the wheel turns again
times past become times future
children cry, hunger

---

hunger and shame mix
babies cry and beg for home...
can't go home again

-

gramma's memories sharp
backstep begging men given
corn pone, pot liquor

-

oh mama
santa brought me an orange
what a wonderful christmas

---

From Nashville to Butte,
dust clouds erased the sun,
buried us in dark

-

Hoover sent soldiers
to burn our shantytowns down
and leave us homeless

---

cruel paradox:
we flee from dust to plenty
to suffer again

no one knows us here
there is nowhere else to go
what would mother do?

---

Mother, deep in thought.
Deeply furrowed brows, pursed lips.
What will come of us?

Vitruvian Man
the secrets you hide equal
the truth you reveal

-

Ezekiel's wheel
spinning across the heavens
carry us to the stars

-

Proportion and meter
measure and time, the cycle
of eternity

---

Arms outstretched describe
the scale and wonder of all
The circle is squared

---

Leonardo thought
Lakshmi Tatma became
Vitruvian man

---

to square the circle
eternal golden spiral
proportion divine

-

leonardo's ode
pythagoras' truth
windmills of the mind spiral home

---

Within mankind's wheel
Seven Chakras, I do see.
Life force energies.

---

Scientific method
of the Vitruvulix man
leaves much to be desired

---

"Four arms and four legs,
Or maybe a man's behind him"
Comments from my son.

Proof of insurance?
Where's your proof of my buiscuit?
I feel dangerous.

-

get me a six pack
some smokes, a burger with cheese
Jesus, take the wheel

---

Red alert! Red alert!
They're going out again
Time to patrol

-

There are no rules here.
But if you step out of line
I will bite you- Whoof!

---

Sadly cross eyed dog,
I wish you could wear glasses,
I guess I'll shoot you

---

Woof woof woof woof woof
woof woof -- sniff, sniff, grrrrr -- woof woof
woof woof woof woof woof

---

she did not
just say

'bath'???????

---

The wind in my face
Was lovely, until the fly
Smacked me in the eye.

Now stop the darn car
And get the stupid thing out
I cannot see straight

---

Yah, I'm good to go!
Fur shinin', studly collar
Dammit,no breath mints!

---

Dog happy in car
and makes a good passenger,
head out, ears flapping.

From stolid earth to
flaming sky, worlds will collide
when rage conquers fear

---

Our numbers are large
Yet still far to few to change
Rampant injustice

---

One defiant stare
One moment of brave manhood
Then he bleeds to death

---

my children's children
will laugh and play in your dust

---

Brutal savages
Pale skin, God and gun powder
will civilize you.

---

those so empowered
seek to control, to subdue
those who live freely

---

Authority called.
Old battles are fought again
and nothing is learn

---

Summer Church social.
fried chicken, blueberry pie,
hot dog! tug-o-war!
