Ollie and Marion
Winners and losers
Selling their wares
Of lies and deceit
Snake oil

Used car salesmen
Bought by corporate police
Lock, stock, and barrel
Tweaked by special interests
Boneless chickens

Pornographic lawmakers
Trust at your own risk
Tongues wag
Tails you lose
Politics as usual

Got what we paid for
Father figure on stage
In a theatre of the absurd
Styrofoam popcorn
Eaten alive

Big bang quarks fly
Through objects large and small
Nonchalent in their quest
To get somewhere

Elephants and ants coexist
They rarely cross-pollinate
A fault of physics
Or their physiques

Smaller than an atom
Bigger than the sun
It matters not
What matter does

Godzilla meets Bambi
Yet atoms do not smash
They simply rearrange
Without concern

Cat steps
Two, three, forward
Pause at times
Kitty paws
Claw at breathing toy
Six, seven, ate alive

Stop action
No remorse

Pads stride
Driven by instinct

Next destination
Sleep

Off to Peru
Folding light years
In his pocket
Arriving unscathed

The Traveler
Passed us by
Without a trace
Here, gone, forever

Behind the fourth dimension
A door to another life
Unlocked by this
Timeless wanderer

His quest, his secret
The universe, his domain
Between molecules
He flies unobserved

Temps are up
A degree or two
A world of difference
A different world

Dark shadows
Echo silence
Beneath the yearning
Of our home

Fear not
This fragile planet
Can withstand
More than we know

Order from chaos
A new utopia ushered in

Gaia reborn
A perfect surface

Lucid air
Placid water

Peace
