Capitol hot air

could inflate nineteen balloons

and blow them all to China!

It seems hot air got

them to the Capitol so

they’ve more than enough to spare.

There’s a way out and

there’s a way in and often

it’s through the same door.

Transiting doorways

is both going out and in

to the new from where you’ve been.

The aether ate it!

Not some sob-story for school;

actual technical glitch!

external and sometimes it’s

not. A glitch is just a glitch.

make their own dancing music

Cirrus clouds illuminate

Coyotes howl undaunted

We hope for honor

and truth from those we elect.

Instead we get what the heck.

Sun shining brightly.

Frosty grass snap-crackling.

a crisp January morn.

We have to take care

not to add plop to snap

crackle on our frosty walks.

The crows have their own

way of singing in the rain.

It’s not music to our ears.

mist – nature’s gentle signal

that we should rise too.

Too much fun and games

interferes with deeper thoughts,
