Northern Skyline

At the same height of

            Every rocky mountain

       Above all seasonal change

You are widely and cursively cut

As if to bite a whole patch of

Sky from heaven

With rows of rows of

Whale-like teeth

Trees Everywhere

Trees everywhere

On each road, in every yard

But only far, and farther away

In a virgin forest can you hear

The songs from a tree’s ringed heart

In the shiny shape of a woman

Sitting close to your chest and

Throat, with all the green spirits

Set free from the carved cleft holes

Resonating in a foreign land

Man, As He Rally Is

Is far beyond God’s imagination

Let alone understanding

If you really love Earth, you wouldn’t be

Afraid to show it to the world, let alone her

Most websites don’t even last fourteen

Months, let alone fourteen years

They never thought they’d be able to do

Any serious reading, let alone thinking

Some people can’t help inventing lies

Let alone telling them

The sun shines on you but not on me

Let alone my shadow

I always expect the world to leave me

Alone, let alone my poetry

All Politically Correct

Even if he is more challenged chemically

Temporarily, follicularly than not

The candidate is none the less right:

With restricted growth, he’s chatting amicably

Right now with a wheelchair user, and

A person with visual and hearing impairments

Yes, he does look as vertically challenged

As she is cosmetically different, and

You are certainly not differently logical

Although he is a reactionary member of

The white power elite, he is socially misaligned

In fact. What comes the least best is the very way

He knows he is ethically disoriented as uniquely

Coordinated, but he longs to be our politically correct

Representative. Yes, vote me, you damned assholes!

What, What

If you

Me? She

Us? I

You? He

Them? One

Her? We

You? It

Us? They

Him/her?
