Dream Fragment 8
```
Nightly swaying darkly
Through catacombs of sleep
Subterranean lives
Repeat mumbled questions
To echoing mirrors
Answered by meteors
Showering broken glass
On the highway of hope

Nineteen Ninety One, May Day V

                     V
Shattered and scattered:
Our Founding Fathers have suffered another death.

The illusive catbird
Clearly calls me by name

Hanging from folded clouds
Rainbow fragments

The reflected mountains
To leave the lake awash
In kaleidoscopic color

The Stage of Life

Emerging
Through a crack in the mask

Striving to break through
Beyond a persona
Wandering in shadows
To ultimately become
The One that I AM

Epiphany on the Palouse – A. Testimonial

The road to disability began
When Mensa disallowed my score
Of one hundred and ninety seven;
Discovering the redundant
Rhyme scheme answers:
A BAD CEED CA B
On major sections of the nineteen
Sixty seven IQ exam.

Far away the children play
In a world shrouded in innocence.
Let them play—
And learn to deal with life.

Kalaloch Midnight
```
Day and night, mist
Drizzle and fog.
The tide comes in,
The tide goes out.
Land.  Ocean.  Grey
Mirror images
Roaring, boiling
Raw, chattering
Minds to Silence.

Hippo Rock

Another wave washes 
The Hippo clean
Of perching shore birds

Overhead the seasonal wave
Of migrating ducks and geese
Struggle to reorganize
Their disintegrating formations
In the erratic April breezes

He then reminded her
That on the third planet
Few have been successful
Acquiring the knowledge
Necessary to live
As the enlightened ones
They will someday become
