April
Emerging as a juicy mango
Unfurling like a pink newborn
Cotyledons unfolding, as
The embryos of April form
Shedding winter coats and molting,
Sloughing sweaters and outer warms
Slipping from our socks and morphing
Hatching as our cells transform
Emerging as a little sapling
Unfurling like a pink newborn
April makes us feel like babies
In our new skin, feel the warmth
Exoskeleton starts forming
From callused heals and little thorns
Here comes winter with a vengeance
Crawl into my bed once more
Then the snow starts gently falling
button up my winter coat
Share a cigarette with silence
I’m freezing and I start to mourn
Shedding winter coats and molting
Spring is knocking at my door
Square Wheels
Sustain the story A repetitive view A constant sameness Similar The system works Why fix the wheel? "It's square", you say. But that's okay!A work of art A bike that stays It does not roll Away Now there it sits Some say it quit Some say it put downRoots One can assume Like me and you The bike would like to move "But what you don't seeThat while I may not move, The world is moving around me"
