"Good words are worth much,
and cost little." (George Herbert)
Green Buddhas
On the fruit stand.
We eat the smile
And spit out the teeth.
Charles Simic, “Watermelons”
I say drop a mouse into a poem
and watch him probe his way out,
from “Introduction to Poetry” by Billy Collins
the Tandy 2000 runs MS-DOS but
can’t use most programs produced for
the IBM Personal Computer
unless certain
bits and bytes are
altered
but the wind still blows over
Savannah
and in the Spring
the turkey buzzard struts and
flounces before his
hens.
from “16-bit Intel 8088 chip” by Charles Bukowski
