Two poems by Lawrence Gladeview
for Albert Camus and the Alger-Republicain
a congressional dome
italian marble melanin
gold-trimmed perpendicular polygons
a trinity of circular lights circumvent
seated ceiling crusaders
citizen mob cries of disfavor and inclusion
seven blocks south, an amateur mother nurses
cries of necessity and endearment
when father returns home
gold-trimmed perpendicular polygons
extinguished.
===================
“That Friend”
jesus took me
fishing last
saturday
all morning, he
went on and on
about the art
of fishing
how to double
bait the claw
tackle, gauge
the wind, and
patiently hunt
the murky shallows
after an hour
of preaching,
i reluctantly
conceded his
channel-molded
fiberglass
bass tracker
was superior.

gold-trimmed perpendicular polygons...clever and intriguing, as always. Keep up the great work. Fishing with Jesus, now there's a concept!berries3
I wish I could read this. Who puts a black font on a dark blue background?
sorry you cannot read it, david, but the background is a light purple on my browser, and is perfectly readable from there. maybe try a different browser? i have not had any other complaints, or i would switch it...
