Imagine Total Intelligence

November 28, 2009 – 12:47 pm

Billions of galaxies, and ours only one.
Each harboring untold numbers of planets, and
stars, and other mystic celestial creations.
The wonderment of it all can only be imagined.
Our tiny rock, powered by a relatively small sun.
We share it with innumerable insects, reptiles,
animals of all sorts, sea life, and fowl.
We’re the intelligent ones, or so it’s been said,
though [...]

The Dream

November 28, 2009 – 12:41 pm

His sleep story came in vivid color on a dark
winter’s night.
Ancient in years, he lay alone
in his rickety bed clutching his only pillow
which, like him, was stained and creased from
time’s cruel assault. He knew his remaining days

across the frozen floor.
Without a hint, Bach soon lashed out with fury,
his up tempo allegro sending her speeding, now
spinning, jumping, twisting, her arms and legs
seemingly connected as they moved [...]

Whirling, spinning survivors, I couldn’t control my
laughter as I looked at Ann’s ashen face, her hair a
windblown forest, her tongue lapping back and forth
trying to lick off cotton candy plastered on both
cheeks. “You’re the bravest person I know” I
laughed, “who else would try to eat cotton candy
while riding the Octopus?”
We ambled on down the midway, [...]

My Friend the Houseplant

November 21, 2009 – 11:44 am

Kate gave me a houseplant
Twas nothing more to me
She said it was a bromeliad
I laughed heartily
I wouldn’t want a name like that
So I called it Ann Marie
Kate said it would be a friend
A plant? Now how could that be?
Just something else to take care of
The thought brought me no glee
I placed it in sunlight
On the [...]
