My poems are better than I am
Life is harder than art
I like Dash Incredible
More than Napolean Blown Apart

Once I was a teacher
Tried to do my best
Mostly by the book
Blue shirt, tie, and vest

Wrote to Carl Hiaasen
The Green Flash is real!
If she were in my arms
Softly the reveal

Books have been companions
Tolkien, Melville, Poe
Seattle in the summer!
A Raven told me so

       Yoko yo yo!
