war between words

ant
bed
crumbs
gold
field
sheets
attack!
retreat...
chase
door
hole
gone.

.........

spider
with 7 legs -
feisty!

........

feeling good
is nine tenths
of life.

............

go to sleep
dream about Buddha;
wake up
mow the lawn.

..........

shimmering
in noon sun,
a dozen bottle flies -
dead toad.

..........

time disappears
like snow
in a campfire.

............

in order to realize
this moment
turn off babbling brook
retract antennae
merge with zero.
if zero says "hello"
start over.
