like zombies looking for brains

dodging cars and bums
walking up hills in the rain
Seattle winter

God wants a flat tax?
which bible are you reading,
the one for nut jobs?

Argh!

don't give a deadline
when you need something before
the established time

Yah for Variety

when pasta with sauce
and ramen are normal fare
mashed potatoes rule

Zeitgeist I

baby carriage sticks
a stranger opens the door
thus faith is restored

the ocean takes lives
as it give its life to us
nature is balance

ignore cool breeze across Sound
bask in the glow now

the glow from the west
illuminates the buildings
glass sparkles, brick glows

that have to be done right now

traffic congestion
get cars and trucks off the road
try using your feet

Think of the Trees...

look for post-consumer waste

if your ballot comes
or if you cast at the polls
please get out and vote

searching for wealth from spices
instead he found slaves

economy is whim based
hostage of Wall Street

when food costs rise
top ramen with mac and cheese
are the new staples

policemen, firemen, roads
safe food, clean air and water
thank the "nanny state"

Living in the Square III

drunk enters lobby
security says to leave
drunk gives a salute

shall not be abridged by law
made by the Congress

when it hits you will know then
it was worth it all

Old Man McCain walks
behind Obama on stage
is he doddering?

exhaustion floods mind
lay yourself down on the bed
sleep, oh precious sleep

Rice "Milk"?

you have to wonder
what they squeeze to the milk
out of a rice plant

sometimes living life
seems like walking a treadmill
going no where fast

memorize the "facts"
regurgitate on demand
you can debate too

No Kau-Kau for you!

waiting for take out
good friends are bringing hot food
alas! they failed us

Metro Newfie

big dog rides the bus
slobbers all over the floor
leaves all with a smile

Newfoundland dogs.
