HUMANS ARE WONDERFUL?
What was that word that teased my mind?
Retreated.
Why does the obit praise?
We believe.
In life, the best press wins.
If so many bosses are beasts,
It proves the species rots.
If we are what we are,
That ain't good.Except me
And you.

TIME ABYSS
Some spaces places
cannot be duplicated.
They come with their
own world.
Like a child's paper
doll places, not here.
Replete with all that's
Needed.
A child sitting on a
subway car sees a
warn inviting place
between the cars.
Arcane and cane.
A movie set, a safe
place.
Halftime dream and
real.

ART FROM NATURE
If polka dots came from bowling balls from the sea,
from the stars, from the falling Spring blossoms,
If horizontal stripes came from the strata peeking from
the sea's tease, poking up into peaks.
If vertical stripes were patterns before they inspired fences,
did flowers order humankind to look at spirals.
Did they say "we were here before you.
Now, catch up, and don't say you invented us.
We invented you."
