"while in heaven right next door somebody has plugged
a radio into a long extension cord and music from the local radio station has scared
the raccoons away and bushels of corn are picked by a woman who loves the feel
of the perfect ears in her hands because this is her heaven you see not the heaven
of raccoons"

I'm sharing with hungry wasps

Crickets

when I post poetry
to corporate social media.
So loud!

You're a loon
to write a Collom 'Lune.'
I'm not joking!

It's way better to
write Kelly's...
I just don't know why.

I think, especially with everything that is going on in the world today, we can all do with this wonderful song by Nick Lowe.

"Smiling at strangers reminds me of my dog
(Better let them know you're friendly)
The way people dress reminds me too
Pissing on their favorite tree"
