alarm some


much alarm about the harm
dividing a nation can do
i'll be quick, makes me sick
wacka do, wacka do, wacka do

***

no candidate wants to surrender.
not hillary when
people wanted bernie.
not bernie with a heart attack,
not trump when people
aren't aware how government...
fumigate it all, please.

politics is clean when i run it
in my dream.

you can understand the lure...
wave money and power at a politician,
make them damn near royal;

yet we don't know it all,
what are we missing?

thanks for

thanks for stopping.
oh, the world is wide.
so much to see. rising,
falling, great is the tide.

my drop is company.
for both of us.
hold to the path.
we all lose our way.

clean water, clothes,
warm supper
made with love
and good intention.

crumbs a lot...for pleasure

i like two pieces
of toast in the afternoon.
at 18:07 i ate a sandwich m made.
will keep me looking out the window,

working or reading, wondering why
i can't put together another 
best poem. ingredients must be
here. rye toast. now, that got me

thinking. butter on top,
what it is, soulful surrender.
i misread seafood sensation.
thought before i read.

empty all pockets before
throwing pants in the wash.
man, i miss those maple trees.
grow overly large; however, do make a mess.

ok, i'm thinking about the above. it takes time to gel.

Sure red

there is color around,
fall sound cracking,
Practically out of dream,
all you wish to hear.

yeah to the cities
to the mountain streams west,

while here in the midwest
we take our fall dry
and consider it best.

may as well because
color is the coat we're wearing.
