Hours-old coffee
sliding heavily through the air
and into the bowl, heavily,
whirligig, swirligig.

Now I've heard everything!
Cheaper to visit Valhalla
Via La Scala

Kosko Cat

1,3,2,4,1,3,2,4,1...

3....2......4.....

stop, sit, scratch, slip
under the rail and disappear.

Thoughts are not feelings
Feelings are not thoughts
Knowing the difference,
you may confuse the two.

'Everything, everyone
the hungry center of its universe, ' he thought,
'and me the universal donar.'

Are the daffodils of May
accountable for winter's hue
'Glitter, Candide, and be gay-'
-neither are you.

a yellow rose.
however charming,

was once considered vile
and alarming
by the rank and file.

All joy is short-lived
all contentment spends itself,
beauty flees,
loath to show itself
to prying eyes.

Not, Poetry, a
license for obscurity,
self-pity, or therapy
but a way to celebrate
the glory of the world.

Constellation

Starry assembly why
do some see a dolphin
motoring the sky
while others see
a murky mess-
indistinct at best.
