I Talked to Them Folks Poem

I talked to them folks
an’ invited them by
I told’em
you’d be here
with me on this page an’
I told’em
we didn’t quite know what we’d say
an’ we were kinda unpredictable like that
You know?
Anyways here’s hopin’ they come by
an’ see us
cause we’s lonely here on this page

an’ there I go
talkin’ like there’s other folks
in this poem
besides me
well there’s also
you
and I guess it’s time to say something
important cause this here is a poem
Ya’ll
take care
ya hear?

What Nothing Poem

What nothing
are you dead
busy
busy doing what

Well what about that
it’s taking over you know
who?

Oh I thought you meant them

Yes them

Yes they are taking over but there is
nothing we can do about it
so there
just wait for the little
buggers to get out of their ships and…

All you’re doing is wandering around
looking for something
somewhere
somehow

the beans must get into the jar
the screws must all be tight

Early Spring Poem

Early Spring was an Indian maiden
sitting by the stream
Silver Moon was as brave as the wind
and he loved Early Spring
He sat beside her
as the water flowed
and whispered in her ear
Oh be my Early Spring
Oh be my Early Spring this year

And Early Spring looked into his eyes
and saw the Silver Moon his bravery hid so well

so in this the tale I tell
this story to provide
Early Spring and Silver Moon
and the stream you walk beside
