day spent with children
largely exuberant for life.
adults try to end.

you have to believe
more than anyone in the world
you are important

you must center life
reason to wake up and sleep
around your purpose

even when lowly
must use karma repair kit
to be bigger, best

all our lives fearing
'passion rules the universe'
we don't like to die

why did you try it?
life goes on without you but
better with you here

i'm not surprised but
the shock is just sinking in
this sadness runs deep

such desperation
such violence upon yourself
relieving drowning

oh when will you see
there is so much good in you
run from shallow souls

Tired from a life
Of jumping hoop after hoop
The ultimate crime

It is not your time
You belong here, can't you see
Life is all we have

on board three-thirty ferry
finally eat with friends

Homemade bread, toasted.

An endless job search.
