many things
Such fun. Come visit me sometime.
A Fondness For Everything
I admit to a fondness
for everything because
when the light lands just so,
everything looks quite fine.
They look good
in the moonlight as well
but, then again,
everything always did.
I’ve never seen
a lousy cloud
or an awkward bird,
especially in flight
up near those dashing clouds.
Exceptions to the everything rule
are the arrogant and the entitled.
Those we can shoot
between their beady eyes
to be left in an untidy heap-
scavengers being
famously unfussy.
Further exceptions are
smokestacks and their belchy ilk,
traffic jams and
concrete dams.
What is as sad
as a river dammed?
As a matter of fact,
there are many places
where man has put
a wrong foot.
But everything looks on,
with a sweetness,
a forgiveness
born of long suffering.
They wish us well
and with mixed emotion,
hope we survive
to adulthood.
