Than - 23

There once was a Boy
who cut his own hair,

I have seen him swim
in Canada bare.

His beliefs are courageous
and his friends are the best,

May your 23rd year
be filled with adventure
and zest.

Drove to Providence for nothing.
Boo Hoo Hoo.

A deer on the bike trail

I stepped off the bike trail
to watch the deer
about 30 feet away and
the most amazing thing happened.
Human endeavor,
the people on bikes,
roller blades
and running,
became time delayed exposure,
blurred by their motion into
a grey streaked stream
while the deer and I watched
each other.
