Genetically Modified Root Cellar

Rats! Ma and Pa,
You ain't been listening--

This is what's in
Store for us

And plenty darn more
Where that jolly

Ho, ho, ho's
Coming from

I done told you before--
That humungous green

Horny transmogrified hermaphrodite
Bean sprout's sprouting corn balls again,

Stalking our cellar floor!

If Poems Were Dwelling Places

--for William Michaelian

Quite simply,

We would all live well
Beyond our means.

After Heraclitus

Clear bright running water--
What is it in its movement

That makes us stand still?

In the Twinkling of an Eye

As the antediluvian
crow flies on and on

ahead, it sees

what lies all ready beyond
already behind us

in its stead.
