The Worm Turns
A WEEK IN THE REDWOODS
A WEEK IN THE REDWOODS
Trees taller than a cell phone tower
The iPhone says
you are not getting your messages
the Redwoods say – listen
THE WORM TURNS
THE WORM TURNS
Remember
back in the day
when jocks had the locks
and geeks were nerds and nerds
and the nerds were geeks
But today
our computer has a virus
and they’re
like the gods of Greeks
PICTURE A SNOWFLAKE
PICTURE A SNOWFLAKE
Picture a snowflake
Post it to the internet
Million now alike

NOVEMBER 11, 2004
It is Remembrance Day in Canada
Veterans Day in the good old USA
I am working from the house
faxes come in and faxes go out
People write me nice letters and send
beautiful pictures through the computer
I say “I love technology”
And then I remember
In Fallujah today
people in tanks as big as trains
are pushing pretty red buttons
and blowing out real people’s brains
