wait for the next bat

to the face

crushing through

stirrin the stew

being a piece

does not an individual

so I can relax

this gel cupcake

without threat

learning not to grab

because you miss

everything else

from the heights

after the valley

A Lucky Night

bcpa    2.28.2011

life before cars

prokudin-gorsky 1915

climbing

          upright in trees

      with her hands and feet

                 binoculae facing

a far wide horizon

rains dry         fruits wither

    she descends

                 

         to stand

                      animal and  wolf

talking to myself for decades

maybe im talking to my nephew

who was born today

and will not know me now

eight and a half pounds

nicholson haircut

elfin chin

pissed off nose

whose heart got up

to leave

before scheduled

to catch up

to two blondes

attention sweets and fun

richer than ever

better lookin

than a boy should be

will they push him farther away

smoke the mirrors

or slip a chance

to figure it out

through denial

so back to chrysolas

braving tomorrow

with a suggestion

life can be a boat

steer where you can

enjoy the view

desperately

remember

were all here

as we learn more

perhaps human

is overbroad

hu for soul

man for animal

maybe homo

dewey coded with options

sapiens sapiens

or camel leather

he curled the wheel to the right

and the roadster shuddered most softly

as its bumper hit the rail

the tail lifted peacefully

behind and fell forward

89 miles an hour

grace in a second

vision and arms out

over the teal below

common empiricist

that instant when jack heard a tickle a snap to his right

before the sweet cherry red mind
split from his ears for TV and the future

the america dream didn't perish then

until the term. of lee
