Step Out of the Click

See a star, a simple bird

Feel your feet

Hold the moon in your palms

Put down their toys

and make your own

No guns for war

No bombs for Christ

Mohammed or the rest

You are the children

the violins, the strings

Let go the horns, the drums

the simple dawn

Walk the halls

the alleys, the steps

the avenues 

Hold hands with friends

Walk the forest

Say owl

hummingbird and dog

Talk to rabbits and ants

grandmothers

and monkeys in the sky

Listen to their stories

and simple days

of cross word puzzles

scratch pads

leaves blowing

waiting for

waiting to

love the moment

that is you

Tomorrow beholds

sunflowers

rhubarb, eggs

maple syrup

Spring

Look at that tree 

Watch it sway

Know the apple

tastes best if

tree veins freeze

You are the cloud

the magic wand

the simple walk

on this amazing

Planet

You are the children

Hold this world

Breathe, listen

Of Course?

Louie the orange

maker found

a rind of his own

And why would

Napoleon be jealous

of George Bush?

When did the leaves

become salmon

Who is the breath

Of the moon

Where did the bear

find the leftover grapes

How did the Iraqi mouse

find the French fries

Look at the signal

in your left ear

Sniggle Fritz did

not invent underwear

What kind of ape

would suck an oil well?

On the other hand

if you were born

with a carburetor

in your mouth

you could if you wish

spit it out and walk.

A child’s smile is

worth more than

an oil well

When the red ant

falls out of the

Money market

and eats some KFC

He stood in the window

waiting to be found

and he was

He kept shadows

in his right eye 

Rabish Fleemsha bought

the cigar store Indian

with balloon payments

Schmooze the aviator likes

marshmallows with his

chicken feet

Effervescent Charley

Sold gas pumps

To Chinese chipmunk vendors

All along the way

Sounds of tortillas clapping

As a matter of fact

The burritos cheered

Ever since Momma

found the rat poison

Daddy’s shut his trap

The incarceration

of Aesop’s Lizard

is eminent

Wrap you bread

In anti vibrant bags

The long gray owl

Wore no beak

When do we expect the

sojourn of expensive

parakeets to emerge?

Why should we pay

For laminated

Crustaceans?

He made a living selling

chloral hydrate

to misplaced honeybees

And You?
