Third Week of Poetry Class

 

 
The administrator announces his new initiative;
the sheep graze half asleep.

Bush orders another round for the house;
the drug of war intoxicates Americans.

My old house cries in pain as
the jack operator adjusts its spine. 

The old crow wears Columbo’s rumpled coat,
his young partner, a shiny black sheath.

My Yankee in-laws feast on
my Southern fried family.

The vultures swarm
for yard sale road kill.
