One Percenter Blues
My Merc is great
My cup holders rate
My seats auto warm
My bunions and corns.
I got the one percenter blues.
My maid’s an alien
Her English is failin’
I keep explainin’
That her taxes are makin’ her
One of these one percenter blues.
I got our money
All sweet as golden honey
My life is plu-sunny
For me and my rare bunny.
I got the one percenter blues.

Two
Cold rain and wind leave /
two seeds in a pod of concrete. /
November ends.

Colors
Down the evening road, /
up the lavender mountains, /
sundown colors dreams.

Laughter
I hold up the sky!
boasts the Catalpa tree.
Overhead, clouds laugh.

Speak
The end goes to Him. /
End over end over you. /
They juggle God’s balls.

Silence
The wind rattles limbs /
sweeps the leaves after the rain. /
Ravens stay silent.

The seat
I bought the book /
with the cow on the couch /
and I wonder /
is this a Freudian slip, /
a Jungian shadow, or /
my mother’s sofa.

Joys
Trees stand naked. /
Flowers succumb to the cold. /
The sun holds its joys.

One day
One day there will be no cat.
One day there will be no fence.
What then of the scratching?
