                                       *** Toys and Goal to Go

          NFL game interrupted by *** toy at most confusing time
          possible and CBS fooled - The Mirror US

There are sports, and then there are sports
Whether in a warm bed or upon a playing field
For after the game young lovers’ disports
Follow when to each other happy love-birds yield

It seems rather awkward when curious *** toys
Are flung onto the fifty-yard line, or even more
Toward the goal while our favorite boys
Anticipate later that night quite another score

Oh, football fans!

Do think of the children, and try to refrain
From tossing toys (well, maybe an electric train)

fiddling a thought of poetry
juggling life with two hands

one hand knows what it is doing
the other has no clue
Traveler Sep 15
Are such narratives abrasive
Such as the condition of our racists
Like our cops who fear black faces
Perhaps you find such dialog tasteless

Would you rather read of love
Higher powers from above
Blinded souls that now can see
Angelic intervention when we bleed

Are you afraid to know
Or uncomfortable
Surely you must have a care
The establishment
Has taken the power
While we were unaware...

the deepest sigh
deepest prayer

to be gone from here?
rather, to be home at last.

green is easy on the eye
been seeing it since the beginning

blue is a wonder
does strange alchemy to the mind

red is a painting
ochre fingers

white is a veil
too bright to see through
