“Believe it or not, I’m appeased by the ripples:
I don’t wade in the waters, I submerge - I keep going deeper;
Seeping, pervading sentiments are synthesized below the basin’s radius;
Within the width, length, and height of the reservoir’s where I recieve my initials;
The volume’s increasing - the container is plastic;
Thoughts are like solutes and the solvent’s fantastic:
Feelings fix problems - the solution is drastic.”
- Old Dying Joe
“True one - unperturbed by blues - run right towards the surf;
Sun hung above - wrung rays, absorbed the warmth
- Receding colors at once advanced;
Entranced - completely smothered by the hum of chance;
Another dance - some serenity within my stance;
I’ve set my plans.”
- Old Dying Joe
