Finishing
.
goodbye april
is no reason to be alarmed
hello may may be a shock
get used to it
it’s not rocket science
some people have seen it
a hundred times
or more
what is a lifetime
of changes
that consistently happen
pages turning
with predictable regularity
upon finishing
line after line
constantly yearning
to know what’s around
the next bend
binging adulthood
with insatiable indulgences
asking for seconds
politely
then clearing the table
without being asked
and excusing oneself
forever

Words
.
If there were words
that would stop political corruption
what would they be?
If there were words to end unethical behaviors
what would you say?
If there were words
that could end climate catastrophes
would anyone listen?
If there were words
that teach how to think critically
would all people be learning?
If there were words
to eliminate corporate greed
would shareholders allow it?
If there were words
written about love
could they convey the full feeling?
If there were words
more important than mass media
how would they ever be heard?
