Purple painted tree

Upon having a Bush sticker move in next door

One must move on.
Past violation.
The last redoubt I have:

My home.

Past violation to deviltry.
Thus is revolution born.
Life is never easy.
Disregard all barriers.

Save what you can.

Painted tree

Old Paint
"My paintings are my children."
Fool!
An artist with no babies.
She'd surely sell
if the price was met.
How glib to deign
my life's loves
equal only to her painted panels.
It's true, my part in them
is uninspired:
Brute work like stretching canvas.
Masterworks of their own volition,
they move,
followed by my eye with hot delight.
