How do we react
when asked the impossible
on an hourly basis?
~
When we find ourselves
in such places, they say we
can fight, flee, or freeze.

We’ve traveled so far
together – I wonder where
we will wander next?
~
Whither we wander
we will wander in wonder;
a wonderful world awaits.
Some may take offense
at all things outside the norm
but does their shock make them right.
~
Culture is maintained
by the norm but advanced by
what lies beyond it.
What beckons you on
these colorful days of Fall –
anything at all?
~
Today, a feather,
flotsam from some passing goose
seized upon my attention.
What if we saw we
were a part of the natural
world and not apart from it?
~
As John Muir once said,
most people are ON the world,
fewer are IN it!
Asleep at the switch
as the Mondo Train goes by
unnoticed by these poets!
~
But we awakened
in time to try our hands at
a belated rhyme.
Which was more surprised,
the cow that jumped or the moon
that got jumped over?
~
Smart money is on
Dish and Spoon’s shocked surprise
as they slog through divorce court!
Is there anything
healing as a full night’s sleep;
or am I just dreaming still?
~
Full night’s sleep retunes
body, mind, and soul and lets
us, for a time, make music.
Why not pause and take
a look at how we fill our
days with empty things?
~
Perhaps emptiness
allows us to refill fresh.
Nature abhors a vacuum.
Three crises in less
than twenty-four hours leaves
me speechless. Can you help out?
~
Words fail all of us
sometimes, but as a fellow
poet, I’ll lend some to you.
