tree People

There were these years I talked them down
From a life unknown to me to one too well know
Scraping and surviving
No one gave them a chance

I had this translator Harun
He was the only of his kind here in Cleveland
He spoke my language which was forgiving
He spoke their language which I made demanding

You raise your hand when they asked if you wanted to go to America
Ha
From Kakuma or was it Dadaab
The latter older I imagined worse
Former enjoyed the sound of the name

But my translator told me what I knew
They lived different there
They told each other stories
They had no more time

There are no excuses for the refugee that makes it to America
Oh they work or someone they love does very hard
There's no way around here
The system goes in circles

So that was my first day it said they were tree people
I wanted to climb up with them
Oh to be a refugee in the great Zimbabwe

Supervoid

Only three billion light years away
One point eight billion light years across
The largest thing we've probably ever seen
Nothing all together

As you enter you lose energy
As you leave you gain
It grows larger
So you are colder and what we see

Only in a universe like ours is three billion near
Quite relatively
Colder than it should be
Disappointing

How do you find the shape of nothing?
Different results are given
Each a signature

In studying nothing
A chance to learn everything
How we go together

In contrast or paradox
Stable finds different meanings
While everything is so little

Present

I know 10,000 children in another country
I know 10,000 children in this county
There are some conclusions I have drawn
Not for everybody working with kids

They will keep you present
You can learn from books
Or they will teach you
They are not completely complex

A honesty there
They have nothing better to do

Bee

Because the ends are easy
We always start at the beginning
New year after new year after new year
More than one way to count

Before we find
Each thing is another
Eager new arrive

But they might not have come
Every start requires and end
Even if we just stop

Some people die in the middle
Expectations falling
Ends required the story to adapt

The idea not sufficient
To be shared along necessary
Nothing finishes
Ends fray and lead new places

Long journeys
Invent
Advent

Before

I have this idea
Canvas will reach any distance
The ones that really count

Legally you can make the world better
Always another way around
We are the end product
You well someone must ashram up
Each of us is as fault
Really we need to all win

There are things I have never thought of
Some come along and make me smile
