Let’s cut right through
the bombast ...
your camouflage of words
And redefine
the essence ...
of what you’ve never learned
Your double-talk
pontificates ...
to lure and to distract
Whose lies deride
wherein you hide ...
from what the truth exacts
(The New Room: February, 2025)
To A Poet At Yale
Old enough
to be your
Grandfather
Young enough
to be your
Friend
Wise enough
to see your
Greatness
Where time
and tide
— depend
(University City: April, 2025)
