to start the day
porridge with banana
enables strength
on the way to the tram
an apple in my hand

The #apple of our
Eyes grows ever larger as
Days get longer and
#Fruits outside cease to blossom-
Pumpkins rotting in the frost.

started a tech zealot cult
i form, mac function, worshipped
each release rapture greated
addiction: but at what cost

a ripe persimmon
resting in a blue bowl
the morning sun
wakes me from a dream
of you feeding me fruit

To a Friend Whose Work Has Come to Nothing BY WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS Now all the truth is out, Be secret and take defeat From any brazen throat, For how can you compete, Being honor bred, with one Who were it proved he lies Were neither shamed in his own Nor in his neighbors' eyes; Bred to a harder thing Than Triumph, turn away And like a laughing string Whereon mad fingers play Amid a place of stone, Be secret and exult, Because of all things known That is most difficult.

Fox peered around my house once
First I froze at the mailbox
Then we went separate ways
