Cannibis

The counter–culture holiday is the
Sum of the first 20 positive integers
[ All hail the High School 5 ] .

I haven’t taken drugs—yet;
However, I’m keeping my
Options open .   Once
My ex called me an asshole
For my conviction:
Drugs Should Be Legal .
She said, ‘ everyone would partake, ’
I countered, “ Would you ? ”

Appropriately, the penetrate oil
That un-rusted the gate of my fringe idea
Is the “ gateway drug ” itself .
Half of America think Cannabis
Should be legalized,
And 11 states and the District of Columbia
Have made it so .
Canada, Georgia, and South Africa
Have followed Uraguay .

CELIBRATE dope for dopamine—
Squares are rectangular too .

Phosphorus Unlocked

Phosphorus

Lightning unleashes
Phosphorus bringing
Life into the light :

Deoxy backbones
From schreibersite
In fulgurites and
Meteorites
And a quintillion
Lightning strikes,

Sparking precursors
Of replication under
Rolling skies .

What’s the Matter ?

cern

In a magnetic field
Vacuum shield conduit
Arcing toward a spark ;

Firing bullets at bullets
Coursing through icy wiring :
Hulk smash !   Testing
The standard model cache,

Divorcing forces and
Parting particles, blowing
Them apart spirographic,
Parsing how particulates
Particularly fit,

Sifting through firework bits :
The matter of matter
Matters .

Black-Browed Babbler

babbler

Black-browed babbler
Appears
After being missing
170 years .
Where was it hiding
All this time,
This little remnant
Of dinosaurs ?

From Asian forests,
Surely it soared
From hidden canopies
When it was bored
Of this momentous
Game of hide ’n seek,
Seeking to be “ it ”
For a change .

One wishes that
The Tasmanian tiger
Would return too,
Like okapi did before .
Welcome back songbird :
Babble evermore .

The Fence

Cow Fence_Theo Leconte
BoxxVersion | Theo Leconte .
Chlorophyll pasture
Speckled with cow ;
The early morning dew
Part of me now—

The fence between us thin,
But real .

And then
The moisture and moment
Fade into air .

The cattle turn away,
Leaving me there .

Oatmeal

Oat

Put gummy works in the gutty works,
Viscous porridge made of grain for horses ;
Dehusked for musculature steel–cut,
Sticking to the ribs rolling in gallop :
A meal filled with milled meal .  Oatmeal .

Emily [the Brontë Stones poems]

Kate
q2l

She stands outside
A book in her hands
“ Her name is Cathy, ” she says
“ I have carried her so far, so far
Along the unmarked road from our graves
I cannot reach this window
Open it, I pray . ”
But his window is a door to a lonely world
That longs to play .
Ah Emily .  Come in, come in and stay .
