Comma Splice
(14.05.08)
In Europe
A schnauzer
But chariot!
The gremlin
Is an albatross
To Optimus Prime
Or the Thing
Flipping rain clouds
Colonized by the retina
Of the closeted Buddhist
In a costumed Catholic
Embalmed by ambiguity
And lurid attempts
To asphyxiate the cycle
Of barricading doors,
. . .
Yearbook
(10.03.10)
Faces in printed pages
Are alive with undying smiles
But too soon, too soon
All strangers are born to leave
Stories told in subtle metaphors
Are eulogies to the years of past
But the best is still ahead
All roads lead to a rightful end
Pages turn like the second hand--
Still there has never been a book
More timeless than the narrative
Of our numbered years
A schnauzer
But chariot!
The gremlin
Is an albatross
To Optimus Prime
Or the Thing
Flipping rain clouds
Colonized by the retina
Of the closeted Buddhist
In a costumed Catholic
Embalmed by ambiguity
And lurid attempts
To asphyxiate the cycle
Of barricading doors,
