Fool's Gold Fortune, Part II...For two weeks Lester worked that pyrite vein,
and every day a brand new dollar came,
at the end he hug dug out two cart’s worth,
said Higgs, “Now that’s enough work in the earth.”
He smiled proud, they dragged it to the trains,
Lester still sure the old man was insane,
once loaded up, he said, “I will return

Fool's Gold Fortune, Part ILester sat in Lisa’s café that morn,
his eyes mindlessly staring out the door,
it was July of 1889,
and new work young Lester now had to find.
He’d left Jud’s ranch when he refused to pay,
did some small jobs, but not much came his way,
had heard some mines were opening up here,
but he might starve before they did,...

We love your disposition of hooray,
We bask in your uplifting sensation,
Without you words would dry up in dismay.

My one and only goal is...

now he inhabits the right side of the sofa
he inhabits the hall rug
he inhabits the oven door
he inhabits the gap between the shed and the fence
he inhabits the gap between the two front car seats
he inhabits the smell of chicken
he inhabits cold five o’clocks in the morning
he inhabits the...

Winter Treewinter tree
scribble on paper
shattered glass
aging masterpiece
blood vessels
interrupted sleep
morning bed hair
porcelain crazing
drought dry earth
think quickly
fungal strands
frozen pond uh-oh
straw on floor
slept-in sheets

tickly cough
grandad’s skin

Blinded by the LightBlinded by the light
Riding my bike in the middle of the night
Pity my plight
I ran over the foot of a runner in the night
I admitted my flaw, but then we both saw
a UFO with 2 diplomats
the runner he said "oy"
And in a ploy to annoy
A tractor beam pulled my bike and our hats.
They said "we...

The tattoos all over the body of that young ladyThe tattoos all over the body of that young lady ~
what will they look like when she's seventy or eighty?
I'm afraid the ass of that sweet young lass
smelling flowers above her reclining lover in the grass
will slowly start squatting down on his bearded face, alas....

Mouse Mischief and Feline Fatigue
A mouse, quite the agile small chap,
Played hide-and-seek, right in cat's lap.
The cat, with a yawn,
Said, "This game's gone on,
I'm napping, you rodent, perhaps?"

Stormy King vs Solar Supremacy
The lightning, with flash and a boom,
Said, "I'm king of the stormy dark room!"
But the sun, with a sigh,
Said, "You're just a quick fry,
While I'm shining, you're doomed to consume!"

SUCESSES AND ERRORS LOGIC NOT LOGIC
Every mistake we make without malice
with more ignorance than knowledge
the correct result always appears even
by trial and error and the law of chance
if it does not cause irreparable damage

TO MAKE ERROR IS A HUMAN THING BUT BE CAREFUL !!!...

Found a bone, where no bone should be found.

"My treat's in that bone, profound!"

The thunder, with rumble and roar,
Said, "I'm loudest, forevermore!"
But the sun, with a beam,

When my rays make the storm clouds outpour!"
