GrubbingAdjusting Appetizing Palates.

I am the one who has tasted life;
The one who has had a taste of life.

Seldom a full meal-
I come hungry-
To leave satisfied...

The Nana HexEvery time I get happy
the Nana-Hex
comes through.
A dog's canines
change into chainsaws,
toothpicks turn into knives,
coral reefs diverge into dirty sponges,
a sandcastle into a mausoleum,
a soldier-ant burrows deeper
into my borrowed grave,
reveille trumpets tap
a tip-toed...

Potato MountainPotato Mountain
I will arrive
an habitual escapee
from the rabbit warrens

By ferreting north
in search of
breaks in the maze
rifts in the grid
I will follow
a stream beside
the climbing track
and yet higher
To a saddle below
the great ridge

In hopes but for freshbread,
A new bakery apprentice,
Took me aside...

Shuffling WreckShuffling wreck, legacy of a life well spent;
Knees creaking, clicking articulations, a
Spine complaining, shoulder crunching.
Legs spindly toothpicks beneath a pregnant olive,
A-cups sagging. Lungs afire at the
Leaping up of stairs, gasping breaths.

this is the femur, this is

this is the fist, the ring
finger, the soul.

Breathtaking ImperfectionsFirst class brains
Streets populated with them
Flaunting certificates--useless
Plus innate knowledge practical,
But unrecognised
Tightfisted bourgeois;
Alienated job opportunities
Reserved for own kids born and unborn
Capitalism overblown;nauseous
Grab and keep philosophy elevated
Who do you know?Who don't you know?
Keys to haven
