give the desired output

stripes of light across

tables, showing dusty air,

autumn state of mind

of the garden reserved just

old man of the woods

swings through the jungle alone

rememb’ring fire

#22

the low level light

in the swimming pool hall makes

you feel it’s still new

like it’s 1968

and you aren’t dressed right at all

#724

how are animals

eaten by the tarmac when 

nothing lives on it?

#723

the poor old fox corpse

the fox stopped being poor when

the fox became dead

#21

the spiral staircase

always working your way up 

it’s never easy

but like a snail’s shell you will

keep growing and evolving

#722

cats triangulate

the good the bad the ugly

Mexican standoff

#721

is a war taking

place across the campus grounds

as three cats square up

#720

three cats sat staring

not daring to make a move

triangle of fear

#719

three cats cornering

an area none will cross

each waiting their chance

ghosts wander wonder

while the living run free

with ikigai hearts

finally got one -

a summer afternoon that's

worthy of the name;

of course I'm inside cleaning,

cowering from the pollen.

finally got one

a summer afternoon that's
