Two Poems

Trail’s End

It brings whole new eras
Of confidence to people

Because if they can do this
Then they know they can do anything

Absolutely anything
All you have to do is believe
Practice a little bit
And off you go

There, all kinds of little limbs
And you really could take a lot of time

And put just hundreds of little limbs
Little tiny rascals that live everywhere

And it’s gorgeous
Here on TV we have this mean old director
And if I go past thirty minutes
She has no sense of humor at all

So we’ll try to get this done in time
But when you’re doing yours take your time

Put a lot of limbs on here
Put a little squirrel in there
Put a pea pod in there
Put a little bird in there

Any old thing that you want
Any old thing that you want
We don’t care here we’ll do any old thing

Maybe there’s an old dead one hanging right there
Rurururururuururrrr
That’s what my squirrel would say
That gives you an idea of what you can do

You could spend a lot of time
Just putting on tree limbs and stuff
And it’s gorgeous

Maybe there’s some little duders here
Maybe there’s a whole line of em that go back
All we have to do is get em in dark here
Let’s get crazy

Let’s go in here. Maybe there’s the remains
Of an old fence here. Maybe it’s really a ragged old fence
Maybe it comes around sorta like that.

Stream

I like to make bushes
Just to show how easy it is to create
Some of these illusions.

Maybe there’s a tree that lives right in there
Maybe he died. Nothing but his old skeleton hanging around.
But he still has a place in nature. Just to pull everything together.
