There is much to see while walking around Annapolis. I found this fenced yard fascinating.

poem: patiently
i want to read every book
touch every flower,
breathe in every mint aired aroma,
laugh at all of your jokes
over again
see all of your faces
trace the years between us and
smoothe the bumpy gaps
i want to bake a cake so big
it takes a lifetime to eat
and create a life so long
that all the cake is gone
i will have it, i will eat it.
i will treat it as your appetizer
for better (much better) days to come
and what you can't see now
in you in me in us in eternity
eternally waits,
patiently
for your discovery.

Not sure when this was. It could have been 1978 but it could have been sooner. That's Tom's TV. He always sat close enough to frequently change the channel (except when Star Trek was on but even then, during the commercials) before most of us had a remote control. I don't think any of the kitchen chairs matched. It was, after all, basically a college place. Some of us just had a tough time leaving.
Not shown: a likely stack of dirty dishes and a very outdated small refrigerator.
poem: now
Tomorrow. Today. Yesterday.
Now.
Here we are. Right Now.
Now is the time
to move, to act, to play, to love, to discover
beyond previous intentions, expanded &
free
above invisible ceilings &
true to a dream
Now is the time for you.
and me
What will we do with it?

Poem: who we are
who we really are is a frustrating secret
locked in chambers dark. filled with echoes
repeating what we've been told, taught, and sold
clicking away - vibrating in a pulse of rainfall
that we do not feel. Sopping, sobbing, wet.
who we really are eludes us every corner
ghostlike, shadow shrouded wispy drawn
sketched on page prepared but torn, tearful, and faded
dropping away - ringing in tones of tools
we can not carry. We touch nothing uninvited, withheld.
who we are is right there in front of us.
don't you see it?
