who experiences close encounters
of masterly baited entrapment
on Facebook Messenger

I mull mortality 
thru lens crafted occipital orbs
regarding a better future
experience sing a space oddity – 
whar incessant yaks
exuding a big hurt
emanate as cosmic atomic 
bipedal hominids replete roof lee wax
during a...

pleading joshing, and endearing...

The choice for commander in chief dum...

"The Folk Dance"
On the backs of well formed muscular miners 
Working hard in the trenches on a daily basis

On a Sunday in the evening
The old barn becomes a hall
Social place where every weekend
The town folk go for a ball.

Lights are lit, the banners sway
By the walls barrels...

   They sang their little theme songs; to a melody of...

Others meander to and fro, seeking

spirits of Cherokee in 
Appalachia's olden heart and veins.

as you and your three sisters spent
your childhoods in foster care...

A banjo is playing in the bodega.
A door proclaims its ding and dong
voltaic birds bounce to its tintinnabulum,
flickers of auricular featherings
wipe shelves of a million years of dust.
The banjo is at prayer and you are...
