Unseen crow caw caw calls me
unknown behind trees behind leaves
leaving me with leaf
song of Sisyphus
and the River Jordan’s other side
plus of course this slide
from birth
thru rest
to death
yet another fine mess
I’ve gotten me into
~ ~ ~
Hot black coffee
white cup America
They raise the price
then shrink the package
~ ~ ~
I’m a weed and caffeine fiend
I can do without
but I tend to shout
~ ~ ~
Bad mood brings brood
am I one of the gods
or simple food?
The plants on the deck
drop their flowers
in cold
I look up
five black wires crisscross blue sky
from nowhere to nowhere
Yet red canvas chair
sitting in sun
invites me to seat
Life’s a game
you gotta stay to play
(old Tik-Tok Man keeps stalking me)
~ ~ ~
Two sides same coin
obverse tale
Was keeps wooing
till done done doing
Eve’s apple unfalling
far from the tree
Her man Narcissist
unsure of we
We’re all seeking hi-rez
in low rent way
Rituals run
punishment and promise in play
~ ~ ~
Want to do the right thing?
think “What would Trump do?”
then do the opposite.
~ ~ ~
I can’t afford his affection
he’s young cat claw
I’m old man skin
~ ~ ~
I observe
digest
occasionally regurgitate
