Let me trade in my smile for fangs And my feminine fingers for paws. Let me trade in my manicured nails for claws And my curly locks for silver fur. Let me trade my heart shaped mouth for a long snout And the freckles on my nose for whiskers. Let me trade my curves for a round, bushy tail And my clumsiness for strength and agility. Let me trade my tears for whimpers and barks And my voice for howls in the night. Let me trade my dinner reservations for hunting down a moose And my poor senses for keen ears and a nose. Let me trade my soul for a different one And become a friend to the moon. Let me live my life as a wolf And all that it encompasses. Let me symbolize the dawn and the dusk And let me symbolize the converging of light and darkness. Because that is wolf, And that is what I see, when I look in the mirror.

Wolf

Let me trade in my smile for fangs And my feminine fingers for paws. Let me trade in my manicured nails for claws And my curly locks for silver fur. Let me trade my heart shaped mouth for a long snout And the freckles on my nose for whiskers. Let me trade my curves for a round, bushy tail And my clumsiness for strength and agility. Let me trade my tears for whimpers and barks And my voice for howls in the night. Let me trade my dinner reservations for hunting down a moose And my poor senses for keen ears and a nose. Let me trade my soul for a different one And become a friend to the moon. Let me live my life as a wolf And all that it encompasses. Let me symbolize the dawn and the dusk And let me symbolize the converging of light and darkness. Because that is wolf, And that is what I see, when I look in the mirror.

A gray hippopotamus lived in a zoo At the end of the Tropical Line, Harry the Hippo lived next to the loo Right by the Northern confines. With his wide toothy smile, And his great double chin, He greeted his neighbors With a great hippo grin... Made friends with the deer, Made friends with an owl, Avoided the white scowling bear, Avoided the family of wolves, (He'd heard they liked to eat meat). Decided to friend a great, walloping moose, A challenge, his neighbor seemed rather elite. Tall and severe with a beard on his chin, He stood like a tree on his heavy brown hooves, And branches of antlers stood heavy and grim. "I see we are neighbors,"said Harry the Hippo, "Name's Harry," he said with a grin, "Since it looks like we'll be here a while, ya' know, I figure we ought to be friends!" "Bull" Moose only chewed a bit more on his cud, Burped in the gray hippo's face, Turned his wide antlers for well and for good... He spurned the whole hippo race. But Harry had patience, Had nowhere to go, So he waited a week and a month and a day For Otto the Moose to come 'round, And he did! And now the two of 'em play. Our Harry's advice to you is be nice, And after a while, it comes true.... The balkiest neighbors will have to think twice And fall into friendship with you. (0=

Welcome Back To This, Your Isle The rabbits beneath the deck, Even the pesky deer who eat the shrubbery, Sea creatures, living and spirits of the dead, Lying on the paths and in the creeks of Silver Beach, All inquire: Was it better wherever you went? Were the: Bears, hiding in the forests outside Berlin, Eagles, double headed, of Russia Herring, fried, creamed, wined, From the vendors on the docks of Helsinki, Riga, Visby and Tallinn, Salmon, smoked and cured in Stockholm, More impressive, Tastier than our striped bass, Island cohorts of yours, who waited patiently For their chronicler to return? Did the Little Mermaid and her Dolphin Guardians of the Port of Copenhagen Welcome you more warmly than your friends, The ospreys, lizards, turtles and owls Who overwatch your steps and safety When hiking in Mashomack Preserve? Are the interlacing tidal creeks, Woodlands, fields, salt marshes and the ragged, Irregular but charmed coastline of this cherished island Any lesser than those of Scandinavia? Are the sea-going ferries that transverse the Baltic Sea and the Gulf of Finland, More poetic than the Menantic or the Lt. Joe, Who carry you swiftly home to us? The National Geographic people say that in Tivoli Gardens, The Amerikaner (ha!) waffle ice cream cone Is one of the ten best in the world. Guessing they have not made it yet to the Tuck Shop for some Moose Tracks! Were you unaware that our isle settled before Peter the Great ever envisioned creating the grand Boulevards of his capitol, St. Petersburg, Route 114 was a traveled forest path, By settlers and Indians, not serfs. Of the Treasures, the Gold Room of the Hermitage, The Amber Room of Catherine's Palace, Wrote not a single word, we observe. Your attentions, they did not deserve? The answers all, self evident. Here, surrounded by the gentle breezes of Long Island Sound and Gardiners Bay, Sweet and salty flavors of the Peconic atmosphere, Words unlocked, from your eyes to the page fall, Smudged by joyous tears, for the muses of the island Have embraced you yet again and rebirthed Inspiration, within their comforting, sheltering grasp.

