MY HEART……is not in the City; With its crowds moveing where no one knows- It is out in the hills of the PRAIRIE: With their strong SWEEPING WINDS- And their SNOWS! Its out where the stacks of the harvest Once stood in the trail of the “Boo”- Who came humming along with his PITCHFORK; And….stayed [...]

1 Present Day It was the first Monday in weeks when I was not in office before ten. As I saw the frosted sundial of my old citizen ticking eleven thirty, I cursed myself for the umpteenth time for choosing that insurance company. I found out that the other companies did not require so many [...]

Like Orpheus, I was longing to turn To see if you were still there But should you see me, Everything would disappear Unaware of messengers watching One glance from you exploded the seal On my ordinary existance. Crowded bazaars Became our private meeting places. Duties became intrusions and we became defiant, As heroes were to [...]

Familiar cafe could be anywhere I sit in the backstreet of the bazaar, Athens See your lips forming my name As you race down the hill, face glistening From your long day’s songwork under an actor’s mask. Having left the women’s quarters disguised as a Manservant, I tremble in this unscheduled secret Spring fast into [...]

July Fourth Marching bands Um pa pa. Kids on bikes Ooh la la. Fire engines clanging Oh ma ma. Politicians waving Playing the crowd. Sweating marchers Puffing aloud. Is this what it is All about? Is this the reason We all shout? Nothing meantioned About the men who bled, Or of those who lie dead. [...]

Big city wilderness, what can compare? Folks by the millions, in lone solitaire, Looking, not seeing the traffic around, Heading to work and then home they are bound. No time for chatter or saying “Good Day”, In a big hurry, they go their own way, Whether by subway or taxi or bus, “Nothing is perfect”, [...]
