When I Consider OcelotsWhen I consider ocelots,
I try to get inside their thoughts.
I wonder if they're like the lynx,
who sits down before he thinks,
"how would I look in spots?"...

Buying ClothesWhen choosing clothes, some people buy
Whatever seems to catch their eye.
They always pay the asking price
No matter what, and don’t think twice.
That isn’t me, for without fail
I’ll check to find out what’s on sale
And if it’s pricey, I might splurge
If on that day, I get the urge.
As far as stores, the upscale...

Donning rubber gloves, the wife does washing of clothes and dishesDonning rubber gloves, the wife does washing of clothes and dishes...
(plus cutlery, pots pans, et cetera) in the kitchenette sink.
She started what would immediately become
a first and last generation tradition
(the spouse as washer woman
and scullery maid)
soon after we moved here
eight years ago come July 1st, 2025.
I trumpet her pioneer spirit
to apply elbow grease

WHAT REALLY IS CIVILIZATION?I was beaten in school
for speaking Themne
my own tongue
a melody they called a wrong note.
I ran to my father for comfort
but he looked away
called me foolish
for not knowing the world had changed.
I knelt beneath the old tree
offering thanks for rain and harvest
they said I was lost
praying to shadows and myths.
I wore my lion skin...

ClothesSome clothes I don’t wear anymore.
Some weird patterns all over.
Or just a stain from a cursed coffee mug.
The clothes which bring me to life?
Are:
My favorite florals.
Colorful.
I don’t even like green, but still…
Something about this type of green looks good on me.
Well worn yet still soft.
When I wear that...

Fasten-aidingThere are things we take for granted
People used to do without
With a thousand-plus examples,
But these verses are about…
Fasteners we use for clothing,
Such as zippers, hooks or snaps,
Also buttonholes and buttons,
Buckles, laces, even straps.
Have you heard of Whitcomb Judson?
He and Gideon Sundback share
The invention of the zipper -
Just let Google take you there.
All my...

Shoes SuckThe older I get the more I hate shoes
When I was a teen I loved to choose
Different leather pumps and high heels
Wearing shoes now is a not a big deal
I like my old mules now out of style
As my feet can be free slide in and out
And those Crocs are popular for sure
But I just...

A Hard Day's NightI am a captive of these chores,
Clean dirt from windows, walls and floors.
Clothes washed to remove all the dirt,
Even the lipstick on his shirt.
There's no time to check if its mine.
Washing is done, dirt came out fine.
"A hard day's night", and when I die.
They'll throw dirt on me, where I lie....

Drying LineThis line, stretched high and proud,
No rags to hinder, no need for a shroud—
Let’s shake off the past, let sunlight shine.
So vibrant, where colors play,
With dreams that flutter, they dry and sway.
Though fleeting, these moments are divine.
Speak of warmth, not despair,
Let kindness...

Did I say ComfortI wore this blue shirt the last time I saw my friends
And maybe the time before that
And possibly the time before that
I have three comfy shirts
They are appreciated and well loved
More than a whole closet of clothes that never leave their hangers
I like comfort, cozy fuzzy, warm.
Did I say comfort? Comfort? COMFORT.
My favorite pair of...

Why Do Ghost's Wear Clothes
I passed the elm at eventide,
Its arms were bare, its breath was wide,
And there beneath the twilight sky
I thought I saw a woman roam.
Her gown was thin as woven mist,
A memory the dark had kissed;
No rustle made, no shadow cast—
She moved as moonlight through the grass.
Do ghosts wear gowns like we once wore,
With hems...
