An Otherwise Tranquil Setting

Going past 

A stench, 

Then seeing 

A shining red 

Beetle parked 

Next to some white 

Sheep baaing over screams 

Escaping from the hog farm 

Makes it all so stunning 

You don’t know 

Which way to go. 

Today's Lesson: Building on Experience

What 

Can one learn 

From this wall of numberless black 

Stones surrounding this cemetery? 

Patience. 

In Credible Evidence

Our politicos? 

They’re unerring. Give them something 

To believe in and they’ll plug it 

Full of holes.

Give all of yourself and you say 

You’ve not given enough, give less 

And you still want more.
