Dolphins in Venice

Everybody fell for it—you and me
Pretty little lies our friends had sent us
Proof in photographs, surprising must-sees:
Dolphins roaming clear canals in Venice
But wishful-thinking minds are overrun
Bit-streams are all muddied with deceivers
Dolphins stayed five hundred miles away from
The likes of forty-thousand believers
False hopes for Mother Nature’s victory
Fantasies click-fueled by attention-lust
So say the experts in psychology
Who warn against a spiral of distrust
Wise creatures speak their truth in metaphor
And hope requires us to imagine more

Angry Birds

Hey hey angry bird
Back off my window before you break it
Look close now, you’ve foolishly
Confused your reflection with the enemy
Your angry instincts are mistaken
Poor poor angry bird
Angry birds come pulling up
With loaded guns in pickup trucks
To shut down the streets in the capital city
Flags raised to the heavens above
Angry birds stare down doctors in scrubs
It’s a kick in the teeth to someone who took pity on you
But you can’t feed a crumb of truth to an angry bird
Hey hey angry bird
Get off that high horse before you break it
Look close now I get the sense
You’ve confused oppression with inconvenience
Poor poor angry bird

Seeds

Punch drunk as those
In the throes of disease
Coiled up and floored
On leaf-hands and root-knees
Mysteries untold
By trees grown old
Survive as seeds
Mothers in green
Lay unseen and displeased
Rained over in praise
But not truly believed
Wise schemes unsold
Are seeds of gold
To scribes of whispering
Tomorrow-forests of poem
Grow from pen ink
And word-scattered seeds

Don’t cry this way
We’ll be okay
When the night winds come
For they will come
Don’t feel dismayed
I’ll stay right here
When the night winds come
The night winds come
Old blackbird’s flown away
No dead-of-night singing
Night winds have blown away
Pintails and starlings
Don’t feel dismayed
I’ll stay right here
When the night winds come
The night winds come
