lost
can’t find
should be there
could be my mind
found

my old mind
a beautiful thing
when used well

Poem:

it is not the yets that worry me it is those darn agains that scare me sober never again crying over a lost church key sweating booze, that terrible body odor
it all started by falling off my father’s knee never again to have a debilitating hangover never again to go on a weekend spree gagging at the sight of the pizza that was leftover
it all started when the first wife divorced me never again having to be the one to disagree never again to tell the officer that he was wrong can’t believe that the jail cell bars are that strong
so I haven’t been institutionalize yet, why worry never again being sorry and having to lower oneself so I haven’t died yet, why worry never again having to think about killing myself
never wanting to feel that way again, I worry the only again I want is to go to another meeting so if you will excuse me I’m in a hurry due to covid-19 there will be limited seating .

Poem:
.
the gentle flower succumbs to the violent storm
the egomaniac orchestrates a horrible holocaust
God and man their wills to perform
self satisfaction sought at any cost
in God’s universe evolution cures all ills
man’s world requires some recapitulation
while many succumb to the need for pills
imagine a world with only one nation
too many questions, never enough answers
will the truth be something different tomorrow
will the soul submit to cancers
is there some time that we may borrow
today let’s choose to be positive
every day is a good day to be happy
have faith that anything is possible
that the cure for everything will be chocolate candy
gratitude that you have the time to share some love
aware that your blessings come from above
