The Inevitable
the “inevitable”
watching mr. hope & change’s puppet,
mr. jay carney,
quiver with near climactic anticipation
as he mutters to a room full of reporters
that “assad’s fall is inevitable,”
reminds one of libya’s fall that was
also “inevitable,”
and how...

The Day I Saw the Elephant
Pile drivers have replaced gandy dancers
And Mayflower trucks the circus, open-cage parades
Horse drawn down Main Street U.S.A.,
But overnight canvas bosses still command
Roust abouts to raise big top sails,
Over decks of prairie dogs and tumbleweeds.
There are...

Itinerant
I’ve worked in oil fields,
facing danger for good money,
I’ve sailed on the crab boats
where the oceans churn and freeze.
I’ve drove the long-haul truck,
through the ice and much up to my knees,
I’ve dug that black gold...

Inside the sideshow tent were such wonders to behold.

“Come, see a woman covered in snakes,” the barker cajoled,
“Witness the wedding of a groom and his tiny midget bride.”

Searching For Julia
Sandburg saw you
more than a century ago
in prairie-town Galesburg -
an old lady on the porch -
unbothered by the whooping cries
of ball-playing boys.
Strangely, you had become a missing piece
in the jigsaw puzzle of my life

It’s thunderstorm country around here.
They roam the boiling, hot, southern skies

He lived with a knife thrower, named Sherry.
Sherry loved her yellow canary,
and trusted its care while gone to Barry.
While she was gone, the bird somehow got free.
He looked...
