RANDOM POEMS 35

 

BREAD

The shopper put
hot dog buns
in her cart..each a
little coffin
for little
cadaver pieces

ORCHARD ORCHESTRATION

he hated sweeping blossom petals
and raking bright autumn leaves
and he was very much afraid of
the nectar loving bees

so he cut down all the cherry trees
scythed down a mighty grove
and all the vines which round
trunk grew
of time he spent a fortune

he now had plastic roses
vinyl tulips styrene orchids
in the barren garden of
his sterile orkin nation

he had no barren ruined choirs
for he had no choirs at all
and birds to neighbors' forests flocked
to stage their orchard orchestrations

MTBE

We read of
the protection of liability
and the delay of action
regarding toxin MTBE.
It is more
difficult of desire to empty be

LOG OF EGO

when the log of ego
burns in thousand tongued
fire.. in which
it sits like
a jewel amidst a
many fingered clasp
.. it gives off heat
and light

(wood burning kills
trees and insects)

THE PERFECT IS EFFORTLESS

The perfect pours
effortlessly
the sun glows
the wind blows
fruit trees grow
streams and love flow
