laugh a day
laugh it now
laugh as loud
as you want;
...
it is a sunny bright day
cold in the rooms
but the warmth
wraps tight round one’s body
...
PREAMBLE
it’s the dream conceived
in luminous youth
...
did you want to go
just you and me?
to the woods where the grass is soft
and the tall trees give gentle shade
...
how come all you preachers
always refer to God as HE?
It’s not a She?
you sure the whole thing was checked by a certified nurse
...
we see the earth
and the trees and the oceans
and the skies
and we construct a meaning
...
the Mother takes
the child
to the creatures
and to the beauty of the world
...
tiptoe, tiptoe
gently now;
tiptoe, tiptoe
quiet and still
...
the clock chimed to
the painting on
the opposite side of the hall:
I just struck six am,
...
I am an authorized poet
accepted
respected and legitimate and legal
site-approved
...
