Stoned in the Park

 Stoned in the Park  


there’s nothing more to do 

than put sun 

on our face 

on this beautiful day 


as the world slowly turns 

I didn’t turn 

on the news 

or even get dressed


I call out sick from work 

close your computer

we meet at the park

saluting the commuters 


you brought something 

to cheer me up

and I’ve got 

something for you 


we then 

take a walk 

as if the world

was brand new 


stoned in the park with you

a child with a balloon

lovers neck and neck 

joggers chased by a squirrel 


stoned in the park

what we need to do

to feel something like love

in a form we forgot how to use


you’ve got wine 

I’ve brought cheese 

minds start to spin

as we look at the trees 


follow the clouds

’til it starts to rain

recording everything

to remember Monday 


stoned in the park

what an obvious thing to do

sun and breeze float anxieties 

around the world

Non-Binaries

Non-Binaries never wrong nor right  neither black nor white  always poor framing  truth escapes while waiting    you I can’t deny I can’t explain “I” there’s another dimension  we’re always missing    easy solutions feel good  crushing doubts with boots  if nature only gave us straight lines  if god was on our side    it’s never green nor orange  look to the forests  subtleties you miss  haunt dreams in an embrace    not those ones and oh’s  didn’t write the code  swallowing contradictions  before they explode

  Mayor McGuffin We are products of our times  these thoughts aren’t mine  everything passes through us  from sewers to the divine  I vibe on your signal  you wave you particle  merge into a molecule  divide for reaction deaf dumb and blind  slaves to the grind  compressed coal hearts  exploited diamond mines we see through the veil  dancing snake-tailed  impatient for the end  skipping enlightenment  I drive this carcass  despite warnings  from weather service  to deliver you a package
