Star Spangled Eulogy
A poem
Let it be known to all this day
The American dream has passed away
Aborted and wrapped in a soiled flag
Dusted in ash in a plastic bag
Just like our unborn daughters and sons
Truth be known I guess they're the lucky ones
Tossed out into a drainage ditch
Drained of it's blood to bathe the rich
Scooped up and thrown in rubbish can
Carried to the dump by the garbage man
Stinking and dry in the mid day heat
Rats and oppossums gather 'round to eat
They gnaw on the flesh and they lick the bone
Growling at each other when the meat is gone

A Dart at Dusk
Seconds ago, the sullen sun set on the two of us… my exuberant furry companion and me. A fresh breeze embraces us, delivering welcome relief from the day’s oppressive heat. His typical stumbling and staggering along — apace with a sloth — has turned into trip-trapping, high-stepping, almost skipping along.
