A Round Set
*
I feel lost and lonely.
I feel mostly horny.
I feel my mind, no longer mine.
I do not know the time.
I do not know how to speak
Except in rhyme.
I think will go wander
My city streets.
“What ~
Being lame on one level isn’t enough?
~ High Con
Try ballet!
Compression torque, upward motion ~
Defy gravity!
[Hey!]
~ waves ~
“I agree! Why suck at just one sport,
When you can do tri’s and suck at three?â€
Because, Dear Rude Fabby,
Time, if limited, O know ~
Here, let me grab you, you’re flying!
A partnered catch, a spinning pirouette,
A calculated catch, a well-woven net
Without which no aerialist should display
Her talent, her ability to defy earth’s gravity.
So gravitas, so veritas, so artful dodger
Perriot, Thee, I do know. O.
“I agree! Why suck at just one sport,
When you can do tri’s and suck at three?â€
Try ballet!
Compression torque,
Upward motion ~
Spinning round,
Elevated ground ~ Defy
Gravity! I agree ~ But O, don’t you know?
That’s just a three-ring circus,
A Festival at the Faire, a sparkling cast
O fairies gone awry. O dear, I’ve something
In my eye. Just tear’s deserted prism
Refracting light, a spectrum broken down
For me, a batch of silly clowns.
A book satchel slung over my shoulder,
A party atmosphere, a teaspoon of honey
Makes the medicine go down,
Relieves
My frown!
But the ocean views
Returned ~
Patterned wallpaper, paintings
Sung, songs hung,
Suspended
In mid-air ~
Museums ~ The Painted One ~ stuffed our accessories
Of the crime, a deliberate
Subversion, your artful
Evasion ~ Another version of narrative,
Your sublimation!
But O!
What a Grande Occasion
~ This ferry, and those fairies, too,
Deliver all wee-small passengers, canines, kids,
And alligators, too ~
Deeper into the heart
Of the conversation, a Divine Conversion
A place reserved…
A table set.

....Carnival,
Or Canard Cruise?
See Fish Run!
Yes, that’s what I thought ~
Just now, walking past,
Through my lobby,
My Goldfish pond ~
I stopped, looked,
Considered, for the second time,
Geeez.
Those fish look strange!
Fins large enough
To walk on solid ground.
Hm, yes, I see.
Mum's original fish tale
Retold: Amphibians!

Enduring grace or ephemera?
I fear the fare,
When kooku cooks cook.
I fear the faire;
I fear..
“Circe’ this craft, the trim-coifed goddess.â€
~ Ezra Pound
Please explain.
Circe may be at the Pound,
[Just as Mr. Ezra, too, got tossed behind bars]
And there are realms of Great Poems
Left still for me to read, barely have I
In this life scratched the surface,
For surely, such riches enfolded in books
Far more than one working life may know!
Time, and endless scroll, all time to unfurl.
Would that require of me,
As well to live my lived life ~
And read them all, and be a poet, too!
For I believe lived life at least half the value,
And literature, that Golden Cup, brimful
Offers, cups, that plentiful well from which we drink,
From where we learn, at least
Half our knowing, about how to think ~
When our soul thirsts, when lived life chokes life
From each of us, starves both mind and body
As it a will to do. But here, below, Ms.
Maya Angelou sums Suma cum laude, yes,
She says it all for me. No illusion, Maya
Does she put forth ~ surely she knows all too
Well that suffering is real, as everyday, proof
I see, confusion written on the faces
Who greet me on my Manhattan streets.
....Ah yes, suffering, real, but hope
May bring relief. Suffering, yes, a convincing
Illusion, Maya embodied in contusion
....but alas, that bruise, that bleeding body ~
I stand by the experience that it's no illusion;
As everyday, I see the proof on the faces
Who bear its confusion. Computer game,
Or value system? Solid earth or hazy myst?
Enduring grace or ephemera?
I fear the fare,
When kooku cooks cook.
I fear the faire;
I fear...Ms.
Angelou soothes my fear.
*
A Conceit
Give me your hand
Make room for me
to lead and follow
you
beyond this rage of poetry.
Let others have
the privacy of
touching words
and love of loss
of love.
For me
Give me your hand.
~ Maya Angelou

