SLO Train

 

took the train from SLO

to Los Altos

not a bad time

to sit and dine

read and snooze

a bit of booze

and just like that

we skinned the cat

 

 

 

 

Truth

 

Can you tell a friend the truth?

not so often if you

want to remain friends.

Can you tell a child the truth?

we could but rarely

instead we tend to tell tall tales.

Can you tell a spouse the truth?

most of the time, but

be ready for the consequences.

Can you tell yourself the truth?

in small doses only

to maintain composure and equilibrium.

 

On a Mission

 

Let me tell you something,

I am more involved than ever,

more relevant

Now it’s personal, family and

compressed attitude that

I can’t waste energy, effort, psyche–

not enough time to fool around,

so out of my way

I don’t mean to be testy, but

it’s not happening if I don’t

make it

Trying is everything
