TinyBugs
Hidden microscopic bugs
eating holes in all the leaves.
I hope they don't invade my hugs
and give me itchy tickly sleeves.
Does the plant mind, do you think,
that it's riddled full of dots?
Or does it yearn for insect friends
and know the bugs must love it lots?

MetalCat
Metal cat, metal cat, 
what the heck you staring at
perched high up the 'lectric pole
in a fetching turquoise stole?
Trees behind you show right through 
your body made of curlicues.
I wish you looked down at the street 
I like your face more than your feet.

NightHatDark
Near South and Broad there is a wall
of Mural Arts causation.
A lion's face, a drill, a clock,
a scroll of divination.
The I Ching runs behind a wheel
and passersby can reach and spin
to let the future unconceal
the best way for them to begin.
We stop, we read, we make our bets
about which guidance we'll each get.
I spin it thrice, and, at the mark,
I hit the night, the hat, the dark.

AllCallsFree
Come learn about economics,
gender norms, and microphonics,
books, zines, wires, and anarchy.
Not questionable, Iffy.
Call whomever, share the glee,
their payphone says, laconically,
projecting generosity:
"Donations only. All calls free."

Speckles1 Speckles2 Speckles3
Sun-sprinkled scintillant speckles strewn astride a shining grin.
Dazzling dancing diaphanous freckles dot your delicate dappled skin.
Laughing eyes behind dark glasses gaze at me uncertainly
and curiously try to assess what it is that my eyes see.

WhatISee
I see the sunlight singing songs of praise. 
It shines signs on your face, "Good morning. Happy Birthday."
