You may Watermelon
CRAWL in a country line,
GLIDE like a Russian Beriozka,
POLKA at Lee County Fair, gyrate your
GROIN like Elvis or 6ix9ine.
Dance however you choose, but may you always be genuine.

Illicit Polka
CRAWL past the windows, to avoid
aGRO IN my fundie family, then
GLIDE away on my bike to the dance.
POLKA past midnight. Now, can I get back undetected?
We all scream for ice cream
BUSHY, furled eyebrows give impression of
WORRY and heavy burdens, standing there on the
PATIO looking pensively out over the scenery, but no:
SHAVEd ice spilt on the ground, and he’s miffed about it.
Close Shave
BUSHY conflagration on Horeb’s
PATIO, the avenging angel’s close
SHAVE (thanks to Zipporah)––not to
WORRY, He’s on your side, Moses.

Tiptoeing to a Date
BUSHY eyebrows furrowed, crazed- don’t
WORRY! But hurry- and take time to
SHAVE before you tiptoe out to meet your date on the
PATIO
Maybe Today
BUSHY beard, long nails, dark bags under eyes,
WORRY consumed, walls closer now, hope is slender.
PATIO? Should I go out into the sun? And if so,
SHAVE first? Take a step?
Breaking out
REEDY as her small but steady
VOICE is, when she rides the
CURVE of this vocal line, she
STARTs to sound like a soprano.
Clarinet’s Voice
CURVE lips inward, embouchure set
START blowing with keen execution
REEDY tones on the clarinet, whose
VOICE sounds breathy- nearly human.
Worshipper of Mars
REEDY voiced Patton, inextricably both martinet and maverick,
VOICE high, swearing a streak, because warriors swear,
CURVE of gleaming helmet liner, ivory pistol grips, blending with
START of battle in feral drive, never letting up, hard charging worshipper of Mars.
Ain’t Just a River
CURVE of the Nile, each bank
REEDY and good for camouflage:
START the little ark’s journey––its passenger’s
VOICE will bring down an empire.
