What’s the opposite –
Of the term “vanishing point”?
An “appearing point”?
Or maybe a “Jesus” point?
Or how’s about a “Rome” point?

Love walking on docks
Rocking on water –
Must be my Jesus complex

Tanka T148
If life were a game –
I want to be greet at
The Gates of Heaven –
By the Angels telling me
“Well played, Mr. Tan, well played!”

Notes to this poem…
Underachieving Us
The more I see people
Pushing human potential –
The more I think
We are underachieving
As a species –
And that God could not
Have created us –
No God worth
Any amount of Divinity –
Would have created
Anything so imperfect –
And third rate –
As us

Tanka T132
What if people had –
A bit more faith in themselves –
And in each other –
Instead of in religion –
To make things happen in life?

Running Poem R052
Having my faith in
America’s collective
Intelligence crushed –
Worse than having my faith in
God and in the Buddha crushed

Without having to
Clarify his words?

Big Lift Ferry Poem F264
There’s something to be said –
For being the best –
But there’s more to the said –
For being the best –
That you can be –
Unlike what society –
Would have you believe
