If love 
were parts
of day
I fall
at dawn 
and dusk
when its 
hope begs
but during 
I’m distracted 
life drunk
and weary
stumbling home 
to find 
it waiting 

Oh teddy bear
where’ve you gone 
taken with you 
dreams and wishes 
my worries too
missing one eye
he can’t see
this life has
little place in
it for I
oh teddy bear 
can I come 
too to wherever 
you have gone 
for this without 
you is long
and I have 
forgotten our song

Holy cannoli 
or moly
or smokes
what’s with 
love nowadays 
train wreck
accident or
crime scene 
what happened 
to lazy
summer afternoons 
and a
tire swing 
a canoe 
and coo
coo coo
gone I
guess are
those days
of easy
does its 

Just I
and me
not bad 
better than 
he and
we whatever 
honestly this 
must I
since no
one else 
is fine 
because it’s 
simply mine 
this time 

In this early 
hour from behind 
like a curious 
lover trying to 
peek at what’s 
cooking before ready
the sun bathes
my room in
its quiet bubbles
itty bitty orbs
bounce and dance 
down walls and 
into corners tripping 
like a puppy
whose ears are 
too long for 
its tiny legs
