2022, what about it?

[judih]

more tests doctor sez
give me your blood I need to know
human or alien

my blood
generations of weirdness
slow blended brew

[judih]

secret night weapon
my knees with full body force
attacking at will

[judih]

wisps of syllables
off on vacation
i sit this one out

[judih]

simple if allowed
impressions and gratitude
no need for labels

[saw]

legs blown up balloons
none of the causes very good
if they do find one

cardiologists Tuesday
PET scan on tap this Thursday
archeological dig

I'm doing fine though
legs elevated under desk
so I can still paint

this a haiku story
about a painters problems
and never giving in

gotta play the cards
we are dealt without whining
come on Miss Lady Luck

[sasha]

the older we are
the steeper the hills -
so it's always been

[judih]

kibbutz walk
distant booms increase volume
no reason to flinch

[saw]

humid hazy and hot
but no rain last night for Sir Paul
last time in town 1964

[judih]

buses and trains
may they run on time
energetic plea

[judih]

as school ends
suddenly affection
for all

[judih]

emerging talent
hoping for some fairy dust
rose-colored glasses

[judih]

dreams of bony dogs
poems of aging cats
change beyond control

[judih]

slipped between pages
secret message
not to be revealed

[judih]

spotted in hallway
cockroach size of small hamster
no longer mobile

[judih]

four-thirty morning
night owl still on guard
in kibbutz darkness
