Lunch!
As I stood on top of the city And looked way down to the street I saw Jill riding her bicycle— Gold dot to me so sweet. She stopped, raised black to her eyes; I looked through my binoculars, So … Continue reading

Oh, Mockingbird
Oh, Mockingbird, where are you now? I need your varied song. Red Robin keeps repeating—how! His liquid notes too long! He’s more like a machine, oh yes! The same thing o’er and o’er! While your top tunes are happiness None … Continue reading

Raggles (with a debt to O. Henry)
Friend Raggles was a poet, But sure he did not know it; He lived every line he never wrote. No lyric passed his tongue, No verses there were sung, But everything he did was one great quote. He loved the … Continue reading
Socialism Succeeds!
I get tired of hearing how socialism fails. People smart enough to know better keep bringing in the standards of wealth, health, peace and happiness and go on to show that socialism fails to achieve these ends. On the contrary, … Continue reading

No Change
I deny that climate ever changes; From cold to hot it ever does hold true. Its up and down it never re-arranges; Its calm and fierce, its gray skies and its blue. Most constant are the warming, cooling breezes. More … Continue reading

I Deny!
I deny, I deny, I deny, I deny the right of anyone to make me say what I don’t want to say, or to keep me from saying what I want to say. I say that those who would use … Continue reading

Hmmm
The myiasis in the Republican dump comes from that bloated ass called dumb-dealer Trump. Myrmecology is the study of Hillary and other Clintons. Sanders, obviously, is a myrmecophile, or, perhaps, or also, a myrobalan. Climate-changers and environmentalists are mystagogues. Mystery—“1a: … Continue reading

Hundreds of poppies in the garden plot Await the sun’s bright hands. He’ll open them, but one will not; Already spread, she stands. She looked all night on stars above, While all her sisters slept; They only sought lost dreams … Continue reading

Together
Sharp and clear the buildings here Cut through the blue, blue sky. Hard, exact, each man-made fact Stands strong and proud and high. Beauty beams in sunlight streams On angles, ledges, glass— Giant gem in quiet hymn Mere diamonds can’t … Continue reading

Oh, the juice of a poem that’s a joy to the tongue, And is meat to the mouth of the mind, Oh, the masterous rapture of passion upsprung In the breathing of meanings that bind;— What is more to adore … Continue reading
