Crows and me
...
Sitting in the balcony, I sit blank and stare
Two crows in the tree, some flying in the air

I watch them with fancy, don’t know why I feel sorry
They h...

The Quieter You Are
...ENOUGH!
I felt deaf from the ‘noise’ of information,

Asleep at the Wheel

The obscenely convincing,
have arrived in their stealth mobiles.

Suns of Crows
...The throne of the crow
Dominates their subjects below
Scanning each plot of sow

And we caught it the very last day,
Displaying the various works of Bob Staake

The Mobile That Made You Immobile
...Cell phones came, replaced your watch,
Resignedly you just watched;
Took away your alarm clock,
You shrugged and to your way walked;

All things were brought to him at his behest.

For the Hoppers – what a treat!
A gathering of works with which

They are more difficult now to double cross, let alone like.

Oh! The wet howling winds used to call us out,
To see the jolly frogs and dancing peacocks,
And to see the scattered beauty fell about.
Oh! The...

That kids should eat at the table, most every night.
