One of the best things after it rains is looking into a rain puddle.

Besides another human being
Besides material possessions and money
Putting all things aside and there is just yourself.......

momentarily this, momentarily that

an assortment of moments through time equaling nothing.

I awoke startled to the sound of the phone ringing
I answered dazed and confused and tried to hold a normal conversation
drifted off, half back asleep.
I awoke again to the sound of church bells and a dog's hoarse bark repeating and repeating.
I walked outside and felt the warm air hit my skin.
Its yellow outside, very yellow
..and still, very still; frozen-like.
The warm air on my skin,
and silence except for sound of church bells...
and the dog's bark.
Barely a breeze..
yellow outside,

Caught in an undertow

but finally for a moment I can think,
nourish my body... and maybe even sleep.

no moon no stars in sight...just alone.

watching

...the dead leaves fall.

Spaceship I'll take my chances take me away.

Find me at sea.

Shadows which quite possibly could be my own.

Is it them I see in the far corners of my vision... a hand.
Sometimes I feel like I've been gone and this is all
a dream while waiting in between.
Often I feel I've drifted or flipped from the hammock into an
alternate universe where all things are the same yet blurred...
I need some rest.

that figure you thought you saw in the corner of your eye.
that shadow you thought you'd imagined following you around that corner.
that stare you felt in the dark,
that presence you sensed at greenfield park.
that which made you suspect if something was behind that cypress tree.. was me
