Professor Brint was 30, when he built his best invention:
The Chrono-Car, and used it to explore the fourth dimension.
He revved it up, and traveled back through 23 years’ history,
And then the engine used up all supplies of his magistery.
Now trapped back when his childhood self had only just turned seven,
And frequently thrown out those brown [...]

As I watch you walk away ..
You in your gray sweatshirt contouring your familiar shape
deliberately confident with each echoed step you’d take.
While my heart has lost a home I still set you on your own..
Watching you board that modern bird
where will it take you and
have you heard?
The song we used to sing every time the [...]

By Heart 4 poetry on April 5, 2009
Each day is getting harder
and it’s easier to sin.
I can’t keep my mind straight.
I can’t seem to win.
I’m doing things illegal
and i’ve turned into a liar.
Everything is different
and I’m falling in the fire.
I can’t seem to stop
everything I’ve done.
There is no where to hide;
No where to run.
I’ve fallen with the world
and all of its [...]

Present Day
It was the first Monday in weeks when I was not in office before ten. As I saw the frosted sundial of my old citizen ticking eleven thirty, I cursed myself for the umpteenth time for choosing that insurance company. I found out that the other companies did not require so many tests after [...]

Is it enough
that were young and strong..
Turning and spinning..
Trying not to fall.
Looking at wisdom written on the wall.
Closing our eyes seeing it all.
Hold on it’s gonna be
a long flight..
If we think we have nothing but might.
We put on the silent smile
Hoping to shout…
A word
pronounced-
Without.
The many tears
falling all around you for all those years.
Is it enough [...]

It doesn’t take much
Your voice floats up from the street
Echoing in the emptiness
The moon looks down
It could be Athens, you hiding in the
Martble garden outside the women’s quarters
One quick whisper sent up to me
Eching in the empty coldness
The moon looking down
Like the moon to earth, I, so drawn to you,
Whispering back with kisses spilling with [...]

Familiar cafe could be anywhere
I sit in the backstreet of the bazaar, Athens
See your lips forming my name
As you race down the hill, face glistening
From your long day’s songwork under an actor’s mask.
Having left the women’s quarters disguised as a
Manservant, I tremble in this unscheduled secret
Spring fast into the crowd, into your arms
Run with you [...]

“Look at this ink-blot and what do you see?”
“Men in white jackets are coming for me.”
“Some see a rainbow and some see a ring,”
“God only knows, I don’t see a damn thing.”
“Look a bit closer and what can you tell?”
“Lock me up quick ’cause I think I’m in Hell.”
“There is a story or there is [...]

I went for a walk, as I did each morn,
I picked up the mail which was always the norm,
A letter, a bill and two lousy flyers,
One for insurance and one selling tires.
Nothing seemed special, all was the same,
I looked a bit closer and saw something strange,
A black and white envelope there in the rack,
I scooped [...]
