Prairie boy, tumbleweed, rolling forever
and the only rest if he should tire
is against barbed wire

FOR WILLIAM CARLOS
FOR WILLIAM CARLOS
So much hinges
on a red door in the rain
BIRTH OF HAIKU
BIRTH OF HAIKU
Basho oh Basho
frog’s leap kissing water
wakens the prince
AUSTIN AGAIN
AUSTIN AGAIN
Whenever I’m in Austin
I’m in a skin that feels like home
scratch me anywhere you’ll find a poem
FEELING A DRAFT
FEELING A DRAFT
Overdraft
now reinstated
can draft be far behind
NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND
NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND
Don’t worry boys and girls
your good friends will be back
to send you off to Iran
if you were too young for Iraq
A HAIKU FOR THE HEALING ARTS
A HAIKU FOR THE HEALING ARTS
Red art when you’re blue
Van Gogh was a cutter too
still much hope for you
CRAZY
CRAZY
Crazy they all say she is
and crazy she may be
but I loved it when
she was crazy about me
Y’ALL’SHEIMERS
Y’ALL’SHEIMERS
Getting old and forgetting
that the South lost the war
ANOTHER FOR THE CAT
ANOTHER FOR THE CAT
It’s spring again
and the cat won’t stay in
feralmones must be kicking in
