WORD QUEUE
*
Like bees around a bloom
many thoughts swirl
in a writer's brain.
Is it a mystery that
they line up obediently
in a queue to be penned
one word at a time?
*
SATURN RINGS
*
The rings of Saturn
make one desire
a cage
rather than infinity.
*
Footnote:
Yevgeny Yevtushenko: If one is
used to a cage he will weep for
a cage. (written after visiting
a mink concentration camp
in the US as there are sable
ones in Russia)
*
KIDNAPPING
*
There are veterinarians
who don't release
pets brought to them
until a bill is paid
in full.
Imagine what would
happen if a human children's
hospital did that.
It is the polar opposite of
the Hippocratic Oath.
*
MONGEESE
*
Seeking refuge
under wild
mangering trees of mango
Hawaiian mongeese
hide from trappers.
