Swinging In Africa

out of place here, out of place hair
in vogue in Africa, way I wear my beard

bushes full of cheetahs, monkeys, chimpanzees

Pearly Gates

pearls before swine
I fling

like bowling balls, let them roll
I have plenty pearls to spare

like leaves in autumn
which fall from trees

like flower petals,
dropping similarly
for passers-by to walk upon
to trample in mud
