Seduction Interruptus
...She throws herself at the feet
of the unimpressed—
rolling, rubbing and yowling,
an opera of yearning
for the neutered elite.
They blink, stretch, then saunter off
for another nap
on the sun...

He can bark in English, Arabic, and Greek.
He’s expert in canine mathematics,

and is fluent in bow-wow doublespeak.
And yo...

Poem By My Son Trystan
...No more
Mothballs and cedar assault my nose
The dust mites and stale air dry my throat
A wardrobe that is just that
The lion roars no more
Neutered and robbed of his fire

...I’d be a cat, born to a mother already a spoiled house cat.
I would also be the one orange one in the litter,
the one everyone falls in love with.

a mysterious fog ahead,
restrained by fury without wind,
Hot air born to burst,

a plan to be special

Just hit '39' again, so I'd better not tarry
