J.D. Nelson – 1 poem

In the age of computer toes

No king of the mountain
no baseball card puzzle

people straining to see the earth and its moon
arrowhead and zither

the creatures wither and moan
the ocean is ghost white now

earth the space planet
green martian gold

fritz your carp
grape that snazz.

J.D. Nelson – 1 poem

Goblins are earthlings, too

yes, there is a grackle causing trouble in the yard

carl on earth has a question:
yeah, why is it so cold and then hot down here?

you cannot eat the purple earth
this is the breakfast of triangles

smooth vial king of the kourt lateral happy ness
arm warms and cents of 70

I walked across the sun and never once looked up.
