High Fidelity

I’ve been worrying
That current attitude
Of sluffing under my bus
A few forever-close friends
Given new rubric, Sooo little
Time left, No way to be intimate
With those where too much baggage
Accumulated in out-dated relationships
—That you feared becoming like some
Dylanesque ugly primitive Jewish Yahweh
My-way-or-the-highway-when-you-see-me
Coming-you-better-run type of angry old man
‘Til a micro-dose psilocybin showed how to love.
The Doors Of Dim Im/Perception

August afternoon down by the barn
With buddies doing what we do
Kids across forest creek make too much
Noise for us, disturb [un]natural mood
But then I start wondering to myself if they
Instead were our favored grandchildren
If you would be so damn annoyed by ruckus
—Before just blasting out Jim Morrison.
