"What?"
"I'm thirsty. Can you bring me a drink of water?"

Five minutes later: "Daaaa-aaaad..."
"WHAT??!!"

each of us afloat in a sea of infinity
wisdom being... perhaps

When I am old
I am in need of two diapers
one to protect my head from the sun
the other to cushion my bony ass

One summer evening during a violent thunderstorm a mother was tucking her small boy into bed. She was about to turn off the light when he asked with a tremor in his voice,   "Mommy, will you sleep with me tonight?"
The mother smiled and gave him a reassuring hug. "I can't, dear," she said. "I have to sleep with Daddy."
Little voice: "The big sissy."

It is a sign of the times
& a voice of the ages
I hear speaking, I hear calling
on the tongue of the wind
through the open of my window

A feather falling and a howling dog
a space between them
we have come to live
land of echoes, canyon, canyon
landing lightly, we learn to forgive

It was that time during the Sunday morning service for "the children's sermon," and all the children were invited to come forward. One little girl was wearing a particularly pretty dress and, as she sat down, the pastor leaned over and said to her, "That is a very pretty dress. Is it your Easter dress?"
The little girl replied, directly into the pastor's clip-on microphone, "Yes, and my Mom says it's a bitch to iron."

Bobby looked up and replied, "Well, Ms. Smith, you can't say you weren't warned."

There are times when
everything need be set aside
hostility and sorrow must abide
with unobtrusive hearts we seize
instant memories, moments of peace
