Where eagles fly high
And bison and deer run free,
The land of the brave.

Where the planes fly high
And highway and mall hold sway,
The land of the grave....

Outstanding scenes,
Kaleidoscope sunsets.
Land of the bison,
And rivers of peace.
Home of the brave,
Open blue skies,
Majestic colored hills,
And beautiful landscapes....

The THUNDERING HERD 
of beach goers,
like bison of the hunt.
Echoes of Doppler 
caterwauling down the two lane.
Each one,
dodging, weaving, 
horns blowing,
vie to be first.

A buffalo’s another name for bison, 
Don’t you know?

But you can’t boil your Christmas pud
Inside a buffalo …






This is a pun on the word “basin”, which Londoners (and Aussies) pronounce “bison”.
It’s an English thing …...

Clouds rolling through blue pastures like bison over buildings
Perched atop the spires that yield signals to lands far away
Speaking truths to any ear that will listen
In any language worth speaking...

We invented the spear, and the mammoths were dead.
Then our flintlocks and muskets filled bison with dread.
Next came chainsaws and oil:
planting bones in the soil.
What new wonders I wonder will spring from our head?...

Eighteen and eighty-three
Cinema poetry
Wagons precarious
Bandits? Hilarious!
Not so gregarious
Shooting at me! 

Lightning miss yellow hair
Not too bad, pretty fair
Oregon, here we go
Shooting a buffalo
With Sam, Comanche beau
Bison for free!...

We cannot eat lies
or feast on empty promises

No more than the bison,
starving in the desert sand

We cannot clothe our children
as we run from the Wasichus

Our teepees torn and freezing
amidst the winter snows

(Pine Ridge South Dakota: Late September, 1994)...

Relieved from horrible attacks of lions
Elephants, hippos, Crocodiles, bears, wolves
Tigers, cape buffalos and wood bison...
Cows and sheep and goats and rabbits and swine 
Chicks and ducks took shelter under humans
Only to die each moment fearing slaughter...!

In pre-historic times
Man painted on walls
the things he wished
for.Food.Success
So holy was this act 
it migrated to churches.
Success.Power.
What we wish for.
Eastern art contains
natures elements.
A mountain.A river.
Our peaceful dreams.
Art is important.
Everybody loves it....

Life is full of fun;
But without batten 
Of values beacon
Life will be just a hun.
If you want in life won
Approx values bidden –
Not money, values one
Can lead to success done.
Difference between bison
And you is not a billion
But values based action.
It sets your steps begun
From beast to a good human....

Controversial boxing legend with a distinctive lisp, "Iron Mike" Tyson.
 The sheer impact of his punch? Probably like being rammed by a Bison.
   
  Ex-convict/former bad boy; paid his debt to society without exemption.
   Came out of prison, got boxing license back, took road to redemption.

It is odd that I have made it this many years without the knowledge that I needed a bison belt. Hank’s sells one with a one hundred year warranty. My parents should have given me one fifty years ago. But I’m going to live forever, so I figured, sure, why not. They need to up their game, go for the two hundred year guarantee. They can call it the bison-tennial edition…...

“Oh, give me a home where the buffalo roam …” —Dr Brewster M Higley VI


Oh, give me a home ...
where the big bison bellow,
bellowing in beautiful
bucolic backgrounds,
backgrounds begging
backpackers beware,
beware of being beset by
big bison bellowing!

Beset by a bison?
Bison basics best behavior—
Better to back up bovine-like
than be busted up by a bison

Better believe it!...

spirit grass

wind wanders through 
invisible bison graze
raise dust devils that flirt with larks
buzzing insects in the air
swirl dip rise into the sun

swishes almost whispers
play around ears 
not quite within range for words
ghosts less than clear
more than shadows, skydance

green blades reach
between the bones of children
grandmothers, mothers, wise men
sweet red blood fed the roots
a time ago...
