OF POETIC PROSE AND RHYME IN TRYING TIMES
I’m not whom
You may think
I am
But am the who
That I am
And the coming
To being more
As the belly
Of my soul

War on Thistle
A yellow notice on the gate with bold letterhead states
Noxious Weed Commission and then, in smaller red print, declares:
Demand Notice to Remove Thistle.
This notice is a sudden smack behind the noggin.
Bringing attention to a purple, spiky blossom
on top of an orb wound tightly around a ball of seeds,
swaying in the breeze and heeding this question:
What did you do?
To make the County use its bureaucratic might
and declare thistle plants a blight, a public nuisance
worthy of persecution. And any resistance will cause
an appearance before a judge who'll levy
fines and imprisonment.
What did you do?
Shock begins to wane and reason filters into the brain;
this thistle, that goats devour like its a treat,
it explodes into a cotton suite that birds
use to build a soft nest and squirrels
a cozy den for all their kin.
Is this order just about the plants by the gate,
or does it include plants used by bees,
or the plants that

Modern Bipedal Huminoides
Tire Town USA - An old flour mill with opportunistic metalwork;
windowless, wooden building with last century's red paint and
an open garage with Able Men clad in baggy skins of oil stained overalls.
No clear link between their tools and their linguistic barks.
Babbling as they dance around the wheel rim popper
Until a clean, white skinned maiden walks through the swinging doors.
Check out the hottie in the lobby! yells some charming shark.
The blond goddess, wearing a braless tanktop and white summer
pants draping seductively over her buttocks, stands behind her twin brother.
Used tires, her brother ask the young Able Man by the broken kiosk.
"Hey Boss" the young Able Man shouts as he steps toward the girl.
The young Able Man offers the girl a bottle of water, which she declines.
An older Able Man escorts the boy deeper into the cavernous warehouse.
"It's cold" the young Able Man says to her butt as she walks away and
then his shoulders slump as if the bottle weighs a ton.
This modern young caveman, a grease-smeared untouchable to this filly,
furrows his brows until they nearly meet over his nose and
realizes he can never touch the likes of her.

The Squirrel-My Poetic Prose
Standing in my home’s backyard, gazed at the skies
No poetic prose jumped out, but two staring eyes
It swapped the branches of a tree by a daredevil jump
Whirling, twirling, passing in mid air getting the hump.
All the summer on the tall tree bare and brown
See how the brown leaves are fluttering down
This squirrel, my poetry, bobbing
