zz Vapid Versus Viper

If “Vapid” thou call me
Then “Vapid” let me be
Better to be ‘Vapid’
Than a “Viper” like thee

It Matters Not to the Red Wheelbarrow

The red wheelbarrow doesn’t care
that it is rusty from rain

The chickens, however,
hate the taste
of the rust

So much
depends
on their eggs

God is Well

God is well and good
His love will never fail
He does just as He should
Until man attempts to prevail
Placing conditions upon Him
To suit their every little whim

No Defense

There is
no protection

may hurry through bare

Leave Shoes Outside Please

build me a poem like a Japanese house
stark black words set against
crisp white paper wall

elaborate phrases eliminate
rhetorical excess dismiss

clear minded

shaped the clay?

What eyes

Everybody Must Get Stoned?

Dylan said it (wrote it, sang it)
“Everybody must get stoned”

Yes
alright
I find there is
no doubt about

Yet I do not readily see
how it substantially benefits me
to run out to the nearest quarry
just to gather ammunition
that would be better
left to gather
moss

Suffer the Children

Matthew 18: 3
“Truly I say to you, unless you are converted and become like children,
you will not enter the kingdom of heaven.”

Maybe it’s just me, but I never took that to literally mean
childish behavior was to something to be encouraged
or that by petty bickering we might beat
the quickest path to heaven

Love is everything

We Is Us

We two
Each one too long a me
Met too late ever to
Think of being three

No loss
No less the tenderness
Of two
Will amply do for
We

He
Me
Now
We is us

If ever
A feather
Had the power
To knock any
