Poem XXI: Mimus polyglottos

the mockingbird
        Mimus polyglottos
of all the avifauna

is the official bird
of Texas
AND
of Tennessee

      O Passeriformes! O ye  Mimidae!

only a mockingbird
could work out a deal like that

Poem XVI: Ars mentis

i'm not crazy:

we can increase our awareness of reality
by likening things which are not
associated by habit
or by Nature,
but which we by doing so
augment, as by development.

It is a practice I practice.

It is a dream I have.
