Make a Game of Life
In North Loup, Nebraska, where I spent my boyhood summers with my grandfather, the television pulled one signal out of the sky, channel 10/11, and when the picture dissolved into snow the day still had eight hours left in it. A boy in a town like that learns the oldest technology on earth. Boredom is a raw material. A long afternoon wants shape, and shape comes from rules: the stick is a bat because we agree it is, the crack in the walk is a foul line because we say so, the score matters because we decide it matters. Nobody sold us that afternoon. We manufactured it ourselves, on the spot, out of dust and agreement, and the dust became the best part of the summer. […] -

I survived six unbroken years of relentless skin hunger and daily torment without an easy out. Through brutal days of waking agony and nights of heavy, forced sedation, ignored and dismissed by the world, I am still here standing my ground.

Glitch
aeropuerta by kmlsflights are grounded
my wings are clipped
i need to wait a little
longer to start this trip
my future connection
could be in jeopardy
it might be a while
before we're set free
the whims of the divine
are all part of the plan
my life's trajectory is
not in my hands
so i will wait patiently
for the Control Tower's nod
and match my flight to the wind of an all-knowing GodAugust 15, 2015

Pace
Often I find myself stuck

between the slow
and the fast,
fitting into neither,
stumbling,
never finding
a comfortable
pace.
I am impatient
with those ahead of me,
whose slow progress
impedes my attempts
to reach my destination.
I am angry at those
pushing me from behind,
so concerned with
reaching their goal
that I am just another
obstacle in their way.
I must remember
that at times I have
been both.
It is the engine within,
not the speed of those
I encounter on the road,
that drives me to anger
and impatience.
O Divine Driver,
Grant that I might have a
more compassionate
awareness on this
journey.

The Silver Strand
returning
to the car
i see
a silver strand
intent on
capturing me
i was gone
but a moment
yet the spider
did spin
from the mirror
across the window
to lure
me in
it seems
this small one
dreams of
bigger prey
so too I
if to my path
I stay
this bit
of web
is a
flimsy thing
but if
I cast
it not
i snare
nothingJuly 2, 2016

Highway Adoption
The truck ahead of me has a bumper sticker that says “Stay in your lane.”
At first blush – good advice. But further introspection reveals a flaw. In truth, the lane I am currently in is not my own. Nor is the lane you are in yours either. None of us can lay claim to these streets. At least not individually. Contrary to popular belief, we are a collective.
Perhaps a truer bumper sticker is the one that says “Share the road.”
Namely, the entire road is for all. The lane I am in is not MY lane. It is available to anyone else who needs it. You are welcome in the lane I am in, and I hope that I am welcome in the one you are in.
Alas, too often I forget this truth. I am too quick with my tongue or horn and too slow with a kind gesture.
So come on over.
You are welcome here in this lane as well.
No schedule. No perceived deadline for my ETA. No stress or emotional attachment to the human construct of time. No amount of hubris or disdain.
Nothing is worth the destruction of a hospitable spirit while one is driving.

Patience is not simply the ability to wait, but the ability to maintain a good attitude while waiting.
