we had crashed on an alien world,
our ship was beyond all repair,
and though we had prayed for our rescue,
we knew we weren’t going anywhere.
*
years after we’d made this our home,
a scouting ship spotted our lair,
and though we had prayed for our rescue,
we knew we weren’t going anywhere.

when my cat took me out for a walk,
i thought we might have a nice talk,
but she ran off ahead,
hearing nothing i said–
she ignored me and fled down the block!

i am the cosmos;
like every piece of it,
i contain the whole–
my mind and the cosmos are
holographic in nature

the diet of the bald eagle
shows that you’re not what you eat,
for he stands so composed–even regal–
while gobbling down decomposed meat.

now, i’m no monk
and yet i find

of a kind;
yes, every day
i am resigned
to walk for peace–
peace of mind.

if you are a nature lover,
remember, as a human,
you are cutting-edge

so mysterious,
you border on

And wit dis here wind, it is
Mighty refreshing!

tonight, the heavens shine
like sparkling grape wine
pouring down upon the earth
from vineyards divine

A baby woodpecker named Brie
Would peck at the pines futilely–
It was hopeless until
She procured a small drill
From the carpenter ants in the tree.

First send out ICE with urgency
For everyone’s “protection”,
And that will spur insurgency–
I’ll call it insurrection.
Then I’ll declare emergency
And cancel the election.
