lint

==

lint

of
the imaginary
kind lies almost everywhere
you choose to look:
it's

in
the Gulf at the
bottom of the sun-drenched sea,
it lies on the
arid

lemon
moon, abandoned
there by men long ago, and
at times it is
even

made
the target of over-
flying Predators in
Pakistan; so ...
if

you
should look long enough,
imagine hard enough, lint
of the ima-
ginary

sort
lies most every-
where you might want to look ...

fuzzy debris

Real or imagined, I wish the Gulf lint would absorb some of that gushing oil! To have seen our abandoned lemon moon from a distance only (yes, sometimes it does appear juicy yellow), I now ponder its lint with a glint. Fuzzy debris does lie everywhere, whether I'm looking or not, and now I worry a bit about the unseen (unnoticed?) kind. Your poems are great puzzles and brainy twisters, Chuck.

How ...

encouraging, the comments above. Make me want to write some more of ... whatever. Who knows what I might in future gather from my core---er, I mean navel. Note: The "Who knows ..." just above begins a strongly rhetorical question, which can take a period versus a question mark at its end. I think. Hope so, anyway. Regards, Chuck

eeeww

You just HAD to get the navel in there! And thanks for the period. To place an interrog, who knows HOW many responses/suggestions you might receive about gatherings from your core.!?
