What is beating
Inside your chest
Is not your heart
But an artificial device
That can float on water
If need be
And what is necessary
But the love
That comes from travel
And interaction
With foreigners
Whether they live on earth
Or somewhere beyond
Some places
We recall
Not even as places
Where we stop
But as places
That we merely pass by
Yet they remain
In our memory
You thought you
Were saving your soul
But you were really only
Making this life
A little more austere
He cast his vote
And it was no
He was right
But sadly, sometimes
The majority rules
To be sophisticated
Requires sophistication
Or lacking that
An ability to cast
Caution to the wind
Who moved the rock
Who jumped for joy
Who was left standing
There is no simple explanation
Other than
Pure coincidence
I'm not out to write
A perfect sentence
But I'd like to see one
I need a formula
For success
A new recipe
That ensures my survival
But if cream rises to the top
Should I get use to
Skim milk
