SHONE the waning light on
WRIST, mosquito bitten, stirring
CHILI over hard earned fire,
CANOE drying next to the tent.
Sunstroke
SHONE on my wrist-watch, the sun.
WRIST tastes of chili, that’s weird.
CHILI con canoe – er, carne – how dumb!
CANOE reflects water; sun shone, I steered.

It’s Getting Rowdy
PRANK stank; he drew a blank.
PRICE was thrice what should suffice!
HONEY Bunny gambled his money.
POUTY, shouty- it’s getting rowdy!
Inflation
HONEY, come over here and check out the
PRICE of this bunch of radishes. This must be a
PRANK – almost a dollar per individual Brassicaceae?*
POUTY-faced is how I’ll be when I reach the checkout!
Brassicaceae can be pronounced Bras-si-kay-cee – and is in this piece.
Glimmer in the Ursine Mind
HONEY comb combed through,
POUTY bear got there late,
PRICE of late hibernation.
PRANK on those greedy others dimly glimmers at the edge of ursine mind.
Lump of Coal
HONEY, you’d better not
POUT, You’d better not cry;
PRANK your brother one more time, the
PRICE you’ll pay is high

Act!
ERASE grievance, ponder action, venture out in hope,
BORNE must be outrageous fortune, dismissed the if-only sham,
SLINGs and arrows weathered, assert your agency’s small dram.
BROODing: what will it gain or change? Act within your scope!
