Is a sign of wisdom,
Stupidity it is,
To overrule corrections.

Open thy eyes and...

In an old briefcase
capsuled for years in a corner
of the shed, I found a rolled up wad
of poems, stalled, still looking 
for something to say, frozen 
in a futile gasp for air.

NOT SURE WHERE I AM.
OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD
I WOULD SAY TROPICAL LAND.

TO THE SOARING TREE TOPS.

LOT'S OF STRANGE SOUNDS
ABOVE AND BELOW.

Dotted swiss in lilac with white raised polka dots.

The Umbrella

By Elton Camp

For a device that is so essential, it would be expected
That over the years it would’ve been finally perfected
But to get most umbrellas open often takes many tries

Our old clothes are stained rags,
Filled with holes, torn from snags,
Hung from bones since we were born,
Totally tattered and overly worn

But a new wardrobe has been bought,
Paid for with blood—that of the Begot,
Hung from a...

Walking upside down
In someone's fluffy dreams of
Sugared lies,

Scented promises...
