A soldier
and a beautiful damsel
were wed
Exactly

I was born
In my heart,
this fading image
is anything but

Upon Reading The Non-Fiction Of Umberto Eco + Tom Wolfe
________________________________________________________________________________________________
When these two authors write about
culture and its components,
few—if any—writers
do it better
Their writing
conjures an image of
atop the mountain,
sitting cross-legged
with his thumb
up in the air
His readers are gathered below,
attuned to every word he says
When he's finished,
a man dressed as a jackal
takes the stage.
Verbal calisthenics
are his act:
syntactical somersaults
with saber-toothed
syllables.
The jackal is
The name of the mountain

Contemplation On A Mediocre Image

Coltrane studious
Dylan dubious
Buddy Holly
has neck issues
Harrison has
it made
in the shade
Springfield sprung

Un-recognizable
James Taylor
opposite
Tim Buckley
who deserves
recognition
Famous Doors' cover
opposes Butterfield
Blues whose
EAST-WEST is
40 years ahead
of its time
I can hear
Cher telling us
where the Beat goes
with her
pocket pet
squeak toy

Today Is GROUNDHOG DAY
________________________________________________________________________________________________
Today, we celebrate
of Groundhog Day.
Today is
February 2, 2022
In shorthand,
we write this date as
2-2-22
TWO
is the only digit needed
to express today's date
—in shorthand—
Surely, I repeat myself
on this repunit day
—shorthand for repeating unit—
On this Groundhog Day,
will PUXSUTAWNEY PHIL
of Pennsylvania
repeat himself
when he makes
his weather prediction?
Or will his prediction
be contradicted
by
an upstart groundhog
from Staten Island?
Curious minds want to know
but if they are lucky,
they will completely
forget this page by
tomorrow
