The Greatest Circus ClownHe shuffled in. He wore a frown.
This lone stranger was new in town,

that, everywhere, the world around,
he'll be the greatest circus clown....

I journeyed to the zoo

Circus DaysI ran away to the circus at the age of two
on a sad day when it was raining.
At first, I didn't know what I should do,
not having the proper training.
I started with an elephant and began to scrub.
His skin was leathery and rough,
but found I could continue with a gentler rub,
when his skin...

MODERNITY
Since time immemorial
reading or by oral tradition
2+2 EQUALS 4
modernly with evolution
I discovered in practice that;
2+2 equals 5 when I pay bills

MatchI light the match
And watch the flame flicker.
The flame is bright,
A beautiful blue, orange and yellow.
I know that if I touch this flame
I’ll be burned. Perhaps scarred.
But as I stare at this dancing flame
All I can think of is the beauty.
So I reach out with my other hand,
Slowly, tentatively, purposefully.
But then I stop,...

Roadtrip with WeaselsI thought I heard a weasel pop.
so, I made a California stop,
and crawled back into my Corona,
and hit the gas to Arizona.
They follow me wherever I go,
the weasels of New Mexico.
Like a slug in the solar plexus,
they went with me to East Texas.
I wiped my brow with a bandana
and barreled through...
