FIND-LIFE-IS-A-FIRST-
AND-LAST-DAY
Today is yesterday's tomorrow.
Today is tomorrow's yesterday.
One day joy; one day sorrow.
One day is all days, anyway.
WHAT-A-CARRY-ON-QUASIMODO
You carry a hump this life-long-day,
and in your head are clappers that clang.
The bells !! The bells !! They have their way.
You feel like the hunchback of Notre-Dame.
TRUTH-AND-THE-LONELY-
LAWMAN
I once knew a lawyer,
a just and honest man,
who when it came to truth
said "Let politics go hang."
My party wrong or right,
my country right or wrong,
was not of his thinking,
though find a thoughtful-one.
A DAYTIME'S ROBBERY
There are the twilight twitters
from the-birds-about-the-eaves,
and there is a lonely sparrow
who for the daylight quietly grieves.
It's as if a thieving magpie
the light had come to thieve.
THE PANDA-EYED-LIKE PAULA
Like a panda - from China -
bound in her man's zoo;
Paula's dark around the eyes,
he beats her black and blue.
Oh very far away land
of rice and of bamboo
there is an English girl
that over your sunrise chews.
