Dismal leaving results are engraved
on the chicks which Curly had not saved. Flew the coop, crossed the street, now they’re all road-kill meat. That is not de-boned chicken I craved. ·······  ·······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.

Don't play chicken with runaway trucks
lest the whole highway side be in flux; desolation would spread o'er the living and dead... and the sight of such bloodshed quite sucks! ······· ·······Slow down; things will go faster!

by poor Grateful finding Blonde late, for the pea’s in her pod due to that naked god; and the shame is it was their first date. ······· ·······When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations.
