Past unconcerned hens that distractedly 
Scratch
Under frowning protestations from the
Sheltered Lee;
Into the cloaked shadows lain across the 
Cobbled courtyard,
Behind which squats the twisted form of
The old brooding, arthritic apple tree.
Past the neat little cow-byre 
Hosed...

merely a predicament how to winnow

Wally’s going to the mall today to buy some things he needs,
like toothpaste, soap, and bubble bath, and packs of flower seeds.

Sometimes I wake up feelin' like Jordan, Jackson, Earvin, or Brown
Yeah one of the Michaels,
So I analyze how my day will play out
and how will my night go,

I'm a certified street disciple,
in a topsy turvy...

Waste not your time 
On worthless fears
All is illusion anyway.
We  ceaselessly conjure
Make believe worlds 
That care-take the insecurities

Laying here with her
thinking of another
Feeling Low-life's grip on my lobes.
the pulsating heart-beat of pressure.

Let go, Let go!
She wont, she can't, she knows not what i do.
Inevitable,
My first.

Not loves First
Just situations, experience.
Stolen from me

We've got fascists on the left
Nazis on the right
Supremacists in the middle
All dressed up in white

As commies come in colors 
That are hard at times to see
They're still a colorful array 
Of daily catastrophe

Socialists here...

The detective peeked through the keyhole
 As he gathered clues at the scene of the crime
 He knew the suspects well, but things had spun out of control
 And had for a long time

The key, for me, must be those onion domes.
Concentric skins, like Russian dolls, contain:
they don’t obtrude.  Defensive rings explain
the posture.  Let’s not bother Sherlock Holmes
with this one.  Save Bill Bailey’s fine-tooth combs.
They...

Me and you without a clue
Of half the things that we'll go through
From early morn till late at night
Side-by-side through this life
Riding high this Tilt-A-Whirl
You will always be my girl

Up and down in and out
Both...

I’m leader of a Bluegrass Band
A tough critic watches each show
She’s always out there listening
Hears goofs that others never know
 
No reviews in the Newspaper
But after the show, when I’m home 
My wife always gives...
