The Leaky Faucet

All through the night, the leaky faucet
searches the stillness of the house
with its radar blip: who is awake?
Who lies out there as full of worry
as a pan in the sink? Cheer up,
cheer up, the little faucet calls,
someone will help you through your life.

Lover in the Aether

Available when I want you
living in all computers
but only I have the key

To my automaton's
ignition
user name
password
instant synergy

The poet within.

Twilight; dawn;
Half awake,the brain muses;
Mulls over the day past,
The day beginning,
Before the lucid light of day
Focuses upon reality,
When we are thrust from fiction into fact.
Savour these moments
In this parallel universe of possibilities,
For we are poorer without them,
The hopes, ideas,ideals
Which succour us during the routine and trivial.
When we conjure that magic,
That is the poetry of life.
