It’s the same old song
In the morning I hear him singing
Late nights too on the front porch
I hear him singing
The shadow he cast on the sun
Long years between us
But with my mom, he is one
And I hear him singing...
Across the valley and to the river
I see her stepping in
I always walk to her to hold her tender
Cuz she loves from within
I hear him singing ...
Yea woman of mine
Rise and shine
Shine my day
Be my light
Give me a memory I won’t lament
He chose her everyday
How could he ever love again
I will always miss dreaming my dreams with you
You are mine and hers alright
I should have always loved you
right, yes, you are mine and hers alright

NEW YORK, NEW YORK
CARS WHOOSHING BY AND ACROSS
LIKE BLOOD IN A RUNNER’S VEINS
WHEELS TURNING AND HORNS BURSTING
LIKE A MELODY FROM ROOSTERS WITH CANES
POP.
AND THERE’S A MAN FINGERING A CHAMPAGNE CORK
HE IS A DIRTY HIPSTER AND A BOSS
BUT THOSE THREE WOMEN HOLD THE REIGNS
LOCK,
THEM UP.
THEY KNOW OF DORKS
AND OF THEIR STAINS.
BUT.
THEIR OWN GLOSS
IS OVER TEETH IN ALL SORTS OF PAINS
THEY DO NOT FLOSS
EVEN FROM PORK
ON A FORK
OH!
AT THE TOP OF THE ROCK
OF NEW YORK, NEW YORK

A curious pause
between two apt Delphians
who don’t know themselves.

Far away from home,
the robin flies alone, low
with a broken wing.
The Oracle of Delphi pronounced Socrates the wisest of Greeks; and Socrates took this as approval of his agnosticism which was the starting point of his philosophy: ‘One thing only I know’, he said, ‘and that is that I know nothing’. Philosophy begins when one begins to doubt — when one begins to question the accepted wisdom of tradition. Particularly the one’s cherished beliefs, one’s dogmas and one’s axioms.
Delphian inscription:
To be curious about that which is not my business, while I’m still in ignorance of my own self, would be ridiculous. And therefore I say farewell to all of this, but about myself.
