GOOD KITTY

Come here, baby.
Yes, darlin’.
Yes, sweetheart.
Come on, honey.

Over here, baby.
Come here, precious.
Yes, sweetie. Come on.

Well, you stay right there then.
You do what you want to, baby.
That’s right, darlin’.
What a fine kitty you are.

READING BROADLY

Lately,
at the rate of half per day,
I’ve been reading books.
Health-and-healing is the theme,
broadly speaking.

Broadness includes
regenerative DNA, Mayan calendar,
sound and light therapies,
meditation, chanting, networking,
biographies, finances,
and—essentially—poetry.

One biography told the story of
a successful presidential aspirant.
Another was about an Alaskan wilderness
non-survivor. He too was a success;
broadly and poetically speaking.

YA GOTTA LAUGH!

Sometimes,
don’t you feel like that
close encounters mashed potato
mountain man—on a quest that is
peculiar, compulsive, and
directed toward no known object?

Well, don’t you, Spud?

ALL MINE

I declare this day for me—
mine to use judiciously
or to squander being free;
mine to use just being me.

I declare this day for me.
