Soft, New, Parade, Part One
"Soft," New, Parade, just begun, ...
cars and beasts ...
roll down the crowd-filled Street.
All the engines "hum."
All the cylinders "run."
Eyes open wide.
Hearts sink.

The Martian Cylinders
Through the telescope
We view the planet Mars
Explosions aplenty
Leaving planetary scars
Two nights pass
As comets appear
All over the world
Do we panic or fear
The very next morning
Cylinders are found
Metallic and shiny
Making a humming sound
An unscrewing grind
These cylinders emit
As...

Schrodinger's Lesion
Their numbers drawn, the backwards lottery

Hairless children with steroid-swollen cheeks
Feared stigmata of chemotherapy
Daily valiance, heroism unsought
Magic bullets are a relative thing
Modern wonder...

Very little perspective at all,
About what the future holds

But if you asked me for my thoughts,
I will explain what I think
It could surely be...

The Stone Garden-2

Tears, crystal shards of frozen miracles, cascading
From the heavens above, swallowed whole by
Mother earth.

Lies a hidden chamber, of...

It never brought me fame or fortune;
But still I’m content with the path I chose.
I never rose to high positions or seats of power;
But I’m happy to have influenced the lives of others.

The Alchemy of Sugar Cookies
On strange days

baking cookies

For it is winter outside

myself with graduated cylinders
that recall the lore
of cups and ounces.

In a stroller, with circular wheels, I would ride,
As I became restive, and wanted to roam,
My parents bought me a trike, so I could leave home,

From My Prison Cell
Seated in a cell of this prison world
I watched the night sky
Through a window,
A tiny one
Sealed tight by metal bars
Seeming to tell me
That mightier they surely are
Mightier than me
Mightier than everything else!
The night sky is...
