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
