How to be a Horse
Get on your knees like a big
footed donkey. Clap the floor with our
hooves. You start trotting around
the place like a red headed zombie.
Then lean up lean up to rear a horse. Then
whip it to speed it up like
a non-tame lion

The Weird Sun
The sun is under the ground
and the sun waters the roots of the plants.
Sometimes I go under the ground and suntan.

Balloon, Chicago
If balloons were Chicago,
they would rise high in the night sky.
Leaving behind strong gust of wind.
An ascending reminder in the sky,
for everyone on the go.
The bright yellow balloon would shine in the sky,
like a bright light in the dim.
The whistle of the balloon rising,
is music to my ears.
Hoping the reminder of love and compassion never descends,
because this is the brightness of Chicago.
Rise up!

Way Home
The store so crowded
People grabbing cats
The crispy fruit was put in the cart first and now is on its way home.

I am not a large star
The sun medium size star
the sun orange shiny
woods are green foggy filled with trees
there is only one star in the universe
