Studio8 - Uniting the Arts

a woman writes of making a new duck
but I am not sure what she means so i ask
& for an instant everything inside my head
is covered with zombie geek frogs
& dogs licking rain from the grass -

remember when our heads
grew enormous with all
the new hot math ?
we investigated anti-rhyme
& available & buy now
and language remained potent
but its use less & less meaningful
the closer we approached the forest
of upright stones where no one babbles

a man i knew once painted an entire wall
of a nursery with a giant tree from inside
his mind - 20 years later he's in jail
for trafficking in child porn
which is a type of cannibalism

life as we know it
is also death
and i will not sing it's praises
as some do

the dog's tongue tickles the zombie geek frogs
some leap out of the way
others sit very still
thinking that invisibility will
keep them safe
but the dog is not fooled
those that sit still get eaten
and that more out of play than malice
or need

I liked this poem a lot. I, too, have been to a "forest of upright stones"
at "Stonehenge", in Salisbury Plains, U. K. "Froggy went a-courtin' & he did
ride, uh, huh..." So let's "Roll away the dew..."

remember when our heads
grew enormous with all
the new hot math ?

Ha Ha! Great stuff to me.
Thank you. I am always looking at the words and having words.
Keeping me in it.

Thx folks -