Like drinking water out of mason jars Like reading through fake plastic glass Like dressing in your grandparents bolts of fabric Like holding an unfiltered cigarette Or even better a wooden pipe… Smoke swelling in closed mouths And nostrils blowing in sailboat clouds Down to the next not- Starbucks To sit on a velvet couch with Coral painted nails and a chai in hand... You all can be like this. With no workout clothes and With at least two piercings in your nose You all are like this soon enough. Who gave you the idea to pick up the Ukulele anyway? Who gave you the idea to shave one quarter Of your head? We all did. We all are a Fleet of individual sameness, A want to stand out from the Cookie- cutter looks, But now we’re all cupcakes With the same story but with Different hooks For hands, snagging the rest Of us along. With your identical twin lipstick And Birkenstock feet. The lack of shock we absorb Gets lonely and depressing. So lets all move to Montreal And French kiss and knit And maybe real soon the Croissants will go stale And it’ll be cool to live In Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan.

Went our hunting, shot a tree Sure looked like a deer to me It don't matter, I can't see I'm an American Hunting Man I like hunting, but, I'm blind My dogs always stay behind I can't shoot what I can't find I'm an American Hunting Man Three years ago I shot a moose It looked to me just like a goose Man, they're fast when they cut loose I'm an American Hunting Man Give me beer and loaded guns I'm sure we're gonna have some fun I dress in camo when I can I'm an American Hunting Man I'm an American Hunting Man When I'm hunting my friends are fishin' They don't like the competition They even give me ammunition I'm an American Hunting Man I've hunted deer to wild turkey Most things I make into jerkey My vision ***** it's kind of murky I'm an American Hunting Man Went fishing once and snagged my ear Flipped the boat and spilled the beer I gave up fishing to hunt deer I'm An American Hunting Man Give me beer and loaded guns I'm sure we're gonna have some fun I dress in camo when I can I'm an American Hunting Man I'm an American Hunting Man I was shooting ducks one time I shot a truck, but that was fine Until I found out it was mine I'm an American Hunting Man Give us weaponry and beer Then get away when we are near There's nothing more that you can fear Than an American Hunting Man I have the shakes and I can't see When I shoot once I bring down three One for real and two for free I'm an American Hunting Man Give me beer and loaded guns I'm sure we're gonna have some fun I dress in camo when I can I'm an American Hunting Man I'm an American Hunting Man

The surface of the water at Garrett Lake is a ballroom floor, the bluest of hardwoods. Hiding itself within its leafy forest green walls, which if looked upon closely, one would swear you can see the woods. We blazed a trail past a fallen trunk, presumably lightning struck whose roots had twisted into the shape of a moose fallen to sleep or endure breathe no more, past the row of trees split by the trail. One side Life, the other death. We found our way to an elder pine who wanted to be a pier and dove down so we could sit upon him, no longer on land, legs dangling like a chandelier above the ballroom.

Such solidarity we created On the hilltop with the cows Discussing sassafras, Our Chakras, Summer-berry wine. Per aspera ad astra But without inhaling tar We have come. The cornbread with anise and wheat berries Cruncy and sweet Slathered with strawberry jam Was such a luxurious meal For us two tired wanderers. We're left over from the '60s Living in the past but in the moment Listening to Mama Tried (well, she did!) And crying over Wharf Rat We model turtles, Celtic knots, a moose Dream of yesterday and tomorrow Say what we mean Take a misguided turn driving home And our minds meander to slumber and internal illusions.

What I want Talk to me Maybe I can help Tell me what is going on In that maze that is the male mind I am lost in the confusion of your signals Do you want me? Or am I a lamp post? Do you enjoy talking to me? Or am I a substitue for someone better? Such as a moose You've completely addled my mind It is made up of jello Pudding is better So it is now made of pudding That means trying to think Is like swimming in pudding! How would you feel if someone made you swim in pudding all the time? Let me tell you It isn't always pleasant Gets in your ears it does Now why was I rambling? Oh yes! You you you!!! Make up your mind will you! So I can stop being full of pudding!

I’ve been squeezing moose all over my body in an attempt To give it more volume Which is to say I was trying to give my life more depth When you’re finished reading astronomy you’ll end up Throwing oranges at pedestrians because **** it, Earth is Meaningless and everyone needs to cheer up **** it because being content is the hardest Thing you can possibly do Which is to say throwing oranges at people is the hardest Thing to do without getting your *** kicked **** it because when an orange concentrates hard enough it becomes juice And if I concentrate hard enough I **** myself Which is to say I need to have a seat and calm down— Enjoy this cigarette while it lasts I am no longer able to print Handle-With-Care labeling And tape it to my body like someone who actually believes that works While the sun laughs and harasses me with oranges all day **** it, there’s too much moose and I’m wearing a white shirt.
