pots and pans clatter
a housewife doing dishes?
no...child in cupboard

Somewhat oldish togs
imply they may outlast us
by several moments.

one sock under bed
trousers and shirt all crumpled
a boy's bedroom scene

As night falls once more
I try to give umpteen hoots
regarding brightness.

daylight glistening
over the dark horizon
owl returns to tree

INVESTMENTS
Investments include
enough careful providing
to ice ice-boxes.

INVESTMENTS [II]
Investments advise
many populations not
to scurry too much.

graphic violence
blasting from our T.V. screen
press the off button

ACQUAINTANCES
Acquaintances grow
fishily chummy when hooked
on much cinema.

ACQUAINTANCES [II]
Acquaintances tend
to store up rich memories
of bygone errors.

Drunk as ten polecats,
I reach out and remember
toward some special space.

tipsy tiptoeing
thinks he is not making noise
whole household aroused

Rhythmically speaking,
we glide toward each other's harms,
uncannily hams.

one dancer tumbles
limbs fall in all directions
out of step badly

Ballets bring tangos
into rich effectiveness
like branching limbos.

dancing feet on stage
staccato rhythm perfect
loud applause rings out

PERPLEXITY
Perplexity caused
our being some dangling folk
hooked on bad glamour.

PERPLEXITY [II]
Perplexity ebbs,
once you feel less and less tied
to net disasters.

Stormiest weather
invites lengthy sweet snoozing
'neath heavy covers.

rain trickling down pane
logs burning in the fireplace
snores from the sofa

OUTLANDISHNESS
Outlandishness proves
that the entire universe
may be too spatial.

OUTLANDISHNESS [II]
Outlandishness asks
life's ultimate fresh question,
a sort of proser.

Breezes soon visit
our howling attempts as those
appear effortless.

wind sweeping hillside
bent, ragged figure stumbles
dogs barking far off

Rebels sans causes,
we listed every lost dean
halfway worth heeding.

Always an outsider
Often angry defiance
Longing to be in

sad face at window
group of children play cricket
bent legs cannot run

In the distance frost.
Meadow slopes icing sugared.
Sheep search for thawed grass.

Greedy guts sit fat
Full of undigested meat
And requesting more
