My cats are sunning in the windowsills.
The bees buzz around new growth,
and that bluejay . . .

Gossip
Round and round it goes;
Where it stops, nobody knows.
Rampant, vile, vicious lies,
Roll around tongues, pretentious in guise.
Circulate within a domain . . .

This is the deepest of all partings,
Foreshadowing reunions and re-partings:

The day you walked,
and walked away,
I saw . . .

Or will you be like
all

others

(This is another poem I wrote when I was a teenager)
To be a friend or not to be
That's the question you ask me
You want me to do something that's wrong
I didn't know confusion . . .

Now it is finally alright
To ponder poetry or prose;
