IMPOSSIBLE ROSES, TWO POPLINGS

ease of the past

impossible roses now

tho music doesnt blink 

~

summers falling plums 

tattoo jazz phrases

atop the tool shed roof

TO PARAPHRASE REAGAN

in a world

i find
impossible

to second guess

i find
its reassuring
to be 

always 

12 months older
when 

another year 

has gone by

~

all thats sure in life
is income enhancement
negative patient outcome
& youth expansion

to paraphrase reagan

NIGHT IS STILL STILL STILL

the night is still still still
despite our degradations

dark mist dripping
from wing mirrors
& the red berry leafs

how difficult / how impossible
i have found so many things 

when so easy they should have been

RAINING ON THE MEAT TRAIL

i dreamed again
i left a meat trail
in all the clinic bins

'look' the dr said
'you need money
& i need information'

& when i wake
i feel meatless
all things impossible


~


& the rain was small
was nice & fine & soft
was chilled pin pricks

outside the chemist

11 AM

anything possible

THE FALL GUY KNEW

 

impossible 

to overstate

the benefits

of moving water & outside air

three hours by a stream

in orchard shade

~

or like the fall guy

bath tub outside

his forest shack

a cigar

hat on low

tv-big foam

soaking away the pain
