when constructing structures
from the bottom usque ad coelum
u gotta lay out a few lines
before quill & ink touches vellum
read a few signs
explore oddities
like kindness & love
those #precious commodities
there ain't enough of
that come & go quietly
like the flight of a dove

yeah you gotta watch
a bonny hand makin' time
modest as a crime
rotting fruit falls from the vine
yeah you gotta watch, use it

in this world of me me me
people with a mind that's free
that every time you see
are smilin' with glee
& make you feel like a VIP
truly define #bonny
like the mightiest oak tree
starts off as a nut with nowhere to be

A crew is hard at work tying the branches of almond trees. This is done to provide structural support and prevent branches from breaking under the weight of a heavy nut crop. It also "trains" the shape of young trees. #WeFeedYou

#bricks in #harmony with mortar
create a #lifeless wall
that only brings disorder
because it makes a border
not recognized by all
if the notion of prosperity
is bound by lock & key
& not available to u or me
we'll never experience harmony
in the land of the free

I never felt harmonious
at church
seemed a lil sanctimonious
so I still search
but there's poetry in the songs
with 4 part #harmony
I recall em
when worldly throngs
are harmin' me
they bubble in bongs
& ring from gongs
restoring, what I call, normalcy

A worker in a mango orchard
In order to protect the mango trees from moles in Coachella CA "Fidel" is applying castor oil-based repellents that moles hate the smell of. This is important as mole tunnels can expose young roots to air, causing the roots to dry out and destabilize the young trees. #WeFeedYou
Farm workers harvesting romaine lettuce
"Guillermo" is harvesting romaine lettuce in Maricopa CA. "This is a very difficult job. You need to work fast while you are continuously bending down and getting up and using a sharp knife to cut the lettuce." #WeFeedYou

lightning bugs with neon balls
light up Snoqualmie Falls
till they look like electric walls
I'm on the sidelines in overalls
watchin' it all
as the weather squalls
until the alarm clock & morning calls

Earlier this year I learned that, in rare cases, Cedar Waxwings have wax on the tips of their tail feathers (the typical place is on the wing tips.) I was delighted to recently find another Cedar Waxwing that had a couple of red waxy tips on the tail feathers.

I've held #lightnin' in my hand
call it static cling
for each other we'd stand
the world didn't mean a thing
lightnin' is sky borne
& sometimes starts fires
apple orange rose thorn
electricity inspires
a flash in the darkness transpires
then leaves us forlorn

mine was Frizzell & West

I got hurt trying to catch the giant Jose Quervo bottle, when Shelly west drop kicked it into the crowd.

at a bar that specialized in titty
the waitress perplexed me
& seemed kinda witty
she opened her waistband
so I'd see
tips go in the kitty
I didn't wanna dirty my hand
while still masticating
that's a pity
& I couldn't jive her
her bloomers were pretty
but not a natural fiber

after the knife stuck
2 more fell
they decided the pup
was a dog from hell
they wouldn't live to tell
how #lightning struck
from the bottom up
& the mighty fell
it's just as well
to drink from the saucer a spell
than to fuck
with an overflowin' cup
full o pell mell

there once was a man
named Sleepy Home
he couldn't read a word
but he could slang an oration
like it come from a tome
leavin' any crowd
#spellbound & stirred
he wasn't too loud
but his projection
went to the nosebleed section
& consumed em, like radiation
or sumthin they'd heard
#vss365
got dumbfounded #spellbounded confounded
& corners rounded
up next
crunchy or original
ask me how it sounded
like a reflex
mild spicy or provisional
buy 1 get the rest
cuz it's weighin' me down
surely you jest
or hucklebuck hound
well, I dun my best
spellbound

brow set crinkled
in concentration
sprinkled
with imagination
meandering through life
like a daydream
cutting rows in strife
the tiller gleams
dirty & resplendent
the earth screams
you are my dependent
the blade rises & wanders
around rooted tree
the tiller ponders
how it came to be
