Contract Expiry If she didn’t have an audience she wouldn’t talk so loud, she wouldn’t sit so close, her hand gestures would have no meaning: Hey dude, I started powerwalking as I passed your house; I think I had like 7 beers in 3 hours— Andy Jackson tips his hat; a squirrel carries grass to a knothole high in the sycamore above one phone passing another phone in the park the leaves are tiny & new on the tree, tulips kiss the sky in perfect rows, pink blossoms sprinkle the ground, a message stippled in a universe unknown A Blind Dog Leading the Blind a blind dog leading the blind makes everybody happy by not getting anywhere fast; with cigar in hand & a ho ho ho he can flame up a controlled burn in the gulf of oil, a conflagration making hell of a beach, and heaven the yard next door to the BBQ with smoke akimbo, thick & black & in your face who needs trees when a starling will do, pulped down & sawdusted as a medium for shiitake mushrooms, wings spread for the printing o’ the declaration (of independence), as I aspire to be independent of everything, indie & outie & upside down
