I am a puddle
picturing the moon
pretty little
pretty shallow
richer by a pebble-
Splashed, I recover myself.

To The Muse
Heavenly Muse
Am I wrong in insisting
If somebody calls you psychotic, that they

ads for spaces on public buses
to peddle underwear?
'Cause they can and it's there!

Sighed the soprano:
your abs are a treatise on singing
your chest is a cocktail table-
keep singing, Prospero.

Barbarian
He or she who blindly
follows orders from on high:
Who, jealous of any Past
ignores it, or worse, destroys it.

Confort incompatible
with something more essential-
capillaries filled to capacity
impression of verdant health.

Of jealousy I can but say
it's envy spelled another way
and only add, unless I'm wrong,
funny matter for a song

The ego loves a sucker
so cannot but choose selfishness.
That's the downside of delusion,
otherwise so workable.

admitting it's possibility
does not prevent your having a disease
but raises the same possibility
that you don't.
