Short Spyglass Poems

Where mind sews cobwebs,
I take out a dissolving spyglass.
The space between this self
looks back seeing nothing.

That which holds,
rolls over mind-clouds,
finding no anchors.

The day will take me soon,
make me be what I claim to be,
but in any next pre-dawn
surfacing,

I will know again,
that I am not....

Run Aground

Arr, Matey! Me ship has run aground,
In this shallow world, I search for character, but none to be found.
Through me spyglass, a foggy, distant world, unclear,
This incessant devil bird squawking in me ear.
A chest full of silver, gold, and jewels galore,
But what I treasure most is a love forevermore....

What do bugs reach for,
when they start to sneeze?
They use an outdoor tissue,
and blow their noses on the leaves.

Sea waves
surface guards
of inner wet lords. 

===================

Controversial storm
hard-tackling the captains ship
God is the referee.

===================

captains spyglass failed
overwhelmed by ambushed storm
crew helter skelter.
===================

Plain hearted sea
men sailed
pirates flags raised up.

===================
Autumn sea breeze
echoing melodies
a beach lullaby.

Little Burrito
  You're quite a lass
Please don't stumble
  You might break your -- last
  set of ankles you'll ever have

Oh, Little Burrito
  You're full of class
Much better to have that
  than a great big ole -- tank of gas

Little Burrito 
  Please stay on the grass
I wouldn't want to have to whack you
  right there in your -- spyglass

Well, little burrito
  We've managed to amass
a whole bevy of gawkers, just-a
  hopin' to read the word -- BASS...
