Unopened Eyes Co-Written With Doris Culverhouse
Cats on roof in snow
Sentinels watching looking
Without open eyes
The jet flies the governor's
Course set to adultery
Cat slips on frozen
Snow, claws grip the edge, below
A fire awaits..... fate
Death takes the pilot,
In midair the govenor
Yearns...jet burst apart
Cat's grip is weak claws strip falls
Clings to governor's carcass
Taxpayers buy a
New plane, and exwife's dreams flow...
And flames still scorch!
(The cats are metaphoric for politicians.)
