I Saw the Crows of Summer Charge the Powder Blue Sky
I saw the crows of Summer charge the powder blue sky
Roadwork on the freeway could not stop their mission
Technology w/ all its posture could not halt their flight
Like midnight ink splattered on sunny white sheets
Their ragtag sympathin caught my breath
An array of intent abstract fortitude
Black feathered, eyeballing hell, indignant
They came
Dancing in the air impossible
To shatter Darwin’s dream.
I Struggle to Greet the New Day
I struggle to greet the new day
not because I am lazy
But because I realized the world is crazy
A talent show swamped w/ sailors
This town has grown twice as hot as Pittsburg
Every Steady Eddie wants our real estate
I don’t recognize anyone round here dear
Feels like Michigan, California and New York broke in
Lake Superior’s minus degree wind chilled overachievers
A Bumper to bumper traffic jam dressed up & jelly tight
Gridlockedparadoxtalkingcellphoneprivatizedgoogleperformers
Slamming computer money down while plebeians sleep in laundry squats
Location, location, police station.

The gym teacher who slammed my small skinny 5th grade body-
Against the wall, made sure
I was dull and ready-
He would be king today
Two realities tango here
a rich moron, a subdued nation
we spent our entire life
Trying to avoid this ilk
A new reality moves in
What was your name again?
Freedom by proxy my friend
No one should struggle to greet the new day
No one should break dance on a pile of pennies.
