ROPING THE WIND


he set out to rope the wind.
and he did; a rampaging gust
of wind came raging along.

and he roped it, and that wind
drug him to hell and back.
finally, he gave up; let go the rope.

and rope and wind were gone.
when she found out, she said:
that's it! I'm gone! and off she went;

chased down that raging wind,
beat that wind into submission,
gathered up the rope, went on home.

hand him the rope, she said:
There! That's how it's done!
geez! I married a wimp!


demeanor of such a ragged
mentality bent individual
shakes very core, what

humanity is all about.
yet, potential remains
for long stress free love

 affair between hockey stick
and will worn baseball bat.
winner take all.


crazy is a doorknob with
no door to open or close.
as is a poet with
no words to pose.

sign of the times:
in the space of about a year,
Rapid City has lost Sears, Kmart,
Herberger's, Toys R Us, and Shopko.
so much unemployment.

no one makes a living on minimum wages,
 Congress worries over foreign affairs,
while this country sinks closer to the abyss. 


do not believe in senselessness
without a whips and chains.
it is those chains and whips
making sense out of senselessness,
providing us with some
 sensational entertainment.
whoopee!!!!


from here, appears winter will last
well into July; possibly August;
depending whether February
will give up its hold on us.
and why the hell is February 
so damned angry?
