Mexico and This Night
It's a cool spring, half moon, and starry night,
I never cut off my ear like Van Gogh, 

…or gotten a painting into the MoMA,
It's strange to meet here at 3:37 A.M., 

I'm supposed to be asleep and happily married,
…or employed in a six figure job, or a baller,

…but it's 3:43 A.M., and I'm talking to you and smiling,
It's strange to tell stories on the road living like Kerouac,

One foot in the grave, seeking roots in a rootless world,
Drawings of box cars in my MIT Technology Review,

From a sister rainbow child, sat here with her,
Smoking a blunt and recounting 2016 at the Black Hills,

…or cuddling another lost soul under the same moon,
With three kids and a shared bipolar diagnosis,

She said Ayn Rand saved her, sea side yoga, blah, blah, blah,
Give me some more truth my love, I don't know what this is,

It's 5:57 A.M., and I can't forget the alcohol, not mine,
Sister's and mother's tears shed into a bottle of liquor or boxed wine, respectively,

Was it the generation of men who gave up on matrimony?
Was it the LSD in 1968 that made mom forget propriety and the veil?

Was it Martin Luther, or the Enlightenment that convinced us that God is Dead?
I want him back, or is he her, this small stream here,

Nursing the wounds and the pain over a lukewarm coffee and Backwoods cigar?
Reminding me of a night on Cedar Lake with Yana, but she's gone, too…

German, didn't get it, to see Syria aflame like Iraq, or Afghanistan,
He said, "Build The Wall!" I said fuck you, but didn't have the courage,

…to pull the trigger on certain death and a life of misery,
No this America won't be fixed easy, or quick,

She's going to have to learn the hard way, like all the rest,
I don't know, it's 6:03 A.M., now and I'm hoping for a good day,

Put away any sense or delusions of a clean life, ritual and prayer,
I accepted Islam six years ago, but can't decide if it helps,

Five prayers a day, ritual and mosques, but "By Grace Alone,"
Sounds so nice, yet I don't feel it, this stream is so peaceful,

I'll just stay here a while, and watch her roll on,
Water drift by, like anything else in life,

Is all I'll ever have, a rock, a chair, this cigar, and coffee,
The moon is still there, I'll take this night over tomorrow any day,

Anything to prevent you from feeling what my rainbow sister,
Feels clutching her face in tears in a train car,

Hopped from town to town, at night, by a stream,
I'd take her life any day, but I'm there, no ground.
