Like An Eagle To The Sea
Intellectual interactions that stretched miles
Inventor in the mind, praises by the inventions of the hands
Mileage by the success from the journey
Social reform movements are shaping the face of reality
A world of make believe, looking out to a world of cruelty, lies, betrayals, dreams, and disappointments
Political hypocrites always want to play the act of being the virtuous, innocent
The deeds of vile actions witnessed by open hearts, blind eyes, will always be devoid...

Sea Breeze Cafe
In the tourist town of 10B, in the sea breeze cafe, I popped in for a bacon bap and a nice hot latte.
A short dumpy gremlin, whose name was Jolene, was being rude to the customers, tho she was quite pretty.
But only on the face, her greasy hair was tied back in a bun, I'm sure she just like being a b*tch and did it all for fun.
She should work at Karen's cafe, then she would be good at her job, instead of flobbing into people's cups of tea and acting like a yob.
With a screw face on and her arms folded up, she chucked the menu to the customers like...

Dining Out Of Trash Cans
George was an ambitious fox. He is very cunning and intelligent, although he would eat out of trash cans, in the alleyway, in his element.
He takes food home, back to the family den, where his lady fox and cubs are in the forestry of the ends.
He could visit a lot of bins in one night, trying to find a nice delight, when one day he messed up and had quite a fright.
A booby-trap cage had crashed down and locked him inside. There was nowhere he could run, and nowhere he could hide.
He was trapped for the night. He had stepped onto the wrong lawn....

iamb a trochaic anapaest
an anapaestic dance
[No. 9 from The Children’s Collection]
“We are members of a vast cosmic orchestra, in which each living
instrument is essential to the complementary and harmonious playing
of the whole.”―J. Boone
how the whoosh of the wind and the splash of the sea
have conjured to construct an orchestra for me,
and the whisper of raindrops―again-and-again drops―
are sounding as grand as the band on the stand!

Ambling Fleet
I've wandered beyond my shadow
to where the sunlight tapers off through canopies of dark green trees
and darker still
the limbs and seeds.
I have seen egrets here,
dropwort and driftwood curled
into the shape of a slumbersome badger,
no one perishes the thought.
I wouldn't mind
if you happened to
walk with me a while,
down the verge and track,
edged by ferns,
scored by beech,
we can divert
from the shine of the beach's mouth
to follow the upward line, slide,
guide bodies along the...

Mel and Boyo
Chapter 1
Bird Bush
Mel was a ten-year-old boy, and Boyo was eleven years old. They were schoolmates who attended a primary school in the country. Boyo used to wear a straw hat with wide brim when he was not in school. They were mischievous boys, and they were rude to adults and children. Moreover, they often played tricks on each other, and they did the same to other people.
Both boys enjoyed catching birds, and they made traps called callaban from narrow sticks and strong vines. In the mornings, they would go to bird bush and set the traps, and in the...

THE GRIGION PIGRACKLE
THE GRIGION PIGRACKLE
As I walked toward the train station, my mind fluttered over many thoughts.
Ignore them. Ignore them all, I thought. They are merely notes etched into the
'SECOND SCREEN' notepad in the back of my head.
Life exists right here. Right now.
I observe my surroundings. Always.
I live right here right now.
....And so, witnessing the world , as I passed by the TACO CABANNA

HOT FEATHERED TANGOS (2-14-2003, Valentine's Day, San Miguel de Allende, Mexico)
horny male pigeons
in mating season
frantically scurry
around their intended
feathered female
procreative pigeon prey
spreading their
iridescently colored
tail fans
out and down
feather tips
angled
to the ground
as they dance
spin
and sweep around
in repetitious figure eights
and quick step
rapid cooing circles
in hopes of
winning over ...

Acquaintances
I had wanted us to be friends,
But we were merely acquaintances,
These birds that no longer called or come by.
Some thirty years ago when we first bought
The homeplace on a small farm
I would talk to Bobwhite quail with whistles mimicking his name,
Enticing a visit or to keep the conversation going.
But he was only willing to come as far as the wood line,
Where he remained a shadowy figure,
Preferring to talk from his side of an invisible fence
With me across the yard on the other.
Some say that loss of habitat due to farmland ...

mockingbird song
To kill a mockingbird is to destroy innocence—innocence
injured or ruined through contact with evil.
sincere, she sings her mocking song,
perched on a wayward branch;
songs that to other birds belong
she copyrights carte blanche.
orchestral suites of flutes and strings
and horns and piccolos:
the music this imposter...

Sing Louder. Buy cheaper.
I bought myself a new solar panel
to try to save the world.
It said, 'Made in China' on it.
Probably produced in a coal powered
solar panel factory
But it was cheap, and convenient.
I didn't sleep well last night
The road traffic kept me awake.
The birds must have a similar problem.
Do they now sing louder to each other?

5am Blues
Seagulls rile me around 5am
And I've just begun to fall asleep
Its early or late depending on your thoughts
For me I've only begun to count sheep...
Bloody Sun's penetrating a crack in the blinds
Now my room is illuminated
So I'm pulling the duvet over my head
Not slept a wink, so now I'm frustrated!
Fuck it! I'm gonna get up now!
Thats just gone 6 o clock
Holly is niggling at me too for fuck sake
Poor dog needs out for a walk...
But me I'm still half asleep
My brain is telling my legs to go to fuck
Its not easy but...
