An audience again
some laughter response
can be spontaneous

NovPoWriMo 11
Walking through the woods
some leaves are
heavier than others
Cooking a new recipe
make sure to check on
the roses outside
Din of leaf blowers
meticulously manicured lawns
doesn’t mean we’re not doomed

NovPoWriMo 8
Un-relatable
those whose lives are not at least
partially changed by
the symphonic swells
singing into blinding lights
coming together
to tell a story
the only way we know how
by being human
-
NovPoWriMo 3
Exhilarating
sound of live music playing
with actors singing
on stage together
giddy to think we are here
we hope it is safe

OctPoWriMo 31
The kids in costume
appeared at the door and asked
how much they could take
some were surprised when
we said all you can carry
they took two at most
knowing that others
some of whom they had not seen
are sure to follow

OctPoWriMo 30
All these lost minutes
accumulate forever
others written down
some just forgotten
still more others generate
their own momentum
how long has it been
since the seasons felt so young
you couldn’t count them
or lost track of how
they blend into each other
the world was ending
one day at a time
not all at once in a rush
because we forgot
what was worth remembering

OctPoWriMo 27
Keep thinking about
that scene in Hitchhiker’s Guide
where Ford and Arthur
arrive on new Earth
to figure out an answer
while Golgafrinchans
call for more meetings
make the leaf legal tender
causing inflation
setting fire to the forests
-
OctPoWriMo 25
Steady sound of rain
occasional thunder crash
feeling emptiness
from being outside
avoiding people in cars
good night for pizza
