Ginny was not so sure she liked Angie's courtship calculations.

Whoa!
If I can't trust Atoms
because they make up everything,
does that mean I might
not really be here?



(Thank you to Chaz Benedict.)

The Secret Dreams of a Dainty Dog Walker



She was one who loved to chase after
a good fantasy-making disaster,
be it girls without curls,
teeth without jaws,
or artistic auto wrecks
in the local corn field.
All I ever need, she mused,
is my devoted Muffin
and a good mud bath.

There's that treasure again,
taunting me into a sweat,
knowing I'll never have a taste
for dirt and digging.

All of a sudden she realized she had come home to seven women
in synchronous menses and she hadn't yet asked for help with
deciding the dinner menu.



(Thank you to Sylvia T. Anderson.)

During the Woo Woo Wars
there roared three wise women,
all of whom managed to preach love
with fascinating verisimilitude.

A Humble Horticulturist Knows His Succulents



Al watched in amazement as the little man embraced
the needle-tipped thorns thrown by the angry, offensive barrel cactus,
joyfully turning the javelins into points of optimistic conjecture
revolved around spearing sausages, olives and watermelon
in preparation for a tasty evening meal.

Well, hang it all, Hank.
Looks like we've happened upon
a positive point of view
that has lost its perspective.

Hmmmm.
Either that, or we've lost our own.

An Abstract Afternoon Uplift



Standing here with you,
Looking from this mighty fine perspective,
It's quite a hoot!


Saturday, May 17, 2014



Oh, phhhooof, little one,
Let me be!
I'z just a cranky ol' steam ship
Blowin' off steam,
Floatin' this ground boat,
Headin' down stream.

Fried Friend and a Freight Train



Yo! Jay!
Wake up!
My moral compass
has me blasting through
and I think you're
lying on my
trajectory.

(snort)
Huh? whaa?
(sniffle)

Toot!!
Toot!!

...mfph...

Here, coffee's served in the caboose.

Squishy wishy little fishy
watching for a clean tomorrow.

Blind Bess on Her Morning Rounds



Hup, hup, hup, hup!
Steering up, up, up, up!
I is one juicy fruitcake
scooting through shadows
and chasing off battles,
tapping so sunnily
bright songs in the light.


Saturday, May 10, 2014



No, Lars, I don't plan on arguing
inside your personal space.
I'll just stand nearby,
outside the ring,
and spectate.


Friday, May 9, 2014



But I like it in this cubicle, Jules.
I can hear myself snicker as life rushes by.

Aaaaa!
Look at thaaaaaat!
(In charge of the world
from a place that's well swirled.)

Ah. Yes.
I see and golly gee.
(A pleasantly agreeable adopt
with a silent inner full stopped.)

Breakfast Briefing



What's that falling from the sky, Mama?

It's called Manna from Heaven.
We don't ask why it falls
or what it could mean.
We don't question it.
We just eat it.

Sounds a little chicken to me.

(Woof!)

Eat up, dear.

Ice Cube in a Family Fix



Kids, kids!
Nix the argument!
We've lost little Lotty
in an emotional melt down.

When my hormones meet springtime energy
it's just a bunch of cheer-cheer-cheerpin' madness!

Fighting off those
Tears and fears,
That's what friends are for.
