Stirling Stork: A Poem
On the beach this week I’ve encountered Stirling Stork
who eats small fish with his beak and not with a fork
until this week I’d never seen a stork in real life
just saw it in drawings and photos so rife
with the explanation
that defied imagination
this is where babies come from
delivered by storks
over whose chimneys they come.
Such was the story to small children given
by parents whose thoughts were driven
by keeping childhood innocence alive
lost in an age where videos and commercials
are where profits intersect with the sexual drive.

The Pigeon Who Ate Manhattan
It was December the 21st
and people’s fears
were for the worst
as a giant pigeon
named Mountbatten
ate all of Manhattan.
Why weren’t we warned?
people cried
Before pigeon swallowed
and they died.
For you see my friend
at Manhattan’s end
it was the Mayan
who flunked math
having fallen asleep
in the bath
who designed that calendar
that once set the world aflur
but he missed the mark
by a hundred years
having drunk
a hundred beers
and December 21st 2112
came as a surprise
to New York’s jive and jell.

Haikus About The Age of Aquarius and Its Foreshadowing
The 1960s
rock musical Hair sees dawn
Aquarian Age
The summer of love
’67 in San Fran
flowers in their hair
The summer of death
’69 in LA means
there’s blood everywhere
Charles Manson decrees
Helter Skelter is now here
so Sharon Tate dies
August 9th four die
August 10th two die
Manson’s reign rains blood
The hippy era
from free love to bloody death
a dawn has gone wrong
This is the dawning
of the Age Aquarius
flowers bloom then wilt
Love followed by hate
flowers in hair gives way to
knives in hand below
The year 2012
some say Aquarian Age
has begun its run
Charles Manson figure
par excellence waits in wings
the dread Antichrist
