Story Teller




Now as spring light fades into a softly

blue evening I turn to you and ask,

If you can tell me more?



The river doesn’t flow as rapid as

before and the lake is dry, no breeze

blows away dust of broken dreams



if you can tell me more tell it now

before light is an empty space and

stillness has lost its echo.

Freedom for some




Seagulls fill the air with joy

anchored sailboats tug want to be free

sail around the world alone,

just as a Japanese fishing vessel did

ending up on the shores of Canada.

Alas, caught by the coast guard as it

prepared to sail for Chile and Peru.

Anchored in a lonely bay

waiting for its captain to catch up.

This slavery of navigation, yet it

had a year of freedom.

Seagulls fly, sleek bodies white as snow,

a storm is brewing

and the ocean is theirs alone.

Sunday at the Marina




Water in the marina, clear as diesel

fish swimming close to surface

in peace of seagulls,

which know they stink of human

waste.

This is not the fish that

will feed the five thousand.

A child strews bread crumbs into the water,

ignored by the fishes.

Seagulls’ shrieks and fall from the sky.

A man drops a glass of gin & tonic, on

the deck of yacht,

claws at his chest.

Ambulance and a nervous doctor

tells him not to smoke cigars

too late.

Young widow,

I hope she sells the bloody yacht.

thoughts about cars

Drifting thoughts.




Interesting article I read,

in a few years robots and the chip

can take over most manual work

and cars are so advanced they

don’t need a driver.

75% of the population will be

permanently unemployed.

Appealing, but who is going to buy

the clever cars?

I think we have to rethink the future.

And a last thought who the hell wants

to drive a car

that drives itself?
