our sexuality

that which divides us

and makes us what we are

three women in my life

one was called bea

one was called terri

and the third was also called terri

man

the naked ape


just some thing to be

the lost romance

what a place to be


where marjory miller wound up

with her mother

pisces

pisces is the key to the universe

aquarius is the gate


if you happen to be here

on the planet we call earth

old fashioned houses

old fashioned houses
and trees all around
no rumble of engines
a beautiful sound

i stand here in silence
my heart filled with joy
for i had not seen it
since i was a boy

most don't remember
it just slips away
but i can't forget where
i learned how to play

the summers in clover
that filled me with glee
the house that we built
in that old maple tree

the girls of my youth
they were gentle and kind
the peace of those days
is now so hard to find

it don't seem to me
that we've made the world better
all mapped out and
planned to the letter

perhaps we'll remember
in time what we lost
what we tore down and changed
at a terrible cost

once life was free and
we all breathed clean air
nature was loved and
we knew how to pair

but that was another time

aries and libra

the me

and the we


then there is where we are


the who we are is the holy grail


and we all have to find our own way

children

the children require the opportunity

to find their own way with their self

which is no longer permitted

in our little world


the natural what i call the design code

is being overridden by thought

and awareness is not a product of thought

but confusion and conflict are

facing your self

if you aren't able to face your self

you won't be able to face me

openness

openness to what we call out there

and openness to what we call in here

is what we will come to call being alive someday
