banana bounty: a poem

I.

lo have i sailed
so many years at sea
so many years away from my family
but it's all good now,
y'all

II.

we have returned
we have returned, glorious and beautiful
for we have the banana bounty
may peace visit this kingdom

we: a poem

so like cattle are we
flying through the air to our jobs
swimming through the ocean to our families
so like cattle are we

so like zoo animals are we
caged like the slaves of tender love
in our cages
like zoo animals

so shall we find a way
a way to scale the mountains
the mountains of our inner hearts
the mountains that teach us things
about life and strength and beauty
and also about being friends
so shall we find a way

short humor-sketch: a second sketch

one day i flipped a coin
it landed heads-up
i laughed
and something hit me in the face

a short sketch

humble young farmer
wakes to find his crops gone
upon their return
he throws his hosannahs skyward

man who lives in room
man who writes things like "destroyed face"
his pants are too tight

toothgrinder goes up a hill and you never see him again

barnival: a poem

barnival bag
sad old hag
in the lake
is a dirty rag

a fish in the lake
a clam in the bake
everyone enjoys
some fresh-baked hake

nonsense women and nonsense men
couldn't put nonsense together again
the barnival is back in town
and poems that rhyme are really good

conscientiousness: thoughts

One day I was thinking about conscientiousness, and how cool it is. It's so fresh and happening!

twerp guts: a poem

with your twerp guts,
twerp.

tom cottage thinks: a poem

in his study,
tom cottage stares at the blank page in front of him
but all he can think of is the hard shell
of the time tortoise
that brought him here

hiero flavius: a poem

you are a great painter
you paint pictures of
bark beetle
wooden raft
that's good
you are a great painter, hiero flavius

the lovely glade: a poem

what enchanting glade is this
where yonder unicorn leaps and hops
and young toads learn how to sing
and a dainty princess is graced by soft moonlight
what the fuck am i saying

untitled aside

a trim tramp on the trampoline

surface tension: a poem

hornet brigade eats the land
say goodbye to the land
hornets shoot out your hand
that sure is useful sometimes
pipe-walkin', a good time
cliff-walkin' is always a good time
jump from that thing, okay,
it's a good time i guess
i made you welcome to this earth
you made it a charnel house
