PETER RICHARDS (7/13)
Mars! Mars! Mars!
& we’re bouncin’ off the walls!
& Peter Rich’ll teach ya which,
You beach- & basketballs!
You beach- & basketballs!
—Ya slam ’em in the net.—
HELL sinky, kinda kinky
Key to oubliette.
Umma-gumma yes ma’am,
Umma-gumma no.
Here’s the siren, Keats and Byron,
Tie! it’s time to go.
Guy, it’s time to go!!
We’re bouncin’ off the walls!!
Peter Rich’ is forty-six,
You beach- & basketballs.
Peter Rich’ is forty-six,
You beach- & basketballs.

Goethe's Nightsong
--Wandrers Nachtlied (1780)
Over the hills
Comes the quiet.
Across the treetops
No breeze blows.
Not a sound: even the small
Birds in the woods
are quiet
Just wait: soon you
Will be quiet, too.
from New and Selected Poems by David Lehman

THE RULE OF THUMB
by T.P.Winch
Ringfinger was nervous
Pinky terrified
when they learned
that Hand might succumb
to the rule of Thumb.
