few chomps from his words 
unfold all hues in cloudburst

silence when i open the door
silence when i close it again
no one to make a noisy fuss
no one to welcome me in
no one barks at the mailman
no one brings the little ball
no one chomps the squeaky toy 
but love still comes to memories call...

An apple a day 
Keeps the doctor away.
With the meal finished
My daughter is still hungry
An hour later, anyway.
Reprimanded by her mother,
Acquiesced by her father,
She chomps away silently,
Juicy brick after juicy brick.
She is never, ever sick....

She’s a cereal killer
She chomps the Wheaties into bits
She’s a cereal killer
But please let’s not have any fits.

She masticates harder than most
She’s a killer of breads
Does serious damage to cinnamon toast
She’s the one of whom nightmares dread.

She’s a cereal killer
All the way up and down the kitchen
Now that you’ve been warned,
Please stop your annoying b…………………....

There once was an old geezer named bob
who loved to munch on corn on the cob
but since he wore false teeth
kernels got underneath
and so he'd turn them down with a sob.


Sitting on the can he read an add
touting a brand new fancy doodad 
so he pulled up his pants
got some dental implants
and chomps more corn than he ever had.

Cat caught the mouse in my head
no more scurrying around up the walls
for him
I feel him squirm and I hear the crunch
of his head being chewed on
His mousy tail hanging from the cats mouth
I have to lie down
as it chomps away
I quiver with the mouse
and squint my eyes like the cat
its jaw clenched
drooling between chomps

I think I must eat the cat
the cat that ate the mouse
I'm not sure I can
or where to start
but somehow
this is true...

Early light
on an almost grass-green.

Appaloosa coated cat
chomps on a freshly caught sparrow.

One ruffled wing flies away
upon a brisk wind.

A perfect morning
for watching,
taking note,
for observing yourself
reacting.

Disgust and joy dance
in the same circle of light.
Keep looking...

soon
you may see
a low hanging squirrel
whisking its tail
behind your eyes

as if you were
a lens held to the eye
of a curious sun

or some yet greater
flame of life....
