Do not topple yourself with verse
Verse - it isn't even hardly
It's more like a list
Of harmless grains
You might find in a fourth grade schoolbook

Not a pretty picture
Jacarandas stink
Life moves on
People die and so forth
News to me
News to you
Good news
The good news

Poetry will not save you
But you can save poetry

All you have to do is sneeze three times
and say
there's no place
like home

Meeting people to eat
The people of Mexico
I want to go home
Lollipop does just fine
Nothing in the middle
And I have to bite
I haven't read anything
For a long time

Shave myself good
Damn fine
Somebody swallow me

I never could think that way
Got no problem talking
Popular possum
Play yourself
Hey
You're pretty good at that
Did you know?

Do you understand a Shakespeare of a bloke
A man looking for some kind of love
Writer no doubt
Sometimes you don't know how a person's work
Can Be anything other than something that hooks them
Early on
Until they don't know they are doing it anymore
It should be something you love
It should be what you love
Lusioned much with love
I lay a centipede awake
On my desk
The centipede takes off it's several boots
And stays a while
Calling itself Faith

found halfwit
produces
Pheromones

over the counter
furious abstruseness mistaken
for an impetunosity
for blabbermouth

A Student Sitting

Who's rude
When you walk right past
And I'm stoned and I'm silent

Purple hair
Take up the girl
Who knows me and my position

I think too much
Somebody knows me thinking
Fortunate unfortunate

Cross-legged bear interrupted
The lecture begins
And it's time to turn the page

Just because we are the greatest country in the world does not mean, automatically, that we are its greatest people. It is the call to do good and behave righteously in the face of freedom itself that makes our country the very finest, but our country, our land, is so much more than we can be, though we never had the grace to see it. So take up your grace as you take up a mountain.

Love and Forgive

Who opened the door
To that redhead

Licorice afternoon drinking
On the park bench next to your
Favorite park bench

A curtain will do just fine
But the stage should be hidden somehow

Cope

Park

Was a baby born? (Did you take care of it? and love help me and Jesus help me)
