The Revenge of the Mammals

A dinosaur, two tons or three,
Heard tell from a mammal quite wee:
“Why, one day your tar
Shall burn in a car
That’s driven by creatures like me!”

Dinosaur

My poor little dinosaur, sorry that you are no more.

DINOSAUR PEOPLE MOVERS

History is history drawn by observation to attract
Up and down motion
The thought of the old Dinosaur Escalators at Macy’s Herald Square
The old fossil’s still work
It gets Macy’s customers from selling floor to selling floor
They still work for sure
I know, I worked at the Macy’s Herald Square Tower for 38 Years on the 13th Floor of

FOLLIES OF THE RICH AND MUSINGS OF THE POOR

How can I mingle with the poor, I’m a millionaire,
My intellect superior,
And the masses inferior.
I am a street sweeper, my name is Jane,
Passers by think I’m insane,
I am the sole earner in a family of five.
I have been voted in as a president,
Those idiots out there, who stand for hours,
Just to wave to me in

Dinosaur Footprints

dinosaur footprints
hanging on a tree
orange unsuspecting
then the great fall
running down the road
and they’re gone
yearly distant ghosts

Critterature: A Lesson From The Dinosaur

Dinosaurs once ruled the earth
And their bones are found all over.
They're in the ground
Just waiting around
For some paleontologist to discover.
There were thin ones, and tall ones,
And fat ones, and small ones,
But they all lacked one basic requirement.
Though all were distinct,
They all went extinct
'cause they didn't plan well for retirement.

final account

before life begins
we accrue fictional sins
so guilt always wins
lest any deem themselves free
to alter reality

dollars and distance
do not measure existence
despite persistence
constant debt all but assured
within this credit card world

is living better
starting off as a debtor
shame's main abettor
always in the negative
when all else is relative

to death all succumb
becoming what we become
in part and in sum

go sit in the orange dinosaur swing

Go sit in the orange dinosaur! Grandma said sternly.
Yippee! Her grandson shrieked with joy.
She gave him the look but he did not see it.
Her daughter was not fooled one whit.

Some punishment, she said to her mother.
Letting him swing in the orange dinosaur swing.
It’s what I would have let you do, her mother replied.
And you would

The Great Bang

how long have we laid here
side by side
for an epoch's breath 
of starlight in a roving universe
enchanted moments 
see a night of a million years
until day slowly unearths us
from our play

but clinking and scuffing
distant voices loudening
muffled soon unmuffling
to a crisp and a brightness
the yellow hurts our eyes
how dare they disturb us

you are carefully wrapped
and put

Passing Hours, Passing Days, Dinosaur Poem 2022

rising from shadows

sunlight through window
a knight without armor
apparition in the city

time to celebrate and rejoice
a get-together
endless dreams

miles counted number turn
my many incarnations

to the next screen
the day comes too soon
stillness of late morning
soft awakening

my friend waits on another table
smiles and says hello
come back come back

the backyard like dreams
from a book I bought
painted in shades yellows and

Tracks of the Dinosaur

Smaller in the rearview mirror
the past retreats from view
Perspective changing rearranging
the old supplanted new

Fading in a dying focus
dust beyond the wind
Blowing wild beyond our memory
—fates forgotten hymn

(Dreamsleep: December, 2022)

Stooge

A choice to die wearing jacket:
Creamy ones he’d paid for packet.
The mad man had bought a racket
After seeing one at the market.
His boss to him like an ice cream,
Poor wages for decades nice dream;
Against his wife filed a law suit,
Because she’d soiled his three-pieced suit 

Pursuit of puppetry ample 
Guess, thus, why he is their

Dougie the Dinosaur Catcher

Dougie the dinosaur catcher is a magnet for owls and dolphins too.
He has two dwellings – one in the forest, and one in the ocean blue.
He has caught sixty-eight dinosaurs, who refuse to shoo.
They live in his houses though their dismissal is long overdue. 

They love him so much. He is like animal magnet glue.
They

Dinosaur Dilemma

Afternoon duty session
After a hearty lunch 
Only luck avoided
A nearly disastrous crunch.
For a split second the Controller
Let his attention waver and slide,
Which, for a brief instant, caused 
Parallel dimensions to collide.

Dinosaurs appeared on 
Many a sleeping city street
Causing that alarm and confusion
When ancient and modern meet.
Things that should have happened
Didn’t, or happened slightly late,
Leaving, for
