042211K remarkable find
i barely open my car
when i notice dollar bill
between files of gravel
i bend over and pick
there are more attach
thick unreadable pieces
i started to wipe off dust
as i sit inside my car
it's all paper pictures
of wild animals and plants
could be kid's collections
i open my glove compartment

Whichever You Prefer... Happy?
smell of food triggers
hunger which i'm masking
pretty well by drinking
up to point i feel dizzy
that's a sign i have to
i don't like to get sick
maybe i'm sick already
but i don't want to know
'fear of getting bigger'
i have to be mobile i play
tennis needs that quickness
but some need that softness

New Words They Said
89 on his back caught
a football and run, run
chase by everybody
cornerback on goal line
somersaulted and landed
on his feet; what a rupture
tebow that, he has end game
four interceptions isn't pretty
nor bungabunga for fans
ubeki beki beki stan stan
oh! baby baby baby nice tan
could be one of candidates

A Challenge (is She Out Or In?)
i remember
when you’re running
towards me
like a football instant replay
every move up
to last milisecond
your lips touch my lips;
because i have to close
my eyes
to feel you
and me alone
in confines of bubbling ions
rising from my heel
and stop to my chest.
my mind confides in me
you’re awesome beast

AE01 Hold That Excitement
i remember those flopper
in waka waka south africa
now, found their way to nba
simple nudge knocks out
where's my football team
good vacation looming
they are putting up a show
trying to get some dough
who is, is not gimmicking
including your little darlings
my desert lady is smiling
so do i even it's raining

041811A should i throw pebble
i sit up throwing pebbles
watching ripples of stream
then it heals by itself, nice
to show my fading pants
there are tiny creatures
yes, swimming upstream
those tiny eyes look up too
disappearing beneath lilies
trap by vine dipping its roots
long legged bird scanning
surface with ready beak
and i'm quietly wathing

Very Quiet Besides Rain
we could have fallen asleep
falling rain on my forehead
breeze upon grass leaves
my big straw hat was gone
beach mat is our umbrella
our miniature beach cottage
sand ridges are eroding
a nice target for raindrops
we see sections of rain
on wide horizon, very nice
god wasn't writing in sky
nor moving his giant toys

When Feelings Is Right
i'm beginning to think
i have lost everything
from my house to savings
for simple reason; pride
how do you get rid of that
manipulators use it on you
first they build your pride
then do something that hurts
then you go out of control
nothing better than yourself
i ain't alone on this planet
there are who get hurt; killed

Me Passing By
i saw golf-ball in water
deep as my cup of wine
sign of impact still visible
thread of cloud; a crater
that was a cruel slice
thirty yards from fairway
i keep on walking watching
stray shots from sky, wary
geese with their curious eyes
honks and march far; in flock
sailboats are at bay waiting
for weekend or maybe porting

041411A claws at treetops
chirps begging sun to rise
beneath those leaves chicks
learning secrets of feathery life
...tree snake is watching for catch
coiling its way for a sure strike
sharp beaks are waiting; watch
keep your eyes open 'til comes up
bright rays seeking all darkness
shadows getting shorter; hurry up
it would be race again; everyday
