Three score and four years
replete with mailer daemons,
hence mindset adrip
with self denouncing expletive filled bleep

The Face of Livelihoods changed;
From Meat-packing and Manufacturing---

Now with glory and honor pride;
Invested in me we go down in history;
Alum, alum, alumni;

Unseasoned Shoes
What was he thinking when he dropped
by shoelaces his unseasoned shoes?
Did they splash or plip-plop land on lake?
Did they sink like a pirate’s treasure or

Streets: the Maze and Mushrooms
On the streets clinging to cars,
Those smiling faces, sulky little palms.
