“Street seen”

Street seen

I wore shadows.

She wore light.

We met in the street.

The breeze played at painting us together.

The sun declined to stay.

For a moment,

As the light faded,

raindrops dappled, and the breeze whispered,

We were as one.

“The Tong Dynasty”

The Tong Dynasty

King Kong and Godzilla met in a kitchen. /

King Kong heard Godzilla wailin’ and bitchin’. /

“My toast! My toast! I can’t get it out. /

“My toast! My toast! It’s stuck in that snout. /

Every time I reach in sparks fly out. /

Angry it is!” He stomped round about. /

King Kong reached forth with bamboo tongs. /

They grabbed that toast like a pair of thongs. /

Godzilla thanked Kong and went on his way. /

Thus, civilization was saved that day.
