Fantasy Tour

Let's take a trip,
Just you and I,
On a Mobius strip.
I'll tell you why:
It's a fun-filled ride
Round and about
On a singular side --
No in, no out.
We'll repeat each day
With never a doubt.
We cannot stray --
Not thereabout.
Whatever we do,
Each fabulous view
We'll see anew
Is deja, deja, deja vu.

walking on dream feet

down a long dream street
I peer in shop windows
at baubles not there
hear the rattle of dishes
from phantom restaurants
pause to pat
an imaginary dog

UFO

Dropped ice cube
slides across kitchen floor
into corner cobweb
Spider rushes to fix web
pauses perhaps puzzled
by invasion of Unidentified
Frozen Object

Musing in the Museum

Eyeless
tongue-less
the skull in the glass case
reminds us
of our history
and our destiny
