more notes without structure

your green buds
have left a message
for the wild turkeys
negotiating their
path across the avenue
     sometimes the grass is greener
     if you're willing to move on

not much sense standing

on one foot
if you can still run

the cameras are rolling

from the school yard
but it's not exactly
hoop dreams
being filmed

power lines do more

than wake up old sitcoms
that couch is thoroughly soggy
from laying on the beach

carp are freshwater

& know how to multiply
even slap you in the face

when the sun

finally forces everyone
to open their eyes
don't be surprised
and don't use that word
don't
