What is that stirring
in the bushes?
rustle, rustle
leaves are shaking
should we worry
should we fret
then we see those dainty feet
why, it is Javelina
the ballerina

Jump
Button, button who’s got the button
Clare is a funny dit ‘cause she eats mutton
Billy has a big fat zit, Larry knows nutt’n
Nancy always knows her stuff and she is strutt’n
Jump now, jump now if you know sumeth’n
Franklyn, Franklyn doesn’t know anyth’n
A hop and a skip and a big fat glutton
Nonsense, nonsense Sally can’t jump a fence
Button, button who’s got the button

A million
This one no not that one
this one over here.
The small one ivory
stacked 2 on 2
aligned with the embossed one.
Behind the ugly one
that no one wants.
Do you see it?
No needles pierce it yet
to sew it to your sleeve.
You can keep it in yourpocket and touch it
whenever you choose.

Litttle Buttons
On the walls of his heart were paintings
like on some ancient French cave
not some hunter, bow in hand,
chasing an extinct antelope but
tall trees with tiny birds flitting in and out
strewn about at the base of the trees
were their fragrant seeds
that looked like little buttons
and if you tugged at these buttons
his heart would come undone
Tasmanian Blue Gum tree (Eucalyptus Globulus)
Globulus: means “little button” in Latin

Human Nature
The tear
globulus
as it winds its way down
to the lips
tastes of regret
On the tongue
it grows
bitter
In the esophagus
it burns
By the time
it reaches the
stomach
it has been neutralized

Dart to the Heart
If she could only stop the bow string mid arc
reach out with super human speed,
retrieve the shining narrow, the word.
too late, the bird slowly tumbles out of the sky
instead she only could offer a sudden intake of breath
she tucked two bloody feathers in her hair
and with an uncertain smile
sank to the earth beside the still bird.

Dispatches
Aureola embellishes outwards from the areola
the mandorla-mandala,
the cloud field, the screen on which our dreams
creep in and fade stage right
just then the halo about the sun sends
dispatches to the embassy of our heart

Super Man and Baby Jesus
She asks in a wee tiny voice
barely getting out the words.
Praying on bended knees she lightly
taps her rosary to her forehead. Having
Long Ago
forgotten who was saint and who was sinner
she prayed to all deities.
Focusing on Baby Jesus she sets up
a link for internal communication and
uses her own holy mandorla shaped aureola
as antenna.
Set
Link
Connect
Now she is free to worry about other
Super Heroes.

unexpected things
I was once at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. They have a small section devoted to Doc Ricketts a marine biologist from the 1930's, a friend of John Steinbeck who included him in "Cannery Row". While I stood there trying to take it all in, a flurry of activity swirled around the corner. An elementary school class rushed in in mass and came to an abrupt halt. In awe one boy said "what's that?"
One girl standing next to him said, "you're such a dodo" and strode up to the typewriter, an old Underwood higher than it was wide, and typed, "superman what are you to do now". Somewhere behind me I heard the "click" of a digital camera.

High School Latin Class
is no more.
It has gone the way of
The Dodo Bird
The Typewriter
Developing Film
And Public Pay Phones.
As true as standing still
is not possible,
My Sovereign State
depends upon those
who still
Recognize such Antiquities.

The word "response" brings up: correspond, responsibility, in my highschool latin the latin word "spondere" which means pledge or promise or here "re" to return "spondere" a promise.
The language we use is a moment in time. It comes often from the ancient past. In this case middle English after 1066 when the French invaded England and the English language took on French words and added them to the Germanic and Celtic mix. French is "romantic" as in roman (Latin).
We think we are here as if here is as it has always been. We cannot stand still. Everything is moving. "right here, right now" is both true and not true. Our life is a succession of moments like watching a movie. The film's individual frame pass so quickly that there appears fluid motion.
