Rogue on the Road to Rhode Island
(departure:8AM)

Don programmed the GPS for 13 Sherman St.Newport,RI.
It calculated we would arrive at 12:38PM
But we skittered through Mass on the toll road,
And the robot continued to steer us back to the country routes.

It calculated we would arrive at 12:38PM
But, using the toll road, we parked at 11:24!
Speed limit on I90 was 65mph; in Conn: 30mph!

But we skittered through Mass on the toll road
First E, then N, then E;the robot voice ignored.
She never voiced her rage; calmly plotted on.

And the robot continued to steer us back to the country routes
U turns, hills, a satellite view from the clouds;
And we, like arrows, found our mark, stealthily on the ground.

Can you wear his hat?
Mountain bike like that?

Skateboard, build, and climb?
Stop upon a dime?

Struggle through a maze?
Triumph in a haze?

Clean the mess?
Imagine, guess?

Bunker?
Spelunker?

Little caveman
Crevice climber
Squeeze your sinews
Hiking higher.

Grasp the crannies
Scratch the surface
Twist the tendons
Fingers, fists.

Heave the basket
In your teeth
Raise your muscles
Sculpt relief.

Head o’er heels
Down the stairs
Bow at bottom
To wide stares!

AGILE

Agile
I was reading Michael Mc Donald’s take on Sandy Recovery from the New Yorker Magazine (Jan 7,2013):
It’s the fragile, agile networks that make a difference …
It’s the horizontal relationships like the ones we’re building that create security on the ground,
not the hierarchical institutions.

AGILE

Oliver is not yet two.
He’s fragile.
But agile.

Poppa says:
“You’re tired, Buddy.”

He reclines.
Snug
Horizontal.
Fills the step.

Sleeps now.
Climbs later.
Agile.

Wood now.
Pillow later.
Agile.

Grins
A satisfied smile.
Agile.

SELF-CARE@72 YEARS OF AGE

Selfportrait2
Keep the baby dry and fed.
Hold and clean
Breathing free.

Nurse the baby warm abed
Stroke and oil
Moisture be.

Wash and fold; clothe and wrap
Fresh and new
Menagerie.

At each sun-up, start anew:
Wash and clean and fold and cook.
Nurse that baby; keep her fed,
Warm and clean within her bed.

Taking care of baby will
Be taking care of you!
