Between the blades of grass
On a sun-rich day
Where flowers are done blooming
And the hare hop free in spades
There is an open meadow
Where memories are made
And magic tends to happen
In early June, late May
that smiled so sweet,
said hello in church this morning.
I saw storming out of his house,
screaming and swearing at his spouse.

This same man
that sang praise,
raised his fists to his daughter today.
The same three-piece suit
kicked his dog in cowboy boots.

This same man
that leads boy scouts
hits the bars/has a mistress on the side.
And ******'s he has eyed.
The man
I'll call neighbor,
has to be the greatest faker.

This same man
men look up to
and woman fawn all over
is not one bit kosher.
Wisdom doesn’t live on the tip of an owls wings, it comes on a gush of wind that knocks you down.

An owl just stairs and watches you fall. That’s a hoot!👀🦉

I squeezed the azure sky with my poetically charged fists.
The earth was covered in a blue ocean. Everything turned bluish! The one-color world blinded humans' criminally discriminating eyes.
we are an infinite                regress
    of reflections and           refractions
    of actions and         reactions
         complex       fractions
of interference     patterns    
and mathematical    interactions  
intricately intersecting    connections      
   branching on   tracks
through the     confusing   profusion       
of this soothing     illusion   we create      
            of reality     being a   place         
tessellating in   parallel  space   
               like an  abstract fractal  
in an interdimensional tesseract
reflecting back on itself forever
