Bullets

                            Let's pull the trigger.
                            Let the bullets meet
                              in the middle.
                            Nah, it ain't gonna kill us,
                               but it just might
                               hurt alittle.
                             Let's reach for something out there...
                                something we still hope
                                  to feel.
                             Then we'll talk about recovery
                                and give the
                                bullets
                                time to heal.

It's 1pm in Nairobi

There's hope.
There's still time. 
There's enough time to turn this thing around.
There's songs to sing.
There's conversations awaiting
There's this
and
There's that
and
There's more.

It's 1pm in Nairobi.

Mao's Breath

There was romance and
heartache
in the alley
when  darkness
 encountered
 innocence.
There was guilt and redemption.

She called it Mao's Breath.

Passage to Graceland

              I read an article about the death
                             of an Arab.
                    Then I imagined myself
                            dating a  Jew.
                I stood in line for admittance
                      to a place they called
                              Graceland.
                              I hesitated
                           and wondered
                   " what would Elvis do? "
