Little boys playing in the brown mud
Toy dump trucks building reservoirs
Took a hose to fill it - with Water
God playing in the red dirt dug out
A human form only one time
Took a nose to fill it - with Spirit
Nothing\'s been the same since
a bright electric green Carolina Anole
in a Texas humid summer black oak tree
while Vivaldi baroque sonatas and cannoli
and coffee play and provoke the senses making
sense of a scented blue paper origami turtle taking
time while a team of pea size featherlight flower balls
go power racing down the baking black asphalt street
tickling, having fallen from pink and white crêpe myrtle trees
