The Shedding
Today I watched a snake shed his skin.
He had become lethargic,
darker, with clouded eyes –
as one gets when they’re squeezed on all sides
by things that don’t fit.
In one giant, yawning breath
he cracked his own head open,
or so it appeared;
a violent start to this process of growth.
With his vision now cleared,
he seemed to wake up and become more frantic,
determined to rid himself
of this burden that no longer served him.
It wasn’t easy – a rebirth never is –
he writhed, he circled, he flexed, he itched,
he...

Sweeping Brooms to Hide
Artistry weaves, wayward beyond.
Arteries beat, sakes full of charm.
Heart up a sleeve, aces on palms.
Scarlet to see, fateful across.
Charlatans read, gauging your yarn.
Gardened with Eve, Satan spins cloth.
Trollops appease, aimlessly lost.
Harlots that greet, seance along.
Bargaining free, Babel has bought.
Bartered belief, mages are drawn.
Honesty heeds, changes what warns.
Robbery cheats, taking resolve.
Jargon achieves, traitor or con.
Scholarly feats, favoring fault.
Socrates scene, Plato's...

That Don't Impress Me Much
Sharon saw Larry
posing like he was Arnold
Schwarzenegger next to her.
That made Sharon smile,
roll her eyes and walk away
from that overzealous jerk.
posing like he was Arnold
Schwarzenegger next to her.
That made Sharon smile,
roll her eyes and walk away
