Artists always do their best work
When a film festival is in town.
And it gives a geezer a chance
To clean up some files
Here are a few poems that accrued over the holidays:
5:15
My team's #1, I'm #1.
Next report at 5:25.
Jiggle Bells
Open Normal hours
Chrisma eve
Open 5 p.m.
Chrisma day.
Imperial showgirls.
Tri-county's classiest
2-story gentlman's club.
Coyotes shit where they eat
I've seen it.
Several days of unusually,
If anything--
If that--
Is what the client
Wants.
U DID U THANG
Who am I to say
Vosotros?
CAST
And introducing
Light, as "A Feather."
ZERO DEGREES
Unh-uh.
AT THE SAN CLEMENTE TRAIN STATION
Waves crash
Trains pass
Sea glass
Kids swing
Teens sing
Toot-toot!
Toot-toot!
JESUS' DRAFT AGENDA FOR THE SHORT MEETING FOLLOWING THE LAST SUPPER
High winds, heavy surf
A broke heart
Kenya
Benazir
The broke-neck giraffe in the sbzoo
If Bill and Hillary
Are the "comeback kids"
Is Obama the "Say Hey Kid?"
And speaking of San Francisco
The day before the tiger
Broke free and killed a guy,
There were reports from China
About skinned and beheaded tigers,
Siberian, just like the San Francisco cat,
"Lack of funds has been blamed
For a number of macabre incidents involving tigers
In zoos in China."
"Last week, a female Siberian tiger was found dead at the zoo, with her skin, head and legs missing. Police are looking for the killers."
Coincidence?
I doubt it.
Some weird kind of payback is more like it.
News reports within days of each other:
The city of Seattle is designating and preserving
A Denny's restaurant
As an official cultural icon.
An explosion destroyed a Denny's restaurant in
South Lake Tahoe,California.
Coincidence?
I doubt it.
People who don't like Denny's acting out.
Finally,
True or False: News of the death of Sir Edmund Hillary resulted in a 2 percent sympathy vote spike for Ms. Clinton.
