A Few Little Poems

Railroad Track
Steel rails not
straight but curled
with curvature
of the turning world.

*****

Wire
Wire comes from a ten
mile spool wound by faceless
men who toil ceaseless
as the coil itself as
circles are continual

*****

Wine Glass
It’s dishonest to appear
so bulbous yet so thin.
O crystal vessels of evening time-
hold it!  Hold it in.

*****

Lighter
Cheap, broken plastic.  Yet
someone desires you;
one who seeks the flame but
not the sleek, nor the new.
