Nothing is Odd!!


In Venice streets are paved with odd
bicycles find
worlds worth of fun
roller blades hold
music for everyone
lemonade stalls & leopard spots
carnival rides & chewing gum knots
muscle men
with tops off
showing the world
what they've got
carousels and airplanes
upside down laughter
from Jesus crazed men
everything is normal
nothing is odd!

Penguins and dolphins and a few memories


Somedays im lost,
out to sea, with the penguins and dolphins and a few memories.
Although toes are wrinkly, and hands look like prunes,
I'll stay out forever in this blue lagoon.
Sunset rolls by now, the moon is alive,
sparkly friends dive around dancing in time.
Cellophane cradles me while I rock to sleep,
rolling around crinkle noises at my feet.
I hear the mermaids, singing in time,
I think I may join them, but only for tonight.
