Photos mom wouldn’t approve
That would fail a test
Of community standards
Closing down a bookstore
Photos the government defends hiding
Of America in action
Telling a story
Photos the Pentagon fear
Will inflame
Embarrass
Incite

The Department of Defense

Rx
Poetry wants to come out at a party in flashing attire. Poetry wants to shout with lungs of an opera singer from a mountaintop. It wants to say things unimaginable- cause you to think, to laugh, and to cry. Mostly it wants you to feel because the world has become so numb.
You don’t have to understand all of it- just let it be what it is. Poetry is the antidote.

These Last Days
Air like iceberg lettuce
Morning sun shyly holds back
Lower in the sky
Windshields are Post-it notes
For tiny fingers
Listen-
You can hear ballparks deflating
And birds packing for long trips

Think about this....
