I lie awake inside my mind's ride
Gotta body-quake it away side by side
I fly away from my cage inside
And…I…and I tried to peacefully hide

"Tiny ones like that one there can pass for newly-borns...and runts, in...

The Carnivore Within...

Meaty morsels besiege
this vegetarian advocate
yet, the atavistic Jainist within me decries,
egg hen hies his, and lamb hence
carnivorous ache that won't abate
case in point being on the horns

hoof ah dill ham ma, neither willing,

Wine glasses clash…the car crash
With a miracle in disguise

are running all around.

FOR SALE
Beautiful paint stallion
Lookin to sell
What I really gave for him
I'll never tell

Ain't been broke

Run around, fall down a lot,
play all day in your sandbox,
spill your milk and throw your peas,
say you'll only eat ice cream,

EMERALD LAKE

I believe you want to wade in clear blue water,
But the Yukon presents a treetop view,
Of a lovely lake, emerald son, not daughter.
I was a traveler from the East Coast, one of few,

Sometimes my sweetie sings to me.
	He’s loud and often gets off key
	and out of tune, but I don’t care.
	We’re always such a happy pair. 
	I think he’s charming as can be.    ...

If I’d been a boy when I was young,
I would have put caps in my gun.
I might’ve dug worms up to scare the girls,
And laugh as they’d squeal or they’d run.

My bicycle spokes would have...

I'm off to see the Wizard, the man behind the curtain
He can help me I am quite certain
I am a different colored horse
And I am tired of people staring of course

Enclave or enormous but pretty king mask 
Brick per brick Rome's whack on an iron task

A shield to that tactful lions roar
His safe I'm saved from an odious boa
