Missing remote controllers

she wishes to be half as naive as me

innocence but innocence that comes naturally

in this complicated world with a lot of selfish people

Innocence that you have to cling to as an ideal.

stuck in a world she struggled to win

and fight as I did for forty years and other places.

innocence leading children into a beautiful world

where that they can be happy like

I think she feels happy being with me

and losing her self in my innocence

but just as it's a struggle for me to face reality

things in a conventional way

protect myself

without becoming anybody's meal ticket l ticket

On the Road Again

See Live First Rendition Here If I say it once, I’m thinking aloud. If I say it twice, I probably like the sound. Three times said, you know I’d be glad. When the fourth time comes, she’d better run. I take the fifth for what I’d do If my desires don’t come true. Multiplied by ten, I’m on the road again. Life is too short to be faking All the love we should be making. When I picked you out, you knew what to do, When you chose me, you certainly could see I wasn’t one who’d regret what I’d done Following the world around the sun, That’s how it was back then. Now I’m on the road again. We never should retire when life inspires. Never look away when love comes to play. It’s better to feel wanted than taken for granted. Plants need watering to grow where they are planted, Or else they wither and blow away, Scattering seeds somewhere another day, Another place conductive to stay, A place to grow a new stem, I’m on the way; on that road again. It is no use sitting around and wond...

Biking Taitung and Beyond

Waves crash the shore at every bikeway spur fisherman wondering if they'll catch more surprises to the menu like paths of Taitung that lead around the city might catch something unexpected on abandoned railroad lines that cross downtown streets as we cycle discovering what is pretty with no destination out of reach, locally we move on byways and paths and dream of overseas rides into black forests and Amsterdam streets Moroccan tundras American Appalachian trails British Wessex Hardy excursions and Paris Versailles in the French Countryside riding discovering like climbing peaks for no other reason than that they're there so we go and watch the trees bending saying hello on paths on Taitung city roads And when we return to home body studying languages, expanding horizons, Dutch and Mandarin, English and French on a desk in a study or living room on the internet with friends oh the daily life of simple people living and loving without greed or contempt is the life I choose to fo...

The Mantra of the Air Con

The mantra of the air con When I call on it to brisk me Wakeful eyes stare at bedroom skies It comes alive with wishing sounds Of the coolest oscillation in my head The smooth machine friendly bed partner When I'm alone with the light red Oh it is winding up the spiral helix Rising the whistle of excitement As I lie grabbing anything too cold To not let me fall through the soggy bottom Of lukewarm loneliness and despondency Sharing the platform with freedom and liberty Going hand in hand with my singularity How wonderful it would feel to wrap My arms around your wing'ed flaps Touch your goosebumped body As air con envelops us in a cocoon Makes us smooth, sleek Your breath in my ear not cold or metallic But pleasing and steady with regular humanity The steady hum of the air con turns me on Back up through the stages I descend Cool air heights of the pen in hand Living in t...
