bigfoot rocks

10AUG26

outside of the box

if you stumble
if you fall
a good rumble
will fix it all

do what you like
do not stop
get your motorbike
to the shop

be passin' cars
once it's in tune
like shootin' stars
over the moon

to inches cubic
apply the lube
bigfoot is Rubik
outside the Cube

think outside the box
it's time for fun
all of the locks
he has undone

Enjoy your Monday. I hope it is a great week for us all. Do not remain aloof from the goof.

Poems

bigfoot is a reflection

19MAY26

of what you be

bigfoot comes nearer
in your sleep
he is a mirror
in your soul deep

all of the selections
that you make
he is the reflection
of what you take

out in the woods
eyes gentle & sad
all that is good
all that is bad

the good book
on the shelf
open & take a look
at yourself

Enjoy your Tuesday. Do not remain aloof from the goof.

The Red River Gorge Bigfoot Fest will be held in Stanton KY on 30 MAY26.

Poems

bigfoot splashes

16MAY26

in a big pond

bigfoot is the big fish
in the big pond
he forms his wish
in the great beyond

silently he has passed
through your soul
there a spell he cast
like a fishing pole

like a great wind
bigfoot blows through
you don't know your friend
but he knows you

he is grooving free
flies with no fear
he is a moving tree
with eyes and ears

as the ufo hovers
above and beyond you
you will discover
you're in the pond too

Enjoy your Saturday. Do not remain aloof from the goof.

I will soon be returning to the holler to try to get the motorcycles and cameras set up and dialed in to shoot videos. From day one this blog has been an adventure in doing things that I don’t know how to do. Wish me luck.

Poems

bigfoot fleeing

15MAY26

the reign of the machines

life is losing its meaning 
you know what I mean
it's a complete house cleaning
done by the machines

we will board no more ships
nothing will be able to hide us
all of us will have computer chips
implanted deep inside of us

we should be nervous
our work ethics erased
any motivation or sense of purpose
will be laid to waste

we're all left numb
ai wants us to snore
bigfoot doesn't seem so dumb
at least not anymore

try to follow his trail
a mission full of tension
as he escapes thru the veil
into another dimension

Enjoy your Friday. Do not remain aloof from the goof.

Poems

bigfoot is friends

13MAY26

with the night

all the bigfoot hide
wise to ignore our call
like the great tide
rises on the shore then falls

we're not allowed to know
but we can ask
as the bigfoot go
on with their tasks

the waves they ride
play their own tune
maybe it's all tied
somehow to the moon

floating like great kites
riding on the wind
everything about the night
seems to be their friend

I am currently wrapping up loose ends to do the motorcycle videos. My last trip I shot GoPro and drone footage. I am now using those “practice” video clips in the editing process to learn how to combine them while using the motorcycle sounds with the GoPro clips and applying music to the drone clips. Once we get that workflow process down we should be up and running.

Enjoy your Wednesday. Do not remain aloof from the goof.

Poems

bigfoot’s not even sure

24APR26

he’ll give you a spin

bigfoot on the trail
will you follow
only to fail
being left hollow

pics are no no
the birds sing
you are a yo-yo
on his string

there is no cure
no way to win
he's not even sure
he'll give you a spin

but do appreciate
what he does give
as he waits
he lets you live

Poems

does bigfoot track

23APR26

his health trends

does bigfoot get the flu
does he get bedridden
spread it to his crew
out there suffering & hidden

out in the woods
happy and sad
are his days good
and then bad

there and back
in the winds
does bigfoot track
his health trends

he carries the weight
as his soul soars
it makes him appreciate
the good days more

Poems

bigfoot & Evel Knievel

06APR26

at Snake River Canyon

bigfoot has appeal 
it is not his fault
he's the rolling wheel
on the asphalt

there he stands
beneath the stars
he is the hands
on the handlebars

he checks on our condition
to see what condition it's in
he knows our ignition
and how we should begin

he knows some arithmetic
that we do not learn
he can start us with a kick
or with a key turn

all of the sasquatch
stand at the door
what we should watch
is what we ask for

no matter how much
we want to see tracks
once we pop that clutch
there's no turning back

to ride that wheelie
there on the back wheel
do we really
want bigfoot to reveal

is he good or evil
is he a trusty companion
we are all Evel Knievel
at Snake River Canyon

into the tall timber
are we sent
because we all remember
how that went

before we all scoot
into the unknown
we know that the parachute
sometimes opens on its own

In 1974 Evel Knievel attempted to jump the Snake River Canyon. His parachute deployed early and he was unsuccessful. You can still go there and see the huge dirt ramp that he used. To me the whole thing is kind of like bigfoot. It is almost completely unbelievable but it still gives me the biggest smile.

Enjoy your Monday. I hope it is a great week for all of us. Maybe we should be like Evel Knievel and take a running go at it.

Poems

ownership is an illusion

11MAR26

you’re only renting

bigfoot is unknown
but he is true
knows everything you own
really owns you

take a session
open the lid
of your possessions
time to rid

feel the confusion
the truth hinting
ownership is an illusion
you're only renting

it's all a front
a bad habit
in this hunt
you are the rabbit

whispers the wind
become aware
you are in
the cross hairs

know the advertisers
are not Heaven sent
try to be wiser
than what they represent

I went to Bike Night at Cycle Gear last night. It was interesting to see so many motorcycles in the parking lot. I think most of the major brands were represented. I saw bikes from BMW, Ducati, Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Triumph and Yamaha. I am probably leaving a brand out. It was mostly sport bikes. I did see a Harley Davidson touring bike pulling out as I was coming in. The guys that work in the store had told me that a lot of the young guys like to drive down the street on Hurstbourne and do a U turn and then pop a wheelie in front of of all of the other bikers. And sure enough I saw quite a few motorcycles going a long way down the road on the back wheel : )

It was also pretty easy to see what the favorite helmet brands and models were. I saw a lot of AGV, Arai, Bell, HJC, KYT, and Shoei helmets sitting or hanging on bikes.

In a way it was a lot like a bigfoot festival. There were a lot of people and a lot of smiles participating in something that they were definitely into.

Enjoy your Wednesday.

Poems

knows that less

10MAR26

is really more

bigfoot is tall
the mystery thick
no desire at all
for a selfie stick

no tweets
to read and see
as he retreats
speeds into the trees

hard to absorb
you might try
there's an orb
in the night sky

a life blessed
his soul soars
knows that less
is really more

want to use
what he's found
take off your shoes
you're on holy ground

Just one more reminder that tonight is Bike Night at Cycle Gear. If you have one in your town you might check it out.

Enjoy your Tuesday.
