                               a hubcap    propped

I think I can fix that the silent man said
I can follow you home after church if you want
The woman handed him the hubcap
You really think so?

Driving along orange and lavender blue peaks 
Where Littledeer’s rabbits parade through 
Rolling hills of pink and yellow wildflowers
Along the French River and broad rapids 
Down in the valley on a golden Fourth of July 
Iridescent tiny hummingbirds 
Whirl around a garden of ten foot tall sunflowers
As a copper pipe scarecrow with a rusted hubcap shield 
Remains on guard to protect them all...

I have this small birdbath
in my backyard
apparently the talk of the
whole Bird-town -- not much
larger than a good-size hubcap, 
one would think it was Lake Erie

is fat pheasant to a snake -- a jackrabbit
seldom fast enough for a hungered, blood-thirsty
coyote once targeted -- even a cartoon Willy would

Eventhough these colors abound
black and white is all thats found

Right and wrong,good and evil
careless in our seats we swivel

Sympathetic try to be
for the pathetic twisting me

Can't shake'em since they know know better
can't get loose from tightening fetters

Their pain I feel,I try too deal
but it's like a hubcap,without a wheel

Like a bird without it's flying pinfeathers
freefall facing stormy weather

Black and white abstracted gray
paradise brings another day.......
