ships and planes defying I love the press and crush
of crowds of humans in a rush
to board the bus, the train, the plane --
the elbow in the gut? I hate the pain!

ships and planes RIP Robert Heinlein The arching sky is calling
spacemen back to their trade,
but we watch in the growing darkness

Star-fallen Star-fallen guilt-sodden sitting waiting for a word
knowing it will not be heard

e.e.cummings like e.e.cummings vanished banishing mundane expressions
replacing them with sweet intentions
e.e.cummings continues to regret

e.e.cummings e.e.cummings labyrinthine simplicity letters never lost but only missing
until the wind blows
what we read and grin
and remember to go back to kissing

e.e.cummings like e.e.cummings in a bar i sit and i suppose
my thoughts an alcoholic haze
and those who drink much more than i

Before I Die Zola RE: before I die Low deeds I dread, from way back when,

Inter the net volchin shrink, shrank, shrunk Every day I find my way
into a smaller corner.
The open air is cold and scary;

shrunken, less intense.
Today I feel that being big
doesn't make much sense.
