MY OWN DESIGNS
There are so many designs in the snowflake as lovers take
Designs on each other; for this, Romeo and Juliet are relegated
To the nonexistence of the onion fields where dragons live in tears.
No greater tale of unmeritorious pain and woe than a Juliet and her
Romeo. Likewise, the shepherd boy and herd girl spend their time
On the opposite end of the galaxy; lovers get one night together.
Once in a while I have a dream and take a lover in a German Inn;
No one knew our time together that night. The District Attorney
Knowing my designs, keeps me constantly on all the court dockets.
There are many multifarious designs the night sea has with the dawn
The sea gives us many cries at dawn for all she swallowed at night
Renaissance gave up its designs when reason dawned from the deep.
For all these designs, it must be inferred that there is some kind of
Grand Plan. So many snowflake designs fell on Jesus that cold
Christmas Eve. Every snowflake that night was a map of salvation.
But the District Attorney still keeps me in mind knowing that I like
to go my own way listening to the fickle music of grass; poets
Are mad obeying neither brain chemical designs nor collaring D.A.
