Caren Krutsinger Poet Light Verse

My Next Brain

My next brain needs a bigger cow catcher.
The one I have now barely clears wolves and bears.
I want a scoop that will clear a huge swath.
Can push away skyscrapers and fire stairs.
To be able to blade away snowplows too.
Would make my heart leap with sheer crazy joy.
A blade to whisk away all sad, all thoughts of blue.
A fifty-five foot cowcatcher of fun, oh boy!

Nette Onclaud February 27, 2019 at 1:45 PM where can i get the blade and cowcatcher?... naughty and nice, caren!...huggs Caren Krutsinger February 27, 2019 at 4:57 PM You probably can get a big one inside my dendrite highway; no wait. Stop. I am using it!

Maurice Rigoler February 27, 2019 at 10:39 AM I love your use of "cowcatcher", it's Americana to the core. The first time I heard of it was in college when I read the book "The American Slanguage" by H.L. Mencken. And "blade away" in reference to snowplows is descriptive and original. Bravo! / M Caren Krutsinger February 27, 2019 at 4:58 PM We use it all the time; my husband put on on my truck, and I love it! Knowing if I hit anything, too bad for the other guy.
