Golden, deep fat fried, /
Round signs of Spring — Onion rings. /
Olympic pleasure.

New world
We will build beauty /
When we make our new world. /
And plant our ugly.

Thieves
A thousand thieves may /
rip the jonquils from the ground /
but they can’t steal Spring.

Spring
You came unannounced. /
Arising quickly in March. /
Blooms and promises.

COVET-19 Blues
The feeling that you get,
When someone you know is let
In line in front of you.
You are not a high risk dame
Or a gunsel of the same,
But it is a crime and shame, true.
You want to get the stick,
Feel the vaccine do its trick
And tell the virus, “Screw you.”
You’ve waited patiently,
A patient you don’t want to be —
It is worse than the flu.
Then this feeling you get — mean,
Some call it COVET-19,
Because a friend beat you through.
Hey, we’re of the same young age.
We ain’t old enough to be a sage—
So screw you, too.
You say it when no one’s there.
It’s a feeling that you dare not share,
This COVET-19 Blues.

Life
Life is sorrowful/
But fool that I truly am /
I love you, always.

Shadows and sky
Sun climbs to freedom. /
Shadows take root in morning, /
Growing toward blue sky.

Double parked
Into the heavens /
Word sprang forth from the earth: /
“You are double parked.”

Truth
Digging up answers /
Is just like digging up bones. /
Results we’ll bury.
