Youth, when health is last and play is first
believes we’re made of stainless steel
and never worried how we’d feel,
but age begs don’t make my back worse.</-Lynne

The Pats did drop their last ditch pass
and I was glad the Giants won,
but football is not as much fun
while play is first and health is last.

Vast place, light bulbs, closed sky, hard grass
under the dome of an oil drum,
we watched Giants in Colt kingdom
force the Pats to drop their last pass.

I long for sunshine on my face,
hot sand scorching my heels with heat,
waters to wade lapping my feet,
sun light, blue skies, soft sand, my place.

when winter skies are overcast.
Spring breezes surely come full blast
but summer seems too far to wait.

Cold winter escapes do create
old memories of summer sun,
but thoughts of warm sand are no fun
and feel distinctly second rate.

Clean homes are not nature’s landscapes.
Stack a pile of broken branches
in your garden for the finches
to create cold winter escapes.

Soap and rags and bleach and brooms just

I interrupt this mess of guts
to announce my sister’s birthday.
Many good thoughts I send your way
because, Schatzi, gifts cost too much.
The mess in one’s gut is the clean
of the whole digestive process.
A gut’s bad smell signals success
and cleansing disrupts it’s hygiene.

Wealth when given to fruits and nuts
rests not on the truth of a claim,
for health surely is always gained
by cleansing the mess in one’s guts.
