Ice
Was nice
Next stony
But so heavy

Bronze age
A forward visage
And parlance
Matched dance


Age of Iron
Long gone
Word
Vaguely heard

The ages
First pages
A grunt
So it's blunt

Now a sigh
Maybe goodbye
A purr
Only for her

Next
A pretext
Meaning point
Words anoint

An alphabet
No regret
Literacy
Also idiocy

Fill books
And cooks
Up printing
Publishing

The computer
Digital tooter (tutor)
Made language
A package

AI
With a sigh
Delivered
Reality slivered

So what follows
The bellows
Of the tongue
Meaning strung

A leap
Or creep
To next
Way to text











Leave My Saint Alone




this incarnation
of bird diversification
gives me purpose
to suppose
that the divine
purrmits me to dine
give him space
or i'll scratch your face

so bipeds
spare the threads
you employ
to make me toy
for my soul
is as old as coal
go stumble
with reason fumble

nature controls you
who
purport an understanding
while we fling
your existence
with felicitous resistance
for we truly live
take, accept and give





Two Honorifics to the Fruit Fly

The fruit flies
Hovering in minute skies
Breadfruit eyes
Grapefruit thighs
Gingerroot plies
In brut disguise
To en route chastise
As a galoot terrorize
With a salute disguise
An absolute surprise

There once was this thirsty old fruit fly
Buzzing around seeking junked bottles of wine
It was in his DNA
Geneticists would say
But Buzzy knew he should join AA
