NO HOME
(’87 – ’18)

– They sleep under freeways,
in vacant buildings,
on park benches,
inside cardboard boxes,
in old cars,
on the sidewalk…
– Residents of Los Homeless,
California,
men, women, children, babies,
of flesh and blood and heart,
cold, hungry, scared…
serving a life sentence
of existence.

– If it weren’t
that I think you are
the most beautiful woman
in the world,
I could say I’m in love with you
for no particular reason.

– “Pleased to meet you,
hope you guessed my name,
if I’m confusing you,
it’s the nature of my game…”
– “You’ll find me anywhere
there are massacres,
poison gas, rapes…
I drown children,
torture prisoners,
spread epidemics,
send bombs through the mail…”
– “The name is Lucifer,
and you could say I’m in need
of some restraint.”

– Thought of you,
saw you in dreams,
pretended you were mine,
idolized you,
called your name,
and you shouted back:
– “Quit idolizing me
& pretending I’m yours!
& I don’t want to be
in your dreams,
or your thoughts either,
do you understand?!”
– I packed my obsession
& left,
made sure no one noticed
the tear.
– What ever happened
to happy endings?

(’98) Wrote this as a tribute to Linda McCartney,
who had recently died.
\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\//\/\/\/\/\/\=>>
– Paul is sad…
Linda is gone,,,
he & millions mourn.
– Out of respect,
silly love songs
refuse to be sung.
– Love of his life,
inspiration,
friend…
– She went away
on a fine spring day,
riding through the woods…
– The bluebells were all out,
the sky, a clear blue.
