Howling from the hind end of the pack, 
Scorching the composted leavings 
Of established orthodoxy as a pillar of flame 
Showing the way for true rock & rollers. 
It’s...

Once, 
About ten minutes ago in the year 
2006 or 
2549, depending upon which avatar or
 Messiah is consulted, I  
 Tumbled out of my bed to the 
Untranslatable 
Predawn
 Cackle of 
Frantic voices
Descending.

Hanging out with me may be whatever,
But talking to me,
When you really begin talking to me....

With a lid to keep out contamination.

I look out the window at the tree
in the back yard next door
just behind a small yellow house.
Its crown is still green, but I 
know leaves will fall. 

A dump truck
with a flashing yellow strobe

When I was Seven, 
Six of us piled in to a shiny
New Buick. 
“A quick errand across town” 
It was hot
I fell asleep. 
I was awoken 
By the screams.
A dump truck had eaten 
us up...

But it did not.
She then speculated that...

Error or mistake for me is impossible to make

Requiem lost within the ever after frown,
and it's down;
glorious fluff a flutter and a raining,
to the dust, my lungs farewell.

For cancer, nay a zodiac's best friend
and it's cursed horoscope, to end-

Pretend Play
 

As the day approaches an early dawn
I watch you playing out in the lawn
With your bulldozer you made a road
For the dump truck with the heavy load
You’re so cute playing out on your...

Saving the World

I wanted to write a poem
That would change the world.
Incite deep thought.
Spur others to action!
Save the world!

Crossing swords with evil perps!
Scathing missiles unleashed from the
Molten fires of my sharp...

A pink tutu with frothy petticoats and a red and white dump truck.

A gelding and a mare.
The gelding's name was "The Cheyenne Star",
With a temperament so fair.

She was anything but sweet.
She looked just like a...

Left a gaping excavation.
They built a chain link fence 
Around the hole.
Once the footers and foundation
Were sufficiently established

Will be accomplished.
