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.

Rule Following
“PRESS” the round
DECAL instructed. I did.
VOCAL orders ensued- with much
GUSTO I quickly obeyed, lest that voice might think me rude.
