Can’t Compute

If life is meaningless, why bother with opinions?
If we don’t care about life, why worry about death?

Congestion

Soaring through the sky, past the home
In the clouds, that I said would be sweeter
Than a fresh box of See’s chocolates
And warmer than a pine-filled stove.

The Privileged White Guy Exhibit

What to do while trapped in a zoo? When there’s a companion, undoubtedly, we screw. But what else is there while trapped in a cage?

I’m grateful for Nature’s beauty
But, when I dream, I create anew:
Flowers and trees unlike anything
