POEMS

 

1

What dew the Sun

   takes away

the Moon soon comes

   and replaces.

 

2. Entropy Clock

 

I devised

an entropy clock

the more it ticks

the more it tocks.

 

At one time

way back when,

all was wound up -

unwinding began.

 

My clock measures

every break,

every little fissure,

each little quake,

 

of the inevitable,

falling apart,

no longer ticking,

entropy clock.

 

3. (a quatro based on a Will Dockery poem)

 

watching the water boil

snowflakes falling outside

 

4.

Whether you like

my art or not,

the numbers don't lie.

I am prolific.

 

5.

I tried to capture

motion in my painting

but nothing pictured

would wait to dry!

 

6.(vision poem)

 

I watched as a line

of people pulling a rope

played tug of war

with the sea pulling back.

 

7. (Mother's Advice)

 

"Jacob! Jacob!

You're wrestling an Angel!

What possible good

can come of it!?!"

 

SAYINGS

 

Vision:  Like an egg timer set on forever...

 

For some reason most ghosts don't want to stick around.

 

Gravity is a drag!
