Ditty

Just a short one

Not much to say

Gifts weigh a ton

Snow’s going to stay

Gotta go gotta run

Hop into the sleigh

What fun huh hun

Fishing

No one asks

Everyone just thinks

How can they

All be certain

Or is it

That few care

Or care just

Enough to give

In order to

Get what’s wanted

Dangling a worm

In front of

The unsuspecting fish

SexIn22

It seems like no

One wishes to know

They would rather feel

Like little blind mice

Bumping into other things

Hoping to find a

Bit of cheese maybe

A morsel or crumb

Anything which might carry

Them from one to

The next to the

Next to the next

Over and over again

Until one clamps shut

Ending this desperate parade

PlantNotLay

Leave the past behind

March forward like Romans

But rather than laying

Waste to the countryside

Instead plant the seedlings

Of love hope wisdom

For those three things

Will gain a foothold

And bear bountiful harvest

Long after you’ve gone

MenHa

So many many men

Who look like men

Have egos as delicate

As a freshly iced

Pond in late November

One awkward step and

It disintegrates as quickly

As a sugar cube

Dropped into hot tea

And you’re left blinking

And wondering why what

Part of not interested

Is so damn damaging

As you watch them

Run under the hem

Of their mama’s skirt
