"It is not the rich man you should properly call happy, but him who knows with wisdom how to use the blessings of the gods, to endure hard poverty, and who fears dishonor worse than death, and is not afraid to die for cherished friends or fatherland."

a list of words,
spittle drawn in lucid
curves by a gentle tongue, poems un-
covered
and somehow a dog
has taken itself & its tail considerably away
into the mountains or sea or sky, leaving
behind: me, wag.
- John Berryman
covered
wagons, papered
shelves and scented drawers
what were once cliches, now rich stuffed
with thought

supper is planned
as an appetizer
for the filling stuff that follows

I'm in love with The Vinegar Man and Mr. Tanner, but be careful, it could just as easily be you.
"If you're going to write you better have somewhere to come from." Flannery O'Connor
dessert
reminds me of
fluffy clouds of crushed ice
or radiant golden circles
just so

just so
you know this is
not a poem. No sir,
don't accuse me of such a crime
in rhyme.

I thought I heard
pigeons and the downspout
first one, then the other, cooing
in rain
in rain
hail,snow or storm
fidelity demands
us thorns to stand by the side of
roses

When asked how World War III would be fought, Einstein replied that he didn't know. But he knew how World War IV would be fought: With sticks and stones.

roses
token flowers
emblems of the worthy
velvet yield wildly substantial

I yield not my
heart's deepest murmurings
yet still I tread through white waters

sweet desertion
of baseless commitments,
faceless assertions of stolen
live flames

Live flames
damage nothing
when lit in empty rooms;
mine’s cluttered, and arsonists live
next door.
"Don't matter who they are, anybody sets foot in this house, they are company and don't let me catch you remarking on their ways like you were so high and mighty."
Next door,
near the gum tree,
to the left of the boat,
sits a little boy, waiting to
play soon.
play soon
not soon enough
to ford the seven seas
capture crooks and gun-slingers
all told
"It is not the rich man you should properly call happy, but him who knows with wisdom how to use the blessings of the gods, to endure hard poverty, and who fears dishonor worse than death, and is not afraid to die for cherished friends or fatherland."
