Theaters of trees 
Evenings balconies of birds
An hour early...

traverse.   they're mobile drive-in

messed-up minds create
massive unfigured acts
theaters of war

First taste of life.

Pointless to say.

Appealed to the eye.

Luring me astray.

Although bitter.

Still the sweetest bite.

Ephemeral.

A moment in time.

Eternal recall.

In the theaters of my mind....

‘Tis they who are fabulists:
The Fakers-to-be who are not
And the Fakers-not-to-be who are.
‘Tis they who employ language
As theaters for thoughts
Composing black apparel
To sheathe the naked corpse
Of the often too black Truth.
‘Tis they with the organized souls
Who are fabulists....

Get out of the cocoon of sadness 
or give me a kiss of leave
Get out from backstage of Saucy
or open your body theaters
Get out of the bowels of the dream 
or death in the slaughterhouse absence
Get out of my fingers …
Do you told me you are on the way to forty?
Get out now 
Get out of the poem!...

Julie Andrews
Eat your heart out
My sound of music
Owns these hills
The pretty painted trees and all
The freedom sloped on every side
The Hudson hovering beyond
These psychedelic theaters that nature cooks by itself
Auf wiedersehen, frauline
These hills are alive with me.

The planes were lined up in a queue,
A reminder of something I knew.
     They awaited permission
      Like at intermission 
In theaters outside of the loo.

One by one each one skyward immersed
As the rest inched up closer to first
     But like women in line
     Still not given the sign
There were tempers (and bladders!) to burst....

It’s almost time for the Academy Awards.  
Theaters are showing their best movies
and someone I know wants to go.

I used to pay 15 cents to see Roy Rogers 
in black and white cowboy up on Trigger. 
Today with popcorn, candy and a drink  

it costs 20 bucks almost, just for me, 
to see violence in brilliant color. 
Six teens laugh a row ahead of me.

Life is fleeting for some
longevity comes to a few
we pray we die from old age
not as children, attending our schools

People ran down, in the streets
while others are shot, in our stores
nightclubs, theaters and parks
nowhere is safe, anymore

Moments turn into hours
not knowing, is worst of it all
as they read the names of the victims
on their knees, the mournful did fall...

Oh, no! How terrible that everything in the area is closed
malls, theme parks, airports, movie theaters
how at this moment that the thrill of going out right now is gone

         That's because at this time everyone including myself is experiencing COVID-19 and the Pandemic; pretty sad isn't it?

But until all that is hopefully gone my family and I will stay home and still do activities....

A breeze of freedom blows 
 on our heart's hue and tone
   in how we stretch and yawn
     and lounge lazily on our lawn,
       when we know that we're alone,
         and when we're most on our own;
           not in how we behave with others,
             nor in our roles in life's theaters
               fully aware we're being watched,
                 conscious of how we might appear
                   with our wrinkles and all our warts!...

I used to love to shop the mall
And check out every store.
At Yankee games, I’d track each ball
And carefully keep score.

I used to watch new movies when,
In theaters, they first aired.
On Broadway, I’d catch shows and then,
Opinions were compared.

I used to visit countries where
I’d wander through the streets
And with my husband, we would share
Some European treats.

I used to think those times would last,
But now, alas, they’re in the past....

Carnage at churches & clubs
Mass shootings at concerts & malls
Massacres at schools & theaters
Our children walkout today
Peacefully protesting gun violence

Background checks for all
Bump stock elimination
Military weapons ban
Commonsense gun reform
What our students are fighting for

People dying needlessly
Drive-bys occurring daily
Innocents gunned down in the streets
We need gun safety taught nationwide
Rallying for the wellbeing of U.S. all...
