Fate . . .

. . . Now luna, you're going to get a concussion.
If you've hit that screen once, must've hit it a dozen.
Perhaps to your eyes that light is attractive.
If you really got in, you would feel like a captive.
Should I turn off the lights, or turn the television off?
Should we be mouse-ly quiet, cease to talk, even cough?
So back into the woods, our poor luna friend flew.
Left our door screen alone.  Left our deck and house too.
But in some way I felt we had seen something great.
I was fortunate; lucky to have this be my fate.

Twas More . . .


Leaning forward, now abandoned my yoga position,
I directed my attention with quite some suspicion 
The summer night air was unusually cool
In the break from the swelter August gave as a rule.
During one of his thuds on the screen to break in,
We saw the huge luna moth that was making the din.
He had beautiful colors, circles tail and antennae.
Either angel from heaven. Maybe ghoul from Gehenna.
He bashed and he battered towards the light from inside.
Must have knocked himself silly. Would have made me cross-eyed.

Music . . .

 


You're a star.
Where you wanted to be,
You now are.
From afar
You appear not too different
Than me.
But the scars
You've acquired 
Did not come free.

Had I tried;
Had I done all I could
With all my might
Would the ride
Give return on the price
Which was required?
Cast aside
Any thoughts of security.

Afterward . . .


Twas one night after season, when all through the condo,
Not a creature was dancing, not even the quando.
The spiderwebs hung from the decking with care
When the foot traffic ebbed and the tourists weren't there.
The children all visited when the weather was warm.
They'll come back in the winter if their schedules conform.
And mamma in bermudas and I in gym shorts,
Settled down for a movie and after-dinner snort,
When outside, in back, something whipped on the screen,
I uncrossed my legs to take in the strange scene.

Assessment . . .

. . . by whom??? 

Sometimes I feel 
Like I'm doing this thing
Which I love and I'm good at,
But what does it bring?  
Satisfaction, is one thing,
For a job that's well done.
Entertainment is another,
For it really is fun.
Intellectual stimulation,
Very wordy, but true,
When it's honestly good
to the critic that's you. 
So the tally adds up 
To much more than I thought.
Now I find I'm producing
So much more than I've bought.


Less Than Zero
