"No More Condos" and Other Short Poems

  "No More Condos"    Wear a Condom! No more Condos/ No more Forests being Bulldozed./No more Birds or Beasts must Die./ No more High-rise buildings nigh.../ Fewer Bush-electing Snobs/ A lot less for Construction Mobs./ With our Climate, Roll the Dice./ We have lost our Paradise./ Why did we make this Sacrifice?
     
"Animal Lover"    People I can take or leave. [My] Animal(s) tug at my sleeve. "Feed me. Love me. Take me out. Give me water. Please don't shout." If I had to 'Put Her Down'. [Euthanize my pet.] The Grief would take me out of town.

"Cryonic"    When I fall Dead place me in  'Cryo'/ Freeze me Stiff, I don't want to Die-o.../ The Frozen Dead, without a Head; Forever Asleep in a Cryogenic Bed./ If they ever get Revived,/ We won't Believe that they're Alive...

"Sticks and Stones"     "Sticks and Stones" can you know what,/ "But names can never hurt you". [?]  What a Goddamned Lie!  Verbal Abuse can Stress you out and make you want to Die.

"C.S.I."     Chalk outline on the Ground./ The Murder Victim makes no Sound./ [Her] Circulation cut off from being bound./ On her Blood she nearly Drowned.../Bloodhounds sent all round and round./ The Perpetrator'(s) never found.
