"I have never been appreciative of isolationism and yet,

I define it on a grand scale.

The wind continues to blow and

I see elsewhere that the grass is greener only during the first and last hours of sunlight.

Every road, every river, all of the time;

I wish I knew people in the places that I strive to observe,

I would learn not to hurry home,

I would 'fervently abandon that of which symbolizes the achievements of others.

I would stand high above and watch the waters swirl and churn as

the edges of the valleys slowly receded into the thick brown waters.

At some time in the aftermath,

I would walk along the new shores in my bare feet and point and speak

of the partially submersed objects of conquest that were transformed in the new earth;

it's not really a new earth,

it is just that for so many people,

it is their first time to bat at proclaiming a deity as their transformation to tatters."

'Fish Lab'

MPK 2013

We were two stupid kids that only

knew one day after another.

Two stupid kids that never got it right.

Don't you know, I think it shows.

Once while having an intense discussion about

Albert Hofmann while standing in Owego Creek,

she turned to me and confided that

she was turning into a mermaid.

Don't you know, I think it shows.

I knew where to go;

I took her to the emergency entrance

of the Tunison Fish Lab along State Route 13.

Don't you know, I think it shows.

They shrugged their shoulders and said

maybe she was in contact with an 'electric' eel?

Don't you know, I think it shows.

'I Can't Be Like I Was Before'

MPK 2012

I could vanish without a trace; never see another look on my face.

I know I'm far from home.

I'm here just to roam.

I have the satisfaction of knowing I'll return home.

I park on the ridge along the highway and look down on Canajoharie.

Somewhere along the way,

time took all of the fear out of me.

I know where the Susquehanna starts to flow,

in the east it is called Jefferson,

in the north it is called Columbia Center.

I wanted you to be my wife,

I drove all night just to prove I'm alive.

I drove by the Tepee, something happened to me,

I haven't been here since 1974,

A flood of memories opened the door,

I can't be like I was before.

'Is It Something We've Been Through?'

MPK 2013

Is it me, is it you?

Is it something we've been through?

Can you look far away?

And say it's a game we play?

If I said so today,

Would you speak joy?

Or break it like a toy?

Break it like a toy.

Is it something we've been through?

'Funny Girl; I'm Too Far Away'

MPK 2013

I'm not sorry, I'm just lonely.

Well you know,

Well you know.

I'm too far gone to not let it show.

Sometimes I wish,

Sometimes I wish, I was big enough to step in and make it so.

Every time,

Every time I think about you I don't know what to do.

Not a word,

Not a word that I ever said to you was untrue.

And I know,

And I know my feelings are all that is left to show.

"I think it looks like a car stopping in front of a house as I get out

with a basket full of well cared for and folded laundry.

The laundry is set on a chair in the kitchen and a strong cup of coffee is made;

it may possibly be consumed while laying down on a large waterbed

beneath a fast spinning ceiling fan.

As I stare into the fan blades,

I can see and feel a faint outline of the delusion.

I have only the time elapsed and the faintness of a moment to guide me."
