Click hereDISCIPLINE

He couldn't have a doughnut, and it made him very mad;
He undertook to get revenge by screaming at his dad.

"Cut out that noise!" I ordered, and he gave another roar,
And so I put him in "the room" and shut and locked the door.

I left him in his prison cell two minutes, just about,
And, penitent, he smiled at me when I did let him out.

But when he got another look at the forbidden fruit
He gave a yell that they could hear in Jacksonville or Butte.

"Cut out that noise!" I barked again. "Cut out that foghorn stuff!
Perhaps I didn't leave you in your prison long enough.

"You want your dad to keep you jailed all afternoon, I guess."
He smiled at me and answered his equivalent for "yes."

Lost
LOST

I read a book, I write a letter,
I go to you, we talk.
These things are all equally dear to me;
I can just as well do without them.

Spring outside is damp and warm,
But not that wild miracle
When I wanted to leave, cool and alone;
Now I can just go without.

I thought I was born on the beach,
and that my house was in the dunes.
All that has long been lost,
Now I feed seagulls in my garden.

For What It’s Worth

There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware
I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind
I think it's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
What a field-day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly say, hooray for our side
It's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
You step out of line, the man come and take you away
We better stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, now, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

Bonus Poem:

The Song in the Dream

The song itself had hinges. The clasp on the eighteenth-century Bible

had hinges, which creaked; when you released the catch,

the book would sigh and expand.

The song was of two wholes joined by hinges,

and I was worried about the joining, the spaces in between

the joints, the weight of each side straining them.
