Five Cent Amusements


The dunce did a dance
with his cup of love.

***

The fox in the dark
makes the house dogs bark

***

Most everything is expectations
that never happen.


Weather is the first gift from nature.

***

On stage with my fears
every day I walk out the door

***

Soon my time
will be someone else’s time

***

After the storm
broken branches
on the dark pavement
look like overgrown tarantulas.
