living on a planet
in a big universe
among whoever
deciding what to do
or not whenever
open for suggestions
Sundays from 11:00 AM
to midnight.

~~~

unwilling to
willingly commit
to look in
any direction.
Considering options
to settle for
less or nothing
while others
move forth boldly
seeking answers
and truths
to whatever
just because
it’s Monday.

~~~

Some people choose truth
others prefer
to never ask questions
or give answers
and still others
choose blaring
silent pauses between
Coltrane exchanges
with Nina Simone.

It’s a style thing.

~~~

Do you believe
the direction
we move now
will determine
the place where
our souls will be
for eternity?
