ummmmm.....thanks to all of you for your very generous comments about "uprooting buddha". it is far from being finished, my intention is to turn it into a small book unto itself. i have read some very amazing poetry on this message board and i am trying to extract the multitude of personalities in each piece. i am very grateful to raphaela for suggesting this forum to me. thank you. ~paul

bohemian astrophysics

We are our parents' children.

They are our first sign of God.

Under shuttered eyelids
I hear him push me to the heavens
and my grades flew like
shooting stars, and the sands
washing away while capturing them
Waves lap at eclectic blues
somber moods sobering childish dreams
and my ambitions built up like
supernovas�
this was my answer to your words,
this - a plight to come back from madness
five points under Isaac Newton
for you
and I am three centuries late to father
physics
and I am living bohemian
astrophysics
with ambitions swelling like
supernovas
Crawling out from cumulus clouds,
stretching in morning mists
playing equations in bedtime dreams
and raising hands to blue skies
calling out in classroom claustrophobia
just to answer you
ambitions grew like supernovas
to play role model children for you
Desire laid down like
trampled flower gardens
to play the white sheep in white flocks
and I saw visions of God
behind you as I watched you
spill fists onto those who followed you
Ambitions flowing like poetic
orgasm�
I Just Dive In
fleeing from life to leisure
and back,
I am black sheep
dwelling on bohemian astrophysics
behind you
and now unseen to you
like younger brother unseen to me,
in a womb
in my mother
at your knees
begging you
and under your feet
under your fists
and I am growing past you
like ambitions ballooning like anger
playing dust devils winding
down dusty paths
I am my father' son
Bursting like supernovas
like rain clouds
I am breaking glass cabinets
and trust
at every bend in the road
thrusting like adolescence
between thighs of
soft flesh felt
like clouds that cry to me.
Living past you
and like you
throwing anger like kisses,
my father's shadow
running behind you,
tears like rainfall.
This is atom bombs dropping,
towers falling,
growing past you
This is my alarm clock like
tears falling and nightmares
chasing her back to her closet
I am my father's son
swimming to ocean floors to pull
my worn body back to shore
I am dawning scales like armor
to protect her-
her father figures lurking like
figures in dark nights under
bedtime shut eyelids like
childhood monsters haunt her.
Protect her-
as I am her savior,
but my father follows in my shadow
Ambitions are dropping like
American bombs on Middle East
landscapes marking craters
like space and time moonscapes
I was my father's sun,
and fled from raging wartime pastures-
a black sheep living bohemian astrophysics
living past it.

We are our parents' children.

They are our first sign of God.

I have yet to read the Bible.
