written: July/2014


Run children run!
Run sister run!
Run brother run!

the house
that's 
no longer
your home -

Since the Jurassic
Time continually passes
Animals and people smoking or eating different grasses
Staying active
Instead of remaining passive
The population now massive
I roll around solo or among the masses
Seeing it crystal clear, or it's fogging up my glasses
In...

Green Trees Don’t Make It

The ugly green trees
Standing guard 
in front of my house.

And I think to myself
Who owns the trees?
And what do they think of us?

Are we their friends?
