*Sara Hayden* Girl In Gren
Having
No
Room
Yet
For
Regret,
I roll
Along
Sustained
By
Fragments
Of
Song
And
Can’t
Go
Wrong
Admiring
Lines
Written
By
Great
Minds.
Just
Let
Me
Be,
In
A
World
Where
I am
Free.

When
The
One
You
Adore
Walks
Out
The
Door,
Don’t
Be
Scared,
She
Declared.
Let
It
Slam
And
Refuse
To
Give
A
Damn.
If
A
Man
Doesn’t
Care,
Swear,
And
Go
On.
The
Day
Will
Dawn
When
The
Rascal
Learns
That
Bridges
Have
Burned,
And
There’s
No
Way
For
Rats
To
Return.

*Bryce Brown*
Music
Was
Playing,
People
Were
Swaying
To
A
Tune
On
The
Order
Of
Cole
Porter.
The
Afternoon
Was
New,
And
So
Were
You,
And
Before
The
Dance
Was
Through,
I knew.

Sunday,
And
I have
Not
A
Thing
To
Say.
Rain
Dulls
The
Sun
And
Our
Two
Days
Of
Spring
Are
Gone.
Please,
Nature,
Take
Another
Tack,
And
Bring
Them
Back.

My
Dear
Friend
Longs
To
Get
Away
From
The
Tiresome
Everyday,
Ongoing
Chores
Such
A
Bore,
Getting
Up
And
Going
To
Bed,
An
Endless
List
In
Her
Head,
The
Dogs,
The
Car.
I try
To
Say
That’s
How
Things
Are.
Myself,
I do
The
Dance
Of
Constant
Maintenance,
Rise
At
Six
And
Amble
Forth
To
Gamble
I can
Fix
Whatever's
Needed
To
Put
My
Life
In
Place
In
The
Face
Of
Ruin
And
Rue,
Because
There’s
Little
Else
To
Honorably
Do.

*Michael Parkes*
Who
Among
Us,
Full
Of
Pride,
Hides
The
Leopard
Living
Inside?
The
Daily
Task
To
Adjust
The
Mask,
Conceal
The
Spots,
The
Tawny
Dots,
And
Not
Reveal
The
Claws
Of
Steel.

*Picasso* Woman By The Sea
Here,
A
Picture
By
The
Master,
White
Paint
In
Folds
Like
Liquid
Plaster.
She
Sits,
Not
Quite
There,
On
An
Invisible
Chair,
Top
Heavy,
Limbs
That
Don’t
Quite
Fit,
Against
A
Sky
That
Doesn’t
Quit,
Pensive
Before
A
Stroke
Of
Sea,
Waiting
For
Eternity.

Tulip
Nubbins
Break
Through
The
Ground,
Frost
Still
All
Around.
In
The
Brief
Winter
Sun,
Flowers
Have
Begun.
Although
Warmth
Is
Thin,
Nature
Knows
Exactly
When
To
Bear
Precious
Blossoms
Everywhere.

*Woman With White Rose* 70" H X 28" W Oil On Linen
Sun
Rays
Cut
Into
My
Day
As
If
To
Say,
Let’s
Run
Away.
The
Daily
Chore
Is
Such
A
Bore,
And
Never
Through,
So
What
To
Do
But
Get
My
Hat
And
Leave,
Just
Like
That.

*Conflict* Assemblage 5 1/4" H X 6 7/8" W X 7" D Cocobolo Base
What
Is
It
All
For,
This
Endless
War?
Men
Say
For
Peace,
And
Release
A
Thousand
Missiles
Of
Death
To
Stop
The
Breath
Of
Brothers
They
Despise,
Fill
The
Air
With
Patriotic
Lies
And
Decimate
Others
They
Hate.
And
To
What
End?
Let
A
Decade
Pass,
And
Here
Comes
The
Enemy
Again,
And
No
One
Will
Ever
Win.
