Food and Sex
FOOD and SEX!
bona fide appetite for both
substantive pleasure in both
each with God ordained ends:
nourishment, procreation, pleasure
Father Flanagan said there were no
bad boys, there are only bad
environments, bad training, bad
examples, bad thinking
more to life
More to Life
MORE to LIFE!

Of the implements men make
some are good, a few better;
there are those that can be sharpened,
repaired, or have their software updated.
Yet more than a handful are useless,
they won’t last on the shelves
but will gather the dust of neglect;
no more than a plaque on the inventor’s wall.
Lord, remind us the value of the weak!
All are wholly perishable,
In time reduced to rubble;
History writes the records,
Patents and products pile up on archival floors.
Rational creatures have choices, there
are many tools to choose from, new ones all the time.
Let our choice be to forever be as children
and may these weaknesses change the world.

Variations, the slaty scarp now a pale yellow,
A rose-red precipice under a dawn sky
Fades into grey, the day gulps it’s caffeine.
Oh wondrous Light how you reveal new shades, new news,
Never the same. our dwellings too appear, doused in
Pastels, perched above life’s haze, on promontories
And bluffs; built to blend; strong, withstanding the wicked
Gales, though below most skies, a calm and prevailing
Paradise - so few troubles; relaxed Adirondacks, where
Chests take deep breaths, golden
sips of bourbon
Lube blissful conversation; and prompt appreciation
For surveying the sea coast where a distant
Steeple and Cross ever so gently call and
Beckon to hearts and minds seated under the Light.
