When you go crazy
Can I come too?
For I melt a little
At the sight of you,
And if we could
get face to face,
I could get sucked in
To your warped space
And let the orbit begin.

But what with the spinning
And gamma rays,
I can't be held for what goes and what stays,
But maybe we could have some fun?
Maybe we’ll dance,
Maybe we’ll run,
Or maybe we’ll just lie on our backs in the sand
and look down
On the earth
And the sun?

The Apocalypse 

The hawks moved into our neighborhood,
And slowly, but surely, the squirrels disappeared.
Finally there were only two, and it was left up to them to repopulate the world.
They considered this the upside to the Apocalypse,
And got to work on it right away,
And now it's kind of got me thinking,
One could learn a lot from a squirrel.

If you look a long time at dog poop,
You might get dung in your eye,
But if you look a little longer,
And get a microscope,
You could  get a phd
And write a treatise
Regarding the entire inner mechanics
And digestive works of the canine.

Store up for yourselves great Love Abundances
During the spring and with Summer Hay,
So that when Winter turns with its scarcity
You can withdraw deposits from May
And breathe deep floral bouquets of tender
Loving words and smiles and care,
So when you close your eyes you'll see
That Love never dies, that Love is still There,
Always loving you.

I fight the urge of first response
To be angry and ugly.
A fire that burns across the short-grass plains of my own discontent
Is slowly snuffed by a gentle rain
Of a greater hidden quiet urge
To be beautiful and big
And happy.

And eventually even this black moment 
Will disappear in the lively green of new growth
And understanding 
But I will ever be thankful for it.

Now I'm gonna show my age.
My favorite cassette tape to play in my car
Was one I recorded on my little gravadora cassette-recorder radio.
A disco show every Friday night
From 98.3 outta San Antonio!
Hot chocolate to the soul!
Makin your drive home worth it!
Makin you wanna go out after and work it
To the tune of you should be dancin!
You dropped the bomb on me, baby!
And George benson's give me the night!
Makin everything outta sight
All right!
And good enough!
Makin it all to the tune
Of love!

And while I'm sittin here waiting for 3 2 1,
So I can skip this ad on YouTube
To hear a little rhythm and blues,
I'm thinkin I sure wish I still had that old cassette recording
And something ta play it on,
Because even it's ads we're good.

It's a beautiful night,
And the velvet of it is reflected
From somewhere deep in the black of your eyes.
The window is open
And the night has crawled in.
It curls up on your pillow,
But it wants to yawn,
And in a minute it will.
It will stretch out to take over the bed
About the time I ease down over you
And let my nipple drop into your open mouth.
