Abandoning the Watchtower
Dylan got bitten hard by fame and though wounded continues to tour A thundering majesty in makeup and veils jesters by the score Divorced from his wandering a pilgrim of dreams the past too great a cost A caricature of genius gone eyes clouded over —Camelot lost (The New Room: June, 2023)...

Chess and Cruelty
I Practising something Winning takes thinking Like the world Values curtailed, curled II Add anonymity Online carefree community Some will begin games Not play; hope you go away Courtesy questioned; charged with abandonment Social contract corrected less fast (for content) III We play games For variety, virtual community Go everywhere, in His Peace, Shalom Try always, to live your values, decorum Yet, what shall one do?
