SNOWMOBILES

*

Footprint recessions
invade the cherryblossom
expanse of snows

White boat wake foam
follows the dory upon
the vast blue of the seas

On the azure sky
a fleet of
grey clouds floats
.. as boats

Last as long,
none would,
as the brown ruts
in the deep green woods

ECSTATIC STATE
*
One went to NEO State
Another went to
... the ecstatic state
when he did meditate
*
SHRIMP TAILS
*
This is a tale
It a woman entails
who removed
no entrails
as she ate live little shrimp
and got anaphylactic shock
ignoring their sweet black
eyes on stalks
as she left a trail
of their sweet fanned tails
*
SUBMERGED GARDEN
*
A vision of a submerged garden
full of ancient Roman
statuary of gods and
goddesses. Water slowly
fills the garden
submerging the statues.
A soul is no longer
concerned with the mars
of war or the venus
of external beauty.
*

BELIEFS SHOULD BE NONVIOLENT
*
I believe in reincarnation...

Isaiah: I will speak to you from other lips
Jesus: Who do men say that I man.. some say you were Elijah Lord..
some say you were Jeremiah (paraphrased)

and I believe that I had more than 1 life as a Native American..

It was perhaps in my Native American lives that my reverence
for Mother Earth became a realization that God indwells the trees
and the flowers

but no belief of any human being... has the right to spill over
into murdering an animal
*
CARMA

*
Is it the driver's fault
that worms by his
tires
are smashed on asphalt?

Is it the driver's fault
that ants are driven over?
lightning bugs killed by windshields?
that
seabirds are covered with
oil from spills

WHAT CAUSES BALDNESS
*
Eureka! Yorick!
It's acid uric!

fOOTNOTE:

Baldness is correlated
to uric acid or trioxypurine...
a preurine present
in the muscle cells
of butchered animals
birds and fishes

ESPN
*
On ESPN the rodeo
breaks the legs of horses..
and the necks of bulls
and from 2 different directions
2 cowboys pulled
a calf
in half
*
CATERPILLARS
*
Of zillions of beings Caterpillars
are mindless killers
bulldozing Mother Earth tree pillars,
squirrels,  frogs and caterpillars
creating unrooted mud
and tragic flood
*
WILMINGTON COLLEGE
*
Wilmington College, a Quaker
school founded by the son
of those who
left the South.. not wanting
to be party to slavery..
yet now the school supports
Heifer International
which supports animal
kidnapping and knavery
Author's Notes/Comments:

school at wilmington.edu
