society high

society refused 

the likes of you and me

too bad for society. high but not whole

unrepresentative 

by the difference

panic

when the worry turns

2 catastrophes which cannot be

panic on the lonely road

the fear of fear this cannot be

heart pounding chills 

time slows down

you cannot breathe

it cannot be

cup your hands

for some small rhythm

in panning the motion slow

for gold. move against the grain

my love counter clock

wise until panic sets

you free

body by sofia

sunshine today and body by sofia. old king charles spaniel pedigree. a hefty gal with heavy action on the shaggy tail wag and plenty of bark. only bites in service to ye olde belly at mealtime. she comes up to our harley without any fear of the pipes. likely dampened by the hardness of hearing. eye level where tire meets spoke. daddy calling out with care at the tip of the cane  #katyamills

april 20

the roosters the dogs the cats

toll the time

they fight for their lives

we get into our wheels we

run to our hearts 

content

Biltmore 1946

the sun sets on the Tahoe Biltmore 

another hotel casino shuttered in Crystal Bay, Nevada

please look out for Mary 

the cabaret dancer from the Aspen Room who 

lost her life on Mount Rose Highway

her restless spirit wanders

hostile takeover

resting in a meadow 

on a day only god could cook up 

the poorest being on earth

became the wealthiest man 

alive

gatekeeperz

we wait under a spotlight

identification cards belly up on the table 

electroshock cardiograms register nothing 

reading this gatekeeper's addled heart

and mind

our boots have steel toes

we know our damn rights
