Why bother to recognize beauty?
It's so easy to call my neighbor a jerk.

I Lost an Opal Ring: and Found It and Lost It Again

I have not lost
many things
that matter, over the years.
Some rings.
Mostly I accumulate.
I have a lot
more things
now and places
for things to be
misplaced.

Observation

Kid on horseback,
ambling down the road,
texting.

Into The Gloaming
We'll be the first massive generation of dotards.
If we had been wise we would have prepared,
propagandized, and subtly made ourselves tomorrow's
ideal. But we wanted what we wanted, with no waiting
and with fries. Whatever the word: it isn't wise.

Observation Points

I have seventeen
side effects of a commercial
drug I'm not taking.

***
But today the high
condensation trails are bright,
the sky: well defined.

***
And Redwing's calling
like a shiny chrome whistle
with a magic pea.
