Is Monday a good day
to lie to Me?
Or can You wait
’til Tuesday?
I think it’s better
that way
‘Cause I don’t want to
act the way I do on Sunday

Public Housing
The patients are down
and fine
Medicated to ease any tension
nighttime sees the ghost town
the dwelling was built on
As the sun rises,
the vampires and groundhogs
come back to life
Some spirits don’t mix with others
Yet, they know they fit in
somehow
by way of ingesting their medication
to ease the tension
of becoming ghost whisperers
It’s Syracuse, New York. What a sunset!

For My Elderly Parent
To My Elderly Parent
I realized listening was what was needed
Should I interject at any point
It would change the momentum of the reminiscing
Do I really need to feel how this person felt?
Just because I am from their loins,
am I obligated to show compassion?
But, I realized listening was what was needed
Moments of silence
And I listened
And when the apologies for taking up my valuable time
started,
I realized listening was what was needed
affirmations, confirmations, delivered out of respect,
more poised on trying to stay in tune
Soon, like a quantum leap
we are back to today
And, “I Love You” is always heard
How the Pandemic affects us All
How the Pandemic affects us All differently.

The Beauty of it All
Time means nothing
when You have no watch
Sight means nothing
when You fail to see
Power means nothing
when You have no support
Love means nothing
when You don’t have a heart
Desire means nothing
when passion alludes
Dates mean nothing
when You live care-free
A name means nothing
if it is not used
A mind is a terrible thing to waste
when the soul is being abused
A mirror can mean everything
If You like what You see
It’ll let You know something is off
If You don’t let it be
Is this VN BALBOA coin real?


Cruel World
Cruel World
This World is so cruel
We’re all on the food chain
that somebody placed somebody
in charge of
just so they can survive
We’re all animals in the food chain
How long should a Zebra live
before it is taken down?
Even the birds pluck from the ground
There’s always something or someone
looking down on us
Even on their level, they still command.
Even in death, something or someone is
in-charge to put us away
Everything needs to be put away
sometimes, out of its misery
Purple Cabbage
It is such a joy to have residents want to come into the Garden of Health. It is even more fulfilling to have them want to take vegetables home with them to enjoy.
The Purple Cabbage is so intriguing. Because of its color and texture, many stop and ask if it’s real.
