you’ll vary nature, man

you can
open up a
used and abuse car lot,
letting some idiots help you
lease or try to sell off every old car
very cheaply so I would like
a chance on one item;
reserve me a

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.

and doesn't use a lot of oil
and one that's been regularly maintained
and isn't driven in the mud
or out on gravel roads
and still drives in

still drives
alloy nails
and winds up bending them
when you’re using a good hammer
to put together anything of wood
so you have to take bent ones out
which will weaken the joints
so remember,
steel drives

making him - destroyed

manhood:
adults that have
kindness for all the souls
inside of each child and parent,
not a self-indulgent pleasure seeker
giving nothing back to those who
helped you grow and ask why

going
on a long trip
requires a lot of time
if you have to drive to get there
what with traffic congestion and bad roads
so instead of all that hassle
buy tickets in advance
and then you can
go wing

all across the United States
but you could take a trip to Canada
inspired by old Sergeant Preston
and his faithful dog King
by visiting

vacations tempted me

visit
another place,
camping with not much room
and a hole in the ground to poop
taking cold baths in a lake full of trout
is no longer something I like;
old guys like comfort and
need a nice calm

Hi Daniel,
I couldn't decide so I did one on both sets of words.


garnering no closure

German
and some lingo
remains academic;
not being intellectual,
erudition about language is so
rare that limited encounters
impress me so when you
nudge me, you’re near
germane.



assist is a testament

accent
seemed to belie
strange word connotations
indicative of the content
summarized in the critique arena,
tending to analyze the term
instead of just someone
sitting down on
assent

sit down
when you're near me
to save me from walking
which of late is very painful;
if you have some paper we could compose
ourselves around some poetry;
important thing's to share
despite what we
set down

there are none to join us

I feel our problem is

and let them pick where you will help the team
to win many championships
and make your school famous

and I was merely the fastest

picking up some parts

play games
if you’re in to
cracking heads for the team,
kicking pucks around real hard ice
in large cold places where the skates are sharp,
new teams in a new arena,
gang-fights and a new scar,
until then, just
ply gums
