leaning on a snow fence
alongside a highway
staring at that water
to be so comfortable
la-z-boy comfortable
traveling at breakneck speed
my head much too close to the ground
laughing to pee
your rocket booster
i tip off at the last second
careening screaming you take the jump
jumping out of the car
screaming
arms waving to raise majesty
abandoned riverfront
thousands of sea gulls
get the last laugh
temporary campfires riverside in the dark
beauty doesnt always have meaning
tell of the contradictions you see
a dying city
a former powerhouse of magnificence
kenya doesnt understand
(i'll tell you what beauty is
its in the eye of the beholder)
its what happens when he builds me a snowman
hot chocolate in the garden
arms sore from snowball fights
perfect placement
head whips forward
alley cats cheer
i gotta remember to run
zig
zag
snow down the collar retaliation
retreat!
the church will provide refuge
but these stone city churches
are long since locked
saving nobody
yoga in the soft snow
snow pants padded
learning to roll
with it
free handstands
oh sorry, i was looking at that dog
you did the Iditarod proud
mush!
ease back
praise the winter sky
tree silhouettes
with song
1am sitting in (how many chairs?)
adirondack chairs
stacked on top of kitchen tables
watching it softly snow on
christmas story land
urban dreaming
organic produce
composting
mixed with
weekly pesticide application
wasted water
dichotomy
i could care less
if my neighbor is
an 83 year old
venture capitalist
with a tux wearing butler
and a hall of armor
a study in contrasts
give me reclaimed grit anyday
kiss my fingertips
in the wee hours
