Baseball Haiku - Maybe The Is Season Turning Around?

Balloons to explode

No easy way to describe

Yankees seem alive

Heartsong

When each day

How many days was that?

I would leave walking to work

still half-asleep

I never noticed the empty-

eyed windows staring at me

the pupils long faces

with silver-haired coronas

like sunsets watching me

Watching an early-morning ship

outbound for a years-long voyage

And at the time I didn't

realize the breeze rushing

me down the street

was the collective sigh

of house-bound faces

still wishing to go to sea

We're All Dinosaurs

My love

When the dust cleared

The sky no longer opaque

After a global light switch

Had simply shut off

The world changed

Today, the How is still argued

Cosmic? Seismic? Biologic?

All the above?

All at once?

"What's that? A bone? And here

See, a footprint in limestone."

Dear Sirs:
 

It has come to my attention

your recent shipment of leafy greens

was much too sandy [stop]
 

Please rectify as you otherwise
have an excellent product [stop]

 

Looking forward to my annual

visit to La Brea [stop]

[blah blah blah

. . . munch munch munch]

Sincerely yours

J.R. Thunderlizard

My love

The world has changed

And it has not

It changed when you were born

It changed again when I met you

Light switches left & right went 

On & off

Off & on
Yesterday today tomorrow

And see, here

A birthday history is imbedded

The handprint in stone is yours
