Short Two Thirds Poems

Hollywood clowns 
spend two thirds of their lives
trying to make people laugh
but when laughter cools and make-up cracks
they get off on making people cry...

Cut out of black paper
Japanese
Thrown before a sky

Of night milk
Janitress of a
Lower house

One toothed,
Point hatted,
Flying in front of a 

Victorian curtain
Two thirds storm,
One third dark....

if adams and eves be
hovels for souls
- and -

their bodies of some 
thirty trillion cells
- then -

they average genes about
thirty five percent human
- meaning -

the adams and eves be as
two thirds earth eden garden
- soil -

mirroring all other life forms
seen in the earth eden mirror
- so that -

in caring for their own health
they be guard'ning the survival

What did you do to be white
Why does that make you always right

Born into privileged by race
The humanity you disgrace

Two thirds a human being by law
Jim Crow skirting its flaw

Civil Rights codified by statue
Voting rights gerrymander by venue

Prison filled with poor black men
No bail plea bargaining innocent condemn

A cigarette a bag of skedaddles
A Black Lives matter a riddle

Choked to death at the hands of the law
An evil heart the white mans flaw...

good-bye 
summer

see you
next year

your turn
autumn

bring your
cool breeze

gleaming
light frost

do your
magic

changing 
leaves from

green to
golden

red and
purple

see them
cascade

leaving 
bare limbs~~

mums and
pumpkins

brighten
porches

kids in
costumes

trick or
treating

special
Thursday

when we 
gather

speak of
blessings

feast on
turkey

autumn 
now is

two-thirds
over

soon we
will be 

singing 
carols...

SEA

Water, very deep to immense depths, no sunlight pierces 
down here – blackness.
Coming to the surface, sunshine sparkles magically, 
a myriad of dancing points of light.

Sea monster curling in the rip tide, powerful muscles 
gracefully propelling him seawards – for food.
Salt water covers so much, two thirds of the globe, all this wetness.

Drown if you breathe it, don’t you dare unless you’re a fool. 
To be a fish, man enjoys the sea, diving, sailing 
or simply watching....
