Area 51

wild turkeys debugging the grass

august crickets the incessant call of time after time

clockless nights the clouds surround me like family

greenland real estate I'm not buying his stories

delusional president will area 51 please take him back

stock market everything's for sale

windmill cancer let's fact check the air currents

raging storm there's nothing to do but wait it out

this chair


clearing skies under the trees the rain still falling

fields of goldenrod overtaking the dandelions

entitlement claws this chair belongs to the cat

sunrise showing its true colors

golden years just drop the g and you'll get there

flash flood watch I'm tired of repeats

trumpty dumpty maybe gone in twenty-twenty

relation ship it's too late to fix the titanic

loved ones remembered the new trail of tears from texas to ohio

weeds in high places the talk about gun control just talk

blank check grief is a debt that's never paid in full

crows crowing I shall not sleep past a certain hour

Year of the Gnats


july heat my budget down the drain with the plumbing bill

year of the gnats and other small uprisings

at the intersection of rain and cooler weather

faces I recognize in the wild clover

brush and bramble the political savvy of bloodsucking ticks

birthday wish I want a new president

progress and regress our time narrows

the bluebird's creed sing no matter how short the flight

garden club the daylilies meet by the roadside

summer territory the drones of cottonwood drifting by

solstice the floodwaters regain their strength
