Cleaning- The scrubbed stars Took all day Like a tub in an old room. Bodies- Now look, a shipwreck of lights Equal to the theater of the universe. Adjectives- Battered, folded Into paper planes Like the unlikely Waist of a green Apple. That’s When I Reach for my Revolver Record- I am looking for a verse. I am standing by the sea, whistling a Saturday morning cartoon theme. I gather a few juxtapositions. Wonder, awe, fear, dissolution, realignment. I am starting a blog of the photos I collect of sidewalk cracks. Don’t Forget- Along with immense size, How infinitesimal the universe is Would make a haiku blush.
These are great. I particularly enjoyed “Bodies,” and the last line of “Don’t Forget,” was the perfect ending. Well done!

For an instant you flashed me back to my Beatle days. I remember seeing an interior wall of a room in some magazine, where an entire wall was muraled with the Revolver album cover. I like your groups of mini poems.

Is that a Pegboy reference?

Hi Andy, good to hear from you again. It’s not a Pegboy reference. That’s When I Reach For My Revolver is a Mission of Burma song. And I stuck on Record at the end to reference the Beatles. But thanks for bringing up Pegboy, it’s been awhile since I thought of them.
