LIKE A DINOSAUR ...
Like a dinosaur
in a chicken coup
I've been cooped up too long
Like an elephant
in a tea shop
something is wrong
Like an elephant
in a chicken coup
something is wrong
Like a dinosaur
in a tea shop
what's going on?
Something is wrong
Wrong for the chickens
They don't like it one whit
Wrong for the elephant
She doesn't like chicken shit
And the chickens don't like
the elephant
the dinosaur
the invasion
Something is wrong
What's going on?
Wrong for the elephant
stuck in a coop
Wrong for the chickens
their coop's been abused
They squawk and
they flutter
They head
way up high
drop chicken shit
on the elephant
who's stuck inside
Time for a change
Not for the chickens
They like the coop
Not for the tea shop
except for
the dinosaur
the elephant
and the mess from their use
But time for the elephant
the dinosaur
to find
a home large enough
wide enough
big enough
kind enough
a home for their kind

A dozen
years ago,
I began to wake up
with word pieces -
words music, spoken word, songs -
in my head.
Escape velocity.
Echo of the echo.
Tank almost empty.
Can't cross the gap.
Welcome into my world.
LIFE POETRY
POEMS ABOUT LIFE
SPOKEN WORD POETRY
ON LIFE SIZE DINOSAURS
Life poetry
can be about
daily life
Life poetry
poems about life
life poems
can be about
the meaning of life,
the meaningless of life,
and what about living a life
that doesn't fit right -
being a dinosaur
or elephant
or giraffe or polar bear
in a space for a good-sized fly
Spoken word poetry
spoken poetry
about life
is poetry about anything to do with life
and that is often, these days,
about life lived in cramped quarters -
life cramped
Life poetry ...
is different for chickens
and dinosaurs
