the purpling River Manjees
and Tozzath watches from the bank,
the seat of his maroon pantaloons soaked with mud,
his nostrils flaring with the fragrance of ombadalias,
whose lacey petals flutter

Four interdependent 1940s through 1970s patriarchally managed businesses,
without substantial questions about who should wear pants,
yet with a surprising matriarchal cooperative understory.
The boxers outnumbered the...

Transmutation
As the peacock-sage
waves of whimsical peace
faded in silence's
pale watercolors,

In the dream of retracing their

Hidden in the hills away from the eastern city's pollutants,
Where the creme de la creme masquerades in cowled hoods.
