Ode to the Aspens
My blood-filled heart pumps with love and admiration for these tall trees, for they speak to me, the only truth I have ever known

Thoughts from a Desert Highway
Damn the fool who kneeled here and whispered “wasteland” through cracked lips!

Extenuating Circumstances
At last, I laugh; I laugh at suffering, I laugh at insignificance, I laugh at my own ignorance.
