A Past Pastime
Humpty Dumpty lived in make-believe land, like dreamy shadows get long;
And he dwelt in a house near a wall, among merry, crimson, oriole throngs.
He had a figure equally rotund and jolly, and was therefore loved...

Flight of the Firefly
I walked a wooded path at night;
Down in the vale: a hint of light.
It shone as through an open door:
A faint, soft glow, and little more,
And sounds of bells, to my delight.

So many, maybe millions
No, billions. Trillions?

of white stars; sandal season squall.

January's record accumulation.
Weeks of hour after hour after hour
upon day upon day upon day of

Cowpoke
Cowpoke
by Michael R. Burch, circa age 16
Sleep, old man...
your day has long since passed.
The endless plains,
cool midnight rains
and changeless ragged cows
alone remain
of what once was.
You cannot know
just how the Change
will rape the windswept plains
that you...
