A Not So Typical Morning In The South
My day starts off as usual. Im a creature of habit so, I take the same side road that I take every day on my way to work. It may not be the most direct way, but theres rarely any cars on this road so I get to open it up a bit. Ill take 10 mins out of my way to keep moving at a quicker pace than a more direct route where I have to move slower 10 times out of 10.
I come to a part where the road curves around to the right and just as I come out of the bend something catches my eye in the road. What the fuck is that? Its trotting towards my car. I hit the brakes firmly to slow...

Human Animals
In the shadow of the ancients, we walk,
with the gods of creation hovering near,
testing and revealing our place and purpose.
We are like the animals,
sucking the tender breasts of our mothers,
breathing the same breath of life
and finding the same ends.
As the sparrow falls, so too, do we,
each death is but one note in the song,
each life a brief, small pitch sung in truth
against an infinite silence.
We embrace each other with animal lust
and make new life as intended by our creators.
We writhe...
with the gods of creation hovering near,
testing and revealing our place and purpose.
We are like the animals,
sucking the tender breasts of our mothers,
breathing the same breath of life
and finding the same ends.
As the sparrow falls, so too, do we,
each death is but one note in the song,
each life a brief, small pitch sung in truth
against an infinite silence.
We embrace each other with animal lust
and make new life as intended by our creators.
We writhe...

Nobody Cares That You Were Chased by a Donkey in Sardinia
She was probably rehearsing telling the story
as the event was happening
something about a donkey
persisntely rubbing up against her
which caused the other four teachers
at our last day of school happy hour
to ask why
Why would a donkey do that?
Eww.
I think he liked you, liked you
I quip
as I dip a chip into the cruelly fiery salsa
at the Mexican restaurant
in one of the most Mexican parts of town
now I'm being mildly pathetic
playing up my ethnic experience.
I was running so fast my heart rate...

Magic Deer
I was habitually lost
in a muck of random thoughts.
I approached the open front door.
My heart was magically floored.
A big deer stood close to the porch.
Head on he stared gently at me.
Into me, through me.
A creature of equal strength and grace.
Could he be memorizing my face?
Or was it the fresh flowers,
that he wanted a taste?
Poised motionless,
for what seemed so long.
He sprang forth into the back woods,
but the magic was not gone.
No need for a single human word.
A spiritual peace was formed. ...

Fatty
Sometimes she sits on my padfolio
as I am in mid verse composure...
out on the back patio.
But a girl squirrel can't resist my nuts
and I can't say no to anything
that had half of her tail fur torn off.
I call her Fatty but it's mostly tit.
Maybe even a half dozen tits...or more...
I lost count after six.
So I figure she's a single mom,
if that's not too crass a thing to say,
and sometimes she makes off
with one of those extra long peanuts.
You know.
The ones with three instead of...

Mortem Immaturus in Maio: A Scene of Putrescence, Grief, and Rain
The grime-coated walls of a cement-made bodega house a family of two; her mother cries out beside her, howling, a grief-stricken tune—it is a dog-eat-dog world after all. Four walls echo silence and few.
The buzz of an old lightbulb— swarmed by a myriad of flying termites, the quiet whine of my panicked and labored breath, the heaving and puffing of a mother dog.
The skies cry out above us: its tears soaking the unclipped growth—that surrounds concrete foundations. A reek astir, odor of: wet loam, mold, fungi, and wood encapsulates us in a bubble, suffocating, with a...

Feral Furphy
In the scientific realm
of impossibilities,
2 sides of the coin
exists for this thought …
I wonder if animals, pets
formulate opinions
As sentient beings,
they definitely have
likes and dislikes
a wide range of feelings
some, even
complex emotions
But what would it take
for them to have
an opinion!
For humans,
most of our tastes
are stuck in our
mouths

Beware Of The Mink
If you want a mink as a pet
You will end up with regret
Unless you get one when it is small
Adult ones can't be domesticated at all
They are aggressive predators of sorts
Never thinking twice before they bite
They'll strike and sometimes even maul
They don't make a safe pet at all
You will end up with regret
Unless you get one when it is small
Adult ones can't be domesticated at all
They are aggressive predators of sorts
Never thinking twice before they bite
They'll strike and sometimes even maul
They don't make a safe pet at all

Mata Furry
On a Spring day,
five years ago,
I heard a loud knocking at my front door.
Approaching to answer,
I heard a faint scratching.
First checking the peep hole,
I saw not a soul.
Then the bell rang.
Carefully, with trepidation,
I opened to see
a pure white bunny staring up at me.
Irresistibly adorable I let the little guy in.
Barely crossing our threshold,
the creature hopped
to our den
as if on a mission.
I said, “well aren't you bold” and...

A Close Encounter
My uncle, for my birthday, takes me to the local zoo.
I want to see the tigers and the baby kangaroo!
There's loads of stuff to do here; which mammal to see first?
I'm so very excited that I feel like I might burst!
First, a very handsome camel is majestic yet aloof;
then some cheerful dolphins splash me; glad I have my waterproof!
Ten orangutans are playing on some rope that has been strung;
we sit and watch an emu, tending to her precious young.
We see a gorgeous possum, in impressive form;
then cool down in the reptile house, because...

Surprise guests
Are you coming to my party? It's going to be so great!
Just walk on in, or run, or catch a lift with someone's mate.
Two friends are at the station - bravo, let's go and pick them up;
we'll bring them to the party and then let them choose a cup.
There's a flag out in the garden so you know where it will be;
There'll be such fun that you won't want to stop, I guarantee!
I'll put on games and serve great food for sure, but first a guess:
who's here as guest of honour and is going to address
the reason for this gathering, so joyous...

The Mouse
Midnight: I lie on the bed, a
song plays in my head- but which?
Ah, I don’t know. I close my eyes,
but no use: no oblivion, no
peace. No medicine of all
times. And so I get up and leave
my room. A coffee! Why
not? Therefore I go to a shelf and
grab the coffee, but I hear something.
What’s there? I look around and see
a mouse, a molecule hurrying
to escape in the infinity of the planet,
in the sea of the night. I feel
ready finally for sleep,
for the dreams remaining to me.
