HELLO DREAMS; BYE-BYE SUN & KISS ME IN THE MORNING

What do I know of family vowels? I kiss the Sun good-morning and kiss the Moon goodnight Then I tuck myself into my dreams reading my story book of The Ongoing while the Sun is just arising in another part of the world I slumber meeting my other twins to slurp on Popsicles while they point me to the...

THE NEW PUNCH & JUDY SHOW (A PLAY IN 3 ACTS?)

Who says my little toes don't like thin air popping out of mud like a hippo's ears? So, here we have tweedle-dee and tweedle-dum playing the parts today (OH, just put a sock on one of them and see what happens!) So Punch rushes out trying to find a Sock Doctor who turns out to be an undercover... Sign in to see full entry.

OTHER LANDS

Economics was born with Adam and Eve, and The 2-sided Sword I watch the waves swell But everyone has another home We think we are peaches If not, that, an orange and If not that, the color of fruit Economics was born with the 2-sided sword Adam and Eve stand back to back Curling themselves into...

ODE TO LIMBO

Limbo is some place I go when I have no place to be Call it a twilight, a meridian of thought, it's the hiatus where nothing meets It's the cave of flickering shadows climbing upon the walls Even dreams dare not enter because they know they'll just get lost So, don't believe what you might have...

IN THE AUTUMN OF METAPHOR

Maybe I wish to sing of love like Neruda with gnarled roots twisitng down into this earth, my soil And to grasp this hand that would lead me back to my unaccomplished deeds Maybe, I wish I knew how to sing a song without metaphor and be carried like a seed to the threshold of my being To sing this...

DID I LEAVE MY SHOES IN BRIDGEPORT?

spunk, waddle, and contortions does Rubber Maid still make glue?

When the Theater Of The Mind exploded the pen ran out of ink Bebop Betty was getting her act together before she put it on the road, while Lionel Hampton was in the saxaphone sction playing "Stardust" with his toes When the Theater OF The Mind exploded and the pen ran out of ink Anias Nin was...
