"Soft," New, Parade, just begun, ...

cars and beasts ...

roll down the crowd-filled Street.

All the engines "hum."

the nearby ocean lies gleaming,

washing across the horizon.

Strange, ... glory...

a life without

truth my mother was
right,
but a life in a home
unsafe and alone was
all that was in my
sight.
upon considerable
reflection their
abuse and rejection
made absolutely no
sense,
but being a...

that the four seasons run wild and free.
There's a God out there, and He's in charge.
Sure, every season has a mind of its own,
and each knows exactly where she...

i stole it tall

Fabrication fraught
with embellishments,
