Unknown water
dripping off known roof
tapping at sill
What does it want?
~ ~ ~
Deer silent
appear
bound away
Where does sound go
when it goes away?
does the forest fall?
I watch the worm
I watch the deer
I watch the year
~ ~ ~
Kin of my yeast
crawled from the sea
made back with two beasts
Roaring pedal to the metal
rushing cross the bridge
o for more petal mental
~ ~ ~
Help us Mr Burroughs
the MAGAts are on the move
in naked launch

My Morning Dental Cleaning
“You have to fill out this information.”
I already filled it out last year.
“You have to do it every year, for the insurance people.”
I don’t have insurance.
“You have to fill it out anyway.”
No I don’t, I replied as I left.

The lie of night
lays with lie of day
begats tomorrow
In sitting sun
toking under dogwood tree
counting my nail holes
~ ~ ~
O to be dog
head out car window
fur face full sun
I’m a sparkplug short
on a cold damp day
~ ~ ~
