Patronage

PATRONAGE

Understanding
That there
Is a
Flow to
The events
That occur
In the
Mind
Follows that
There is
Intelligence

Hiding Place

HIDING PLACE

Troubadours
Finish their
Days 
Routines
With 
Slices
Of 
Oranges
In their
Eyes

Western Omlet

WESTERN OMLET

Yolk in 
A can
Of Beef Broth
Seems like 
A blessing
But really
Tastes like
Poetry 
In a poem

Full Tilt

FULL TILT

Turnposts
Differ
On the
Presence of
Evil
That may
Coat our
Squares
With impunity
But never
Be rated
Ever

Roll in the Hay

ROLL IN THE HAY

Winter days
And blue
Poetry
Does in fact
Begin to take
A toll
On only
The one
Who
Puts the book
Down

Dinners All Gone

DINNERS ALL GONE

The ceremonial
Tossing
Of the talc
Powder
Does in fact
Grow on us
But changing your
Number
From twenty three
To six makes me
Wonder if you are
Beaten

Lost Carnage

LOST CARNAGE

Coins
In a fountain
Play a
Fair game
Of
Forget me
Not
But
Swallows
In a hurricane
Are
Least remembered
By their
Calls
