craving dust
no more water
says enough is enough —
send-off

(Hurricane Dorian)
Fragile to the touch,
Like a rainbow in the sky,
When you dream, you live,
In the heart of the sacred,
Let your dreams carry you off.
The Tower of Pisa started leaning
Builders knew by floor three the meaning
Soft earth they say
Still stands to this day
More than 16 feet off center careening
Round pizza, triangular slices, SQUARE box!
Uh what's wrong here, someone's a real dumb ox
A round box would be better
It would fit like a sweater
As of now it sure blows my lavender socks off!
A polite way of saying someone's a little off-center
Say they're flaky, psycho, peculiar, or bizarre
I'm really nice though
To old ladies, love I show
Cept if I don't see em while driving my car
Skinny kids
Wrinkled clothes
Crooked windows
Non-symmetrical
Snowman slightly off center
The “Olds”
Wrinkled fenders
A round-headed driver
A teetering toboggan
Hanging from its roof
The artists
Sipping hot cocoa
wind blast cold to bone
plants, animals frozen stiff
dead winter kill off

Steppin’ Off
My Platform
I
Will
Miss you,
It’s only so long
And not a swan song
I have projects awaiting
They need some attention
An untenable encumbrance
Far too many to mention
So I’ll be takin’ time out
Or bound to get worse
September First
Steppin’ off
The babies babble; then they talk.
They crawl, then stand and soon they walk,
Delighting in their new-found skills;
Observing them gives non-stop thrills.
But as they grow, they'll find some friends
And as their circle thus extends,
Our star will fade as it should do
Though hopefully, our love's the glue
To hold them fast as time goes by
Without the need for how or why.
Yet wistfulness creeps in as age
Bumps most of us off center stage.
