Joy Switch
In a moment of power
he flipped on the joy switch
Out of sheer audacity
and courageous spirit
He decided
to leave it on
indefinitely…
Yeehaw…how dee!
Out here in the West
it’s easy to engage
In just a bit
of hootin’ and hollerin’
At the full moon
on a summer’s ever
(Of course, it’s that easy, too, in the East)
Even the cactus
in its humble abode
Abides in beauty
blooms in glory
Like fireworks here and glorious
gone and shriveled
It is the moment
that speaks
now…
