Big Stuff
Little rooster
thought he was big stuff
When he crowed awake
the world,
his feathers fluffed and jiggly
Thing is,
he really was big stuff then and when
he was pecking around in the mud
for his sustenance
Happy Camper
With a slap and a dash
and a permanent smile in his cheeks
He danced his accordian
in his arms with happy fingers
And crooned love songs
to the Universe
Ah! What a happy camper!
Altruistic Service
Nurturing myself
and being kind to me
Is the most altruistic service
I can do for the world
Contagious Illusion
Time is a contagious illusion
gone viral a blink ago at dawn
We harness the beast
with threads woven from gossamer
When you manage a ride–
good job!
It is a magician's feat…
Steel Wool Thickets
Recalcitrant angles
thickets of opinion
Well up in various spots
appearing stuck
When in actuality
in their voracity for truth
or, at the very least,
their honest view of it
The whole knotted
steel wool pad of it
scrubs the way clear
for free flow thinking
