Buddy Knows First
December 2, 2010
He leaps from the couch,
growls at the sky
looks back to me
a sad goodbye.
Soon come winds
blasted from hell.
All we can do
is bark and yell.
The Earth
soon an ember
our spirits release.
Another failed planet.
Another failed peace.

My thoughts are like dogs
roaming free in the world,
sniffing this way and that
all day and all night.

fill my brain with your light
March 27, 2007
At night I walk the dog throughout our neighborhood. I hear no songs being sung. I hear no instruments in practice. I see no families gathered at tables. Only head after head facing electronic screens. House after house plugged in for the night.
Frame after frame – like electron freight cars to the mind – they dump tons of cues mixed with bullshit.
Work Dog
July 2, 2006
My dog would love
to work
like me.
I dream
of staying home
like him.
He gets too little
car time.
I get
too little
sleeping in.
He can go to work
for me.
As well
as I,
he can labor.
While I stay inside
our
cozy home
and bark at
every neighbor.

He leaps
from the couch
and growls at the sky.
Then looks back at me –
to say goodbye.
Soon come the winds
straight from hell
all we can do
is bark and yell.
The Earth is an ember
our spirits release,
another failed planet
another failed peace.
