"There are only two mantras, yum and yuk. Mine is yum."
--Tom Robbins, Still life with woodpecker
 
 akimbo

petulant drifter
awash in dust
cracked skin, bony elbows
you look like a leper in the
death ray sunshine



Spring time, the only pretty ring time
birds sing, hey ding-
a-ding a-ding a-ding
Sweet lovers love
the spring
(half-remembered middle school Madrigal Choir song)

"The question isn’t who is going to let me; it’s who is going to stop me.” -- Ayn Rand
