Total Stranger

In the rain we meet,
A tiny feast is taking place.
We should have done by now with harmless feelings.
Keeping quiet is not a crime.
Too much noise is never enough and yet,
We keep on trying to escape the narrow path of life.
As visitors, we are told that we are not allowed to play.
Like a Trojan horse we work,
Witty minds are dangerous.
Bullets are penetrating the iron glass of our confident ego.
No proof is necessary.
Too much work will make Jack a dull boy.
Too much love is dangerous.
Day by day we magnify you.
My deepest condolences for your family's loss.
I can’t find comfort in your words.
We can raise our glasses and make a toast.

Oh stranger…please come back.

A little piece of me

I'm the miniature monkey,

I live between concrete walls.

I promise you will find some good stuff here.

Sensational puppetry can be phony.

Impossible circumstances are the frame.

Wise fool, lovely and cynical.

Vanity and pride are often mistaken for insanity.

Spontaneous disaster demands a quick response.

piece of me longs for the days when Saturday meant laughs and walks in the park.
