I Go Down To The Shore


I go down to the shore in the morning
and depending on the hour the waves
are rolling in or moving out,
and I say, oh, I am miserable,
what shall —

When Great Trees Fall


When great trees fall,50290
rocks on distant hills shudder,
lions hunker down
in tall grasses,
and even elephants
lumber after safety.

I entirely got rid of mice with peppermint oil! They apparently hate the smell. Ever since I put it out on the counters on cotton pads, no mice. I don't know about rats.

Control Burn

What the Indians
here
used to do, was,
to burn out the brush every year.
in the woods, up the gorges,
keeping the oak and pine stands
tall and clear
with grasses

A Day is Coming


A day is coming
in which misery will end.
A day is coming
in which poverty

Like endless lines and crowds
Of one color only. A species

Alone without context.
How lonely we have made
Ourselves, how poor.

Actually, Rossmen, I guarantee that if all government were to disappear in the US you would be wiped out with the rest of us very quickly. Mob rule is a real drag.
