a sophisticated,
jet-setting
Mercedes-driving couple
sees my cheesehead,
my John Kuhn autographed Packers jersey,
my Wisconsin wool and leather letterman’s jacket,
and my Packers shopping bag
(filled with cheese
and summer sausage.)
They smile,
and then exclaim: “We like your style!”
Ja, hey!
I’m in Wisconsin,
aina?!?

Homage To The Moon, Setting: Revolutionary ImproVerse Free Verse Poem
It’s early morning./
The sun/
sleeps in./
In this winter farmland,/
he,/
lazy like me,/
has not yet shucked
his blanket.
But the moon,/
bright,/
woman-full
and luscious,/
works her way/
through cold/
spindly/
cottonwood-maple-willow/
tree fingers./
They reach skyward
to cup her/
and hold her/
and uphold her/
longer/
until Apollo/
can wake up.
