So, we tap on weird little things called computers
to buy stuff we&#8217;ve never seen from people we&#8217;ll most
likely not meet until at least year 1, 459, 397, 682.
 
Kinda like in the days of butter artisans when Hilda,
Dot and Mary Katherine with their silver silk bustles
a-swishing, didst order from les grands catalogs.
 
Gold hair clips often. And mirrors made from [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;d like an old woman
to wrap my tired shoulders
in a shawl of sleepy seaweed.
I&#8217;d like the seaweed to wrap
all my Christmas presents this year
in yellow pansies and cedar shingles.
I&#8217;d like my shingles to hold fast
through days and nights of snow
and dusty misplaced bedroom slippers.
I&#8217;d like my bedroom slippers to be
made from Doc Marten leather that
has danced in Australia at least [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s all tea and crumpets
until inspectors in fedoras
and restless 3-piece suits
 
stand pointing at your
railway car and leaning
on your tiny caboose.
 
Other snoopers,
as you possibly know
from your own tangos
with clipboarded eyes,
 
are the popcorn police,
the chain-link fence patrol
and the nudity overseers.
 
There are even
government spies
ever on the watch  
that farmers&#8217; spring
grass fires never burn
wider than a 2-square
meter patch per year,
 
farmers whose
great-great-great-
great-great-great-
grandfathers cleared
said land almost two
hundred years ago,
 
farmers who, [...]]]></description>

Write a poem on a chocolate morning
when the parakeets are trading recipes
and the cat&#8217;s already into the beer.
Write a poem at noon when the bacon
leaps from the fridge and fries itself into
a frenzy of hip-shaking mardigras magic.
Write a poem in the mashed potatoes
stuffed into the hollows of old oaks and
clumped onto the thighs of the moon.
Sleep ten days. Wake and write a [...]]]></description>

A purring cat who&#8217;s overtaken
the most comfy part of your chair
reminds you you&#8217;re loved completely.
 
A parakeet-curious cat reminds you
to be extra vigilant while those birdies
hang out and write with you during the day.
 
A dancing cat reminds you that
pansies are always blooming somewhere
and heaven ever giving birth to stars within you.
 

 
 
It&#8217;s Tuesday! Whooohoooo.
The dVerse Poets are alive and rockin&#8217;!
And worry not &#8212; no [...]]]></description>
