heavy rain storm
birds looking for place to hide
squirrels not far behind
bamboo dancing in the wind
happy
shack roof not leaking again

another coconut falls
I’m watching birds sip water from hanging trays
my tired bones

Boiling Over
of course
folks upset
most
just
wake-up
brush teeth
shower
work
sleep
same
same
across each sea
perpetual motion
little time for cup of tea
freedom = snatching moldy crumbs while on knees
struggle to subsist
ask big boss to piss
Why not protest?

Peons shortchanged
Why sweat under hot sun?
Digging gold by the ton
Laboring for everyone-else is not fun

I made a visit to a traditional Chinese herbal doctor for my constipation.
The old physician said:
“Take snake gourd and you should be 10 pounds lighter at the next consultation.”

One by one
He releases them to fly away
Bows to the crowd
Walks out into the night
Lights up his corn pipe
