From a cosmic perspective
we all live under rocks.
Gila monster men and women
avoiding extreme heat
coming out at dusk
sniffing out
a mate-a meal
bits of mischief
spreading poison
&
Gila monster love.

I'm solitary, roaming
The American southwest desert;
Heaving my bulky body -
Covered with bead-like scales
Of black and yellow -
Across hot sands and rocks
In search of prey.
I'm a nocturnal,
Cold-blooded lizard.
I flick out my forked poisonous tongue
To taste the air like snakes do.
Do not confuse me
With a Komodo Dragon,
I'm a much smaller reptile,
And I wear a different skin.
My tail is rather short.
My razor sharp claws are used
To dig burrows and unearth
Buried eggs of tortoises, snakes,
And other lizards.
My diet include small crawlies
Such as rodents, frogs, meerkats, etc.
I don't mind birds and their young!
I'm a Gila Monster

Chava and Gila
Chava and Gila
Happy Israeli girls
Dancing all night and day
Trips on the best airways
Their lives were a breeze
Doing as they pleased
Then
one
gray
dark
day
The dancing stopped
The fun was over
War had come
They took cover
In bomb shelters
They did swelter
Never to sing
Never to sing
Never to sing --
or dance again anymore
Chava and Gila
Chava and Gila
Chava and Gild
Grew up before their time...

It's a slow bridge; there's no time for tears
Growing numb, her baby girl covered in blood
Yet, this big machine their wheels keep turning, churning
Steam boat joey, full speed ahead ? More roses for the parades
Troubling when you can't make your salary cap or a lifetime achievement
Without an extra statue they forgot the confetti at his white house atop haunted hill
Grass roots and green tea parties drone strikes someone siphon her cyber space
Regurgitate a poe we've got to spin this page special interest; their next teen magazine....
He said she said Mars is red there's a flood coming Pluto pissed on the carpet Time's, headline news.

Big old lizard, painted black, pink and orange, like a Arizona sunset
Sort of a hermit, with not a good attitude
Indians say that it's hide has healing powers, it's bite is a contradiction
