Would the pieces fit
The modular man
Eyes from a Keller
Ears from a deaf fellow
Tongue from poison asp
Nose of Jimmy Durante
Mouth of Navy sailor
Brain of one insane

the Rollei
The Rollei
When one wants to see anew
Take something vintage
And through it view
A vision intended
Big Shoals
Big Shoals
It’s a nice hike
Best when waters low
For if you go
Along the Florida Trail
And you don’t want to
Walk an extra mile
Up the hill
To the beam bridge
You can hop across
Robinson branch
That is
If the waters low
Or, just get wet
Either way
It will do you good
And btw
When you get to the
Shoals
Be sure to sign my card
In the tree notch
That way
Next time I come
I’ll know you’ve
Been there too.

Come ye Triumphant sons
Before our homeland burns
The blue invader comes
For kingdom come we yearn.
Til the day comes
Vote red for our sons sons.

If I but dip
If I but dip
We all have in our lives the maladies that are in such need of that dip within the angelic pools of stirring waters. October on is to me the best time to dip ones maladies in the Itchetucknee.
The sun
They say the sun is round
Down at Watertown
I went down
To see if it was to be found
Just as they said it would be.
The finest fog
The finest fog
It was the finest fog
A perfect blend
Of cane syrup cooking
Smoke house hams
Curing
Autumn leaves burning
I've yet to dwell in
A finer fog
The elusive light
Through the cypress
It was a rapid walk at six
To reach the edge of the cypress
By the time I arrived
The elusive light
Was just beyond my reach.
Comes the opening
Comes the opening
Do you not sense at times
in your mortal flesh
a distant quickening
that you were not one
created for long slumbering
that there is coming
an opening
A way into the
ancient of days?
Counting crow
The summer like day
Then comes the summer-like day,
Bids the old man rejoice!
His joy! his last! Oh, the man gray
Loveth that ever-soft voice,
Gentle and low.
Auden
