don't anticipate
anything profound from me;
eyes and mind are slow
it's a chore just to get up
and clean out the pool filter

clean the pool filter
after the dog swims around;
it’s out of kilter
when I get hair by the pound
he sheds all over the ground

When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the areas of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of his existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

where the dog took morning walk;
quite a hairy scene
best to wait for it to dry
ere using pooper-scooper

helps in keeping your hands clean
from solids or juice
or something that’s in between
that may look or smell obscene
