Smith is good with words
(all write)
and Art—with conversation,
Gabby’s gift is mainly
–discourse and oration. . .
Cathy likes to chat
(too much)
while Miles keeps the minutes,
Abel will debate the bull–
with doctors if they spin it
Simon’s prone to say
(it’s said)
all those on stage will whisper
but twisted—I—will scream and shout,
to lookie-loos and listeners. . .

the grave
won’t find me
–ever bind me
pristine to its shroud…
I’ll go all bruised
–and scarred, I choose
to live my life out loud.
My legs off-road
my hands just holds
for fishing poles or Frisbees
my arms reach high
to catch that fly
but chances are it missed me.
Diana’s eye
is mine
when I
fit a bow to shaft
the bull is
→→pierced→→
with eyesight fierce
a vision before draft.
I’m ATV
~with cage~
but
*free*
skip stones–I never roll ’em,
I bike terrain
extreme, but tame
a fearless, try-it, woman.
No way
I’m goin’
taggin’ to’in’
any unused parts
I’ll play my hardest
’til the stardust
claims me
back
to
Art.
