those who ever said I could have
if I had been
better
meaning better
in talent
sure
there’s also the spirit
not in
if God let
me
but if God had kept this from happening
the thing
or
things that limited
worse that
might
have required me
to sin
or
to choose virtue
sometimes either’s
limiting
sin
circumstance
situation ethics
or
lack of worldly repentance
on Earth
or in ourselves
I coulda’been
but
aren’t we all
contenders

My eyes and stress
Aren’t doing so well
The limitations come up shorter
Than they used to
It doesn’t take as long to
Make the fence
The metal one
The metal fence with metal signs
About trespassing
Access or the lack thereof
x
On the other side
Is twenty-twenty
And easier living
The kind that happens in
A Gershwin summer
Though maybe
That’s not so easy, after all
Prejudices
Production values and the process,
Overall
Whatever money and material
Involved

My dad has a barn
My mom can make costumes
Come on, gang,
Let’s have a show
Easy times
And black and white
Because so much youth was involved
Thank you, Rooney
Thank you, Garland
x
Thank you for who made the barn
And wrote the music
We’ll find the instruments
Keep practicing
I hear the backer might
Show up anytime now
For a matinee
Or evening show,
x
Which is good
Because the talent
And the crews
And the producers might be
Getting tired

Weasels
I’ve never met a weasel
I hear they pop
Whenever there might be
A mulberry bush close by
And a monkey
I suppose comparing them to ferrets
Would be offensive
For one party or the other
Otters, maybe?
I guess weasels are their own kind
But are they slender and slippery,
Able, well,
To weasel out of things?
I have jury duty coming up
Maybe I could borrow a talent
Or two talents
Not that I mind
Fear of the unknown
I don’t know if weasels have that, too,
Which is why they move so fast,
If they do
