There is an army of clouds today.

Juliana Coles

It might be more fashionable not to live 

After all

Who doesn’t love a dead failed poet

Still I had a nice dinner with my wife

And it was a fine day

Lovely

Perhaps I’ll just keep writing 

Anyway

--

Sixty-seven years on this planet

And somewhere along the way

I learned to exit the calendar

And make a sharp left turn

Onto a place and time to live

The life of a human being

Being young  

Middle aged

And old all became the same

Now I just live whatever day

Happens to surround me

There is an army of clouds today

The breeze is sweet and cool

-----

As we destroy this earth with oil wells

Fracking 

Wars 

Coal mines

And too many damn people

Where will the last little field mouse

Go to catch a nap

It’s your life. No one can do this for you. Your teacher can set you in a particular direction, but you have to go on the path alone.
