life is constant
light, waves, and sound
always in motion
collapsing into itself
oscillating to and from
arriving to the return
life is the diameter
between then and now
shapes of lens
flattening the dimension of time
determining,
whether you float
or sail through the journey
Beta the decay yet kinetic in time
Clue be given to you in this rhyme
Diameter in mass and vector
East north and west with South in chime
Fox and the hound led not the blind
Global position Sovereign in the rewind
Headquarters DMZ

Canada’s gnarliest tree
royalty in Port Renfrew
named Avatar Grove
a giant red cedar
ten- foot diameter
people are raising money to keep her safe from logger’s saws
so far, she remains in danger
Brought my baby chainsaw to my baby’s house
Attacked her giant limb grrr grrr grrr
It was at least twelve inches in diameter
I had to lean on my chainsaw a little
He growled his way though that limb nine times
The pieces were heavy, but we are mighty – my chainsaw and I
After I loaded them into my car I received a text from my man
“Don’t put the lumber in your car. I will pick it up this weekend.”
He was a few minutes too late.
5 large egg whites
250g caster sugar
380ml double cream
5 tbsp lemon curd
300g blackberries
2 tbsp pistachios, toasted & roughly chopped
InstructionsPreheat the oven to 180 C/160 C fan. Line two large baking trays with baking parchment.
In a large bowl, whisk the egg whites until soft peaks form. Adding the sugar 1 tbsp at a time, continuing to whisk until you have a stiff, glossy meringue.
Divide into three, placing two big dollops nto one baking sheet and one on the other. Spread out until you have three circles approx 20cm in diameter.
Place the trays in the oven and immediately reduce the heat to 140 C/120 C fan. Bake for one hour then turn off the oven and leave the meringues inside to cool completely.
When ready to serve, whip the cream until soft peaks form and fold in the lemon curd. Remove the meringues from the baking parchment and layer with whipped cream, blackberries and a sprinkle of pistachios. Serve in thick slices.
This meringue cake is best eaten on the day of making, but leftovers will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for a day or two.Fagotto Amaretto chocalae and piscatoes
The tree of Tule in Oaxaca, Mexico, is the tree with the largest trunk diameter in the world. Its circumference reaches almost 60 meters and has a height of 42 meters. Its approximate age is 2,000 years.
tens of people could
take a nap at the same time
the ancient big tree.

Venture advances, the future ... occurs,
the White Willow trees, best found by rivers
edge. Salix alba, and 'Tristis' means sad,
hence, 'Weeping', yet the essence seems to add
a picturesque of a draped graceful scene,
nay gloomy but most tranquil, and serene.
The whitish tones of the leaf's undersides
evolved the tree's name. A meter trunk, wide's,
diameter, thirty-meter stretch that
leans caused by sloped limbs that bring its Top Hat
tilted downward. A bow ... accentuates,
or curtsey, being a deciduous
tree, where the flower's genders grow distinct,
genteel parade cascades in white trimmed linked.
So what if a dil** is found
In shape, size, look that may astound,
Sex is universal,
And a force eternal,
Ever so prime and as profound.
In making undue fuss,
The media miss the bus,
As a public interest hound.
______________________________
An excavation in Sweden has turned up what may be an ancient dil**— carved out of antler bone, nearly four inches long, about an inch in diameter. It was unearthed at a Mesolithic site (4000-6000 BC) in Motala, Sweden.

As I get closer I see she is a woman
About nine foot tall
Her waist is probably less than eleven inches in diameter
Her legs are the width of a ruler
Self-confidence oozes out of this tiny being
She is sitting on top of her van camper
Drinking a six pack of root beers
There is not a pinch of fat on her body
She wears a gray kamikaze helmet with a purple visor
She is nonchalantly waving the flag of the Brits
Her tennis shoes cover more area than the bikini she wears
Her left shoulder is heavily tattooed
We have never met such a beast.
We saunter up to her and say “hi”.
She responds, and happily. Fearless and free.
I am in awe!
Pi day 3:14
Irrational?
Maybe_
Circumference divided by diameter
Is a never ending number
Just like the universe is never ending its increase in size
Also, if I ate pie
Like I would love to eat pie
I would be Pi
Nevus, dysplastic
Less than fantastic
Asymmetric?
Center line trick
Irregular border
Suggests disorder
Highly colored?
It’s no dullard.
Diameter large?
Time to take charge!
Rapid evolution?
Seek a solution.
See your derm path
For that mole
Before his burrows
Take their toll.
Some float,
move on the diameter of a whim.
A few articulate between joy and grief,
others are hinged
so that ears can hear each other.
Most are scaffolds.
One hollow bone hums in the throat,
it channels the smoky music
of sub-conscious saxophones.
A few are honeycombed for memory
and procreation.
One is a cave for old mind-muddles,
it has a window view.
All the others
are flesh garbed trombones
that slide in and out
to unlock our whoopee cushions
with their skeleton keys.

Great moments in childhood
THE PLAYGROUND.
Responsible for
bumps, bruises, broken bones
busted egos
Redeemed by
spontaneous acts of wisdom
retaliation, retribution and mercy.
THE “JUNGLE BARS”
A ten foot high tower
ruled by a reincarnated
Olympic gymnast.
THE “SEE-SAW”
An 18 foot plank
Balanced on a fulcrum
(never trust the other kid
to dismount slowly and ease you down)
THE CENTRIFUGE
(aka the kid killer)
A 12 foot in diameter lever powered device.
Purpose - to allow children to spin so fast
that they could be thrown in a tumbling
mass across the stone strewn ground.
THE “SLIDE”
A 15 foot long metal chute
Capable of reaching temperatures of 125 degrees
on a perfect “let’s go play in the park” day.
THE “SWINGS”
A controllable Grandfather Clock
capable of inducing great fear and excitement
and an insatiable desire to get higher – faster.
(often thought of as a “gateway drug”)

My monsters live under the bed, the five-year-old said.
I remembered those days, those nightmares.
Mine lived in the closet too, I told him.
His eyes grew eight inches in diameter.
Not the wisest move for a twelve-year-old babysitter.
