Art by John James Audubon


"’Neotenty’ is ‘remaining young,’ and it may be ironic that it is so little known, because human evolution has been dominated by it." --Tom Robbins, Still Life with Woodpecker


Poem Artwork



You crazy red heads
...always knocking up the dead!
Knock, knock yourselves out!

Was Lennon addressed?
On beetle beats, "Imagine". . .
Pileated race

On wings, black and white . . .
"Come Together", Woodpeckers
Let the order live!

Life, back to dead pines . . .
Everything hears your cackles!
Pause . . .Let's hear him sing!

A fine tribute to the pileated woodpecker; let us hope it does not go the way of the ivory-billed woodpecker. Nicely done, Kimmy. Love and best wishes,

Still [life] can't read Japanese fine art, but thanks for bringing us those Beatles and nerve -wrackingly beautiful hammer heads.

That Van Kooten jag, rag, spin, turn, woodpeckers - and I see lots of them here - will fly different after this.
