my eyes are fuzzy
when I look close
but far away
in a big picture style
there is clarity.

we travel endlessly
in our minds,
to all points between
imagination and reality,
and when we meet
friends along the way,
we search our calendars
to see if we can stay.

you sleep beside me
every night,
doing what you care to

she has no choice
but to let me
take care of her
even though her

and fancy clothes with their
superior ways and means,
they came with their pearls
and real estate holdings and
checkbooks open to help
finance all their opinions,

and money stained with blood
symbolic of their closed eyes,
they have church on their side
and government

from sun up to sun down
and the only thing they truly
love is their own greed and
who they can defeat...
they are our essence
they are this land
they are our inheritance.

paint me a pretty picture
so I can see the happiness
that I know someone has
somewhere in this land.
10.
there is no law or policy
or procedure if both side
are equally correct and
equally wrong in the
analysis of one's debate.
