Plays Or Leans

it's a surprise or it's an act
or it's fate or coincidence or a buried victory
or tumbling into a deep hole or the economy of the 30s

or plunged into blasts of shivering ridicule
or popping wires from their communications points
or cougars' eyes glinting from lethargic trees

or there would be hazards or spectacles
or hazards but no spectacles or spectacles but no hazards
or there would be no obvious or meaningful incidents

The Wrong Crisis

A new committee will not help you think.
To get Icelandic jellyfish, cut a hole in Iceland.
Are you saying you can negotiate the complex paths that wind

through woods of green tension, to bed in peaceable houses?
Yes, drunk again.
Save the biological problems for the biologists.

From the grades they've assigned to life, it had to fail.
And a microscope is too big to prevent regret.
Any guiding star has to send you too far to circle back.

-- Glenn R. Frantz
