As if Art 10/13 VN

As if art is good
at what it is.
As if bad was all
the rage.
And evil is doing
what it does next.
As if over
some itch.
And these purple flowers,
shadowy scratch-
pasted to this scabbed up wall.
With all the rainy karaoke
our world could ever want.
As if your colors
are to root for.
And the mud is so deep.
So wet.
It keeps the elbows dancing.

Moisture 10/13 VN

Moisture holds
the dust down.
To leave
one day       hello.
Hellooo    hellooooo
The indigo stains all ages.
And crows feet cradle
young mother's eye.
Time is worth nothing
at least very little     here.
History is never   at cost.
You can't pay it away.
And who you meet
And who you learn
Can make it hurt   hard.
Justice is stupid  like
so many words.
It's basically and barely
no longer.
