I Don’t Have An Answer For You

all people
perform different actions

some believe
some will never believe

all the time wasted
and misused
and bled
and forgotten

when do we get to the bottom of it
when will it release
how do we find purpose.

Alone In Kentville

it must be
a lonely night in Kentville
if you come around enough
to understand the deal

everyone wishes you well
and is thinking of you
all the joy and fine words
you’ve delivered

just relax
there’ll be plenty of jello
and poor tv
when you wake

I’ll meet you on the first tee.

It’s Friday And It’s Raining

all they want for xmas
is a warm place
to rest

and let their minds rest
and their children rest
if they’re still alive

take refuge
from the heavy rain
because there’s no
stopping it

I promise
it may
never end.

Ruth And Airplanes

I should have made it
but you
could not wait
for my arrival

the people
and preferred seating
got in the way

I love you
I always have

I will be there
someday
understanding
what you left us for.
