verses

Reminder

 

 

nosebleed and cartilage build the private road


the gourmet bread is baked with salts of sweat


the yacht is raised by callused hands


the ninety nine cut goes to the one percent

 

Bertolt Brecht



contrary to cerebral belief

 

it’s the lumpen northeast wind


and never the erudite sun


that dries up the vapid puddle

 

 

Prayer

 

 

let fairness deliver our inheritance


free every man from avarice and haste

peace is found when life’s mania dissipates
