Friday, November 18, 2011 at 12:00PM Oh! gentle mocking bird,
do not deride me;
do not pass by me,
gentle mocking bird.
Sing till you have your fill;
sing till the air is full;
sing till the morning laughs;
sing till the night rolls past.
Sing, gentle mocking bird;
do not forget your voice;
do not abandon it;
sing, gentle mocking bird.
Friday, November 11, 2011 at 12:00PM SCRIP. SCRAP.
Find the cheese. Find the cheese!
Tell me please--where's the cheese?
SCRIP. SCRAP.
Where's the hole? Where's the hole!
It can't be full--where's the hole!
SCRIP. SCRAP.
To the end. To the end!
It can't be far--where's the end?
Friday, May 20, 2011 at 11:00AM the firefly's light,
snuffed out by a hungry frog.
one last lamp tonight
ducks scream as they flee,
startled by a red balloon
and its puzzled boy
yesterday's paper
clings to my feet, lonely now
on this winter's day
Friday, May 13, 2011 at 11:00AM No one mourns the week's end.
All celebrate it instead. All dance on its grave.
No flowers adorn the tombstone. No comfort for its family or its friends.
But all scream it from the roof tops: "The Week's dead! The Week's dead!"
Still they all know within a few days time a new week comes again.
Friday, May 6, 2011 at 11:00AM howling white blinds him
wind hammers on his chest
ice chews on his boots
snow claws at his coat and trousers
but the Mountain, the Mountain ignores him
