Easy Blue, Old Man

Decision Architecture Diagram

********************************************************

Today, I looked and life is turning blue again.
It is the bright blue of skies, one from the bag of things
that fire my desire for mind-altering shit,
but I seek some sort of god instead,
or perhaps I seek no type of god.

I remember looking for you.
I should never look again.
I am to have better decision-making skills,
but you were my higher power with such grace.
I’m not so rotten, and my wife is most precious to me.

    great poem.
    especially love…

    “Today, I looked and life is turning blue again.
    It is the bright blue of skies, one from the bag of things
    that fire my desire for mind-altering shit”

    your style is so fresh and original
    this piece is clear and concise.

        On reread, I love the ending.
        again, I can hear your “voice”.
        in fact, I would really like to hear you read this.
        I feel like hearing it would give it a whole new meaning.

          Those who bravely post audio are courageous. I think it is a good idea. I have heard a few and the reading really impacts the meaning a lot. It’s not difficult technology wise. It’s difficult art-wise.
