THE CANON OF FODDER
And ain’t every fodder
of every cannon
dying for someone else’s sins
Sweet Jesus as their model

NEO IS THE NEW OLD
Can you remember
when the con in neo-con
did not stand for convict
COLLATERAL DAMAGE (SUPPLY AND DEMAND)
In a world of perfect balance
it is no wonder
so many innocents are killed
How else would one supply
the increasing number of martyrs
increasing demand for virgins
There are many ways to empty a bed
Disease, divorce, and wars of course
and by sleeping on both sides
CHAGALL
Chagall could fly in his paintings
but could not breathe in his house
If they’d had a good therapist
the world might be a poorer place
BOB MUD IN AUSTIN
(World’s longest mud painting on newsprint)
Bob paints in mud
Brush tickles the earth
She needed a laugh
MOOD DESCENDING A STAIRCASE
What do I do
If daring to share
I bring you down too
TAURUS TRAVELS
When Taurus travels
Roots are torn from the ground
All the world’s a stage
And there’s no plays like home
A TREE IN THE FOREST
(for the grandchildren too)
If you travel
to the far ends of the earth
And do not send her a postcard
were you really there at all
