John Bennett: 2 Poems - Small Press Friday

Hunting & Gathering
           ~ John Bennett

Time to
go berry
picking &
hang the
scalps from
this week's
kill up
to dry.

John Bennett is the periodic reminder I need to pay attention in a very different way than my hippie-ass mentality 'normally' does.


Shaping Up for Enlightenment
                         ~ John Bennett

     It's important
     not only
     to have
     no expectations
     it's important
     to steer
     clear of
     things that
     are the
     result of
     expectations.
 


Right brain, left brain, no brain - let's cover the waterfront.

frost kills the grass
the coaxing voice
of a crow

slips so cleverly...
spring rain