Overheard, if standing close. But none
Stands near. His muscles stiffen. He folds
His tail close to his body to warm himself, unsure,
His resolve,
Unclear, unknowing
If venturing deeper into
This sleeping
Town
Will take him closer to his goal,
His arrival.
He knows
Not,
Before a sudden impulse
Prompts him to turn, tells him to
Glance briefly behind, past his left shoulder. He seals,
Encloses, exposes the image behind him,
The place from
Which he ventures. Satisfied,
For now,
His memory,
His picture,
The train station, he fixes his mind,
For fear, his knowing,
He may,
Circle back,
If the road ahead ~ The long,
Absolutely
Deserted perspective
~ Leads him back
Again
And again
Retracing his steps. He stops, his hopes
Hold the train station from which he departs,
Satisfied, in his mind,
Or as much as he allows
Himself
To feel,
His submission for his journey, has
He learned. Leon resolves
The memory,
Revolves his view away from the railway, turns
Now to regard the future, stares
Ahead. Be bold, Leon tells himself.
Leon steels his determination, eyes
The long perspective
Before him, inhales deeply,
Sighs sleepily,
Steps forward...

PS. Tell Michael’s Dad, Mr.
Atkinson, that Flyer,
Hello! Great book! Great Mr.
Rick Bragg quote there, too. Great
Grief commentary.
[Good grief! Here’s
Charlie Brown snooping around
Town!]
Or
Just see: Me, ca. September, 17, 2004 ~
I was looking around some pics of my hometown,
Which has been savaged by hurricane Ivan,
And I came across an excerpt from a biography
By the father of someone I knew.
This opening passage, from Mr.
Atkinson’s book,
Touched me.
“Rick [Bragg] was in New Orleans doing a feature story
for the New York Times and was interviewing
an elderly black lady in the ghettos
who had just lost her grandson
due to a senseless shooting. He described how
the little boy's ‘Dr. Seuss’ books just dropped
to the ground and the grandson died
looking up at his grandmother with a shocked expression,
unable to speak a word.
When the interview was over, the grandmother thanked
Mr. Bragg for taking the time to write
about her grandson.
Rick said that his normal reply to such a response
from someone consumed with grief
is simply to say Thank You and leave.
But in this instance he replied,
‘Why in the world do you want to thank me?
All I have done is to scribble a few notes.
Your grandson is gone forever
and you are the one who will live with his loss
for the rest of your life.’
The grandmother replied
by showing him a few carefully folded clippings
from New Orleans newspapers.
The little pieces of paper, coldly and briefly,
reported the story of her grandson’s tragic death.
Then the grandmother said to Rick Bragg.
‘You sees, sir, if it ain’t writ down,
peoples forgets.’â€
~ Tex Atkinson
“Forerunner 201?’
“Yes. Comments and lots of them.
Ask Dr. Google.
Cheersâ€
~ DonVon
Who’s that?
“Then the grandmother said to Rick Bragg.

Loves Jack Russells, too.

Perchance,
Too, to stumble upon
~ Mourning Would ~
So long I have, I do, I did, still am, too,
A wished-for awakening...
Or hast Thou forsaken me?
I think NOT!
“Natural history is an extraordinary subject.
The study of nature fascinated Aristotle no less
than it did Charles Darwin centuries later.
It still fascinates us today. Few subjects so clearly
and simultaneously appeal to both the emotions
and the intellect. A quiet sojourn in a spring woodland
is one of the most relaxing of experiences. The sight
of various life-forms re-emerging from dormancy
to activity provides a splendid sense of continuity. Emotions
are recharged as Skunk Cabbage pokes up, Red Maples
blossom, and the Spring Peeper chorus breaks what had
been winter's silence. Nature is art unbridled
by human bias. But, it is far more...â€

“How do we define reality?
Can there be separate realities,
Or is the only reality the one
That we can physically sense
For ourselves?â€

“How do we define reality? Can there be
Separate realities, or is the only reality

~ Double-A
I once, briefly, crossed to the mirror’s other side.
And several times, alas, I’ve
Journeyed through Ether,
AKA, either/or.
Just a sliding ramp upward,
Or sometimes, yes.
A leap ~
