Roller Coaster Rides (highs and lows, anticipation and disappointment, sharp corner turns and straightaways,
rush of excitement and moments of fear, sense of accomplishment and reluctant relief when the ride's over).[/b]

An Organ Grinder with Monkey (picture the daily hand cranking of an out of tune hurdy gurdy street organ
by a well intentioned yet tone deaf performer, grinding out the same old single song over and over again...
while chained to a petite monkey performing tricks and collecting coins from passersby in a small tin cup).

Pine Cones
Perhaps some page one internet bulletin board threads
occasionally assume a few marginal human attributes
as they wait with ceremonious impatience for validation,
as if a postman may deliver an unexpected perfumed gift
or some invincible puppy love phone will finally ring.
Those on page two and beyond accept their altered status
and understand that going well behind all known moons
in an orbit equating with benign, if not merciful, neglect
is nothing more or less than the essence of the scheme.
Somewhere in a slightly less fictitious corner of the planet
a sheaf of ancient love letters smiles comfortably numb,
unaware of being relegated to the top drawer of a dust
laden bureau in a lakefront summer cabin, where a white
boat with blue trim is innocently dry-docked and the casual
stillness broken only by reluctant pine cones still falling.
