POEMS

 

1 

Even a journey

to the center of the earth

at some point begins

a journey back out.

 

2. [the poet does a science paper]

I'm finishing my first

scientific paper

titled, "Butterflies

Evolved From Clouds."

 

3. 

PIED PIPER OF HAMLIN ((summary)

Rats! Rats!

everyplace

They call in the Piper

to eradicate

 

He plays. They Gather

from miles around.

He pipes. They follow

him out of town.

 

He returns with a bill

for the townsmen.

But they in return

turn him down.  Then...

 

He pipes again,

a different tune,

and the kinder follow

to their doom!

 

4. [a personal favorite]

In this painting

the rabbits in the air

 

5. [poetic physics]

"To go down these steps

you need a smaller

foot at each landing.

 

Atom to quark.

So on and so forth."

"What's at the bottom?"

asks the interviewer.

"It's steps for a while.

The rest unknown."

 

 

SAYINGS

 

My iron was wrought!

 

Government is more than money management.

 

Trying to get Bach precision with Tchaikovsky melody (writing my piano pieces).

 

Some argue that modern art doesn't have to be beautiful. I argue that it doesn't

have to be ugly either.

 

People can't buy groceries with political bickering.

 

No-isms - name for the new art  that opposes modern art and one trick pony, artists.

 

Your body is a wish list!

 

All work and low pay.
