I've not written a poem in easily 15 years, but from my mid teens to my early 40s poetry was a primary medium for me. I spotted this one today in an old copy of my self published magazine THE GARDEN DOCTOR (1987-1997) as Renee and I tidied up my office. I forgotten about it, was nice to see it again....one of my better ones.

Wow......most amazing flying dream of my life all night long, super action adventure. Began me trapped with others in an inescapable indoor prison much like a giant hospital. After many attempts I DID escape and entered a very futuristic very controlled prison society, usually inside HUGE SPACIOUS mechanized rooms, always being chased by the controllers, sometimes outdoors in grim industrial areas, other times in a gleaming pristine futuristic city. No trees, birds, plants anywhere, even the Brussell's Sprouts in a prisoners' luncheon I stumbled on were manufactured. Sometimes I was on foot but usually I was flying with superb skill, from like a hummingbird hovering to extreme Superman style speed and maneuverability, safe only for just a few seconds at a time, time and again BARELY making it through closing mechanical doors or evading the clutch of prison guards or evading the fire of ray gun cannons. I just don't see how my mind came up with SO MANY SCENES and plot lines all night long! If only I had a video cam in my mind! Last scene....I float into a cozy high rise balcony and see napping house cats, potted plants, a bird feeder, a hummingbird feeder, and finally a friendly looking bearded man seated...his smile let me know I'd found a safe haven. Then I woke up. Wow.

Hi folks, I think you might enjoy seeing some of this exhibit by Yoko Ono in Ft. Meyers, Florida last night where the people who attend PARTICIPATE in each work of art based on the notion of working together for a more peaceful world. Stan drove Susan, Maria and me down in comfort, awesome driver so I quickly relaxed in the back seat. (some folks terrify me to be passenger!) This exhibit is called 'Imagine Peace', which includes an all white chess game so you quickly lose track of who your opponent is, her famous Wish Tree where people attach their wishes, "Parts of a Light House" from 1965 sculpture of illuminated glass prisms, 'Mend Piece' where people work together to glue back together a broken model of the Earth, another where people to use ink stamps to stamp IMAGINE PEACE on differing maps, and more. Very moving to participate in vs. just looking at art on the wall. SO GLAD I went! I was so honored to make friends with the lecturer Kevin Concannon, who recognized my name from a Yoko forum on Yahoo I've belonged to for maybe 20 years and who co-authored in 2002 the remarkable coffee table book 'YES Yoko Ono' that my friend Renee has been relishing for two months now. And I was STUNNED when the gallery director took Susan, Stan and me into his office and asked me to smash a ceramic Earth for the next run of Mend Piece!! Stan shot a video of my doing that. So it was ONE very heady evening with many positive energy fun people. Last night was the opening....I think it runs two weeks. Enjoy, John
