Daffy's cousin,
cringes at loud noises.
His first and only job was a
decoy.

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.
John Fitzgerald Kennedy

inspiration is hard to find

Inn's pace
slowed to a crawl
when two o'clock arrived.
Those who had walked in earlier
crawled out.

on the calling of "Time"
a ceremony now cancelled -
zonked out ....

A gain
in comedy
was lost in racism.
Vaudeville's death was not from Ziegfeld's
follies.

Still... hot
from the wood fire
used to boil the corn mash
but the copper coils will cool the
moonshine.
