space shuttle explodes,
impending war in iraq:
life is no picnic
driving with saddam
i motor past rocky flats
my gauge on 'empty'
jeeps on frozen lake
tempt fate in february
spinning in circles
on snow sculpture day
the sun hastens the demise
of precious artwork
blocks of snow melting-
should have made the adjustment
for global warming
the ultimate test
of a priceless work of art
is if it can melt
popcorn aroma
circles fantastic castles
and bottles of beans
melting art-worth it?
traveling two hundred miles
for haiku-worth it?
steel blue and white fire
frozen flickers of hoar ice
flames melt in the sun
the best snow sculpture
was by a bunch of children
who turned fire to ice
frozen flames emerge
from an icy blue campfire
alchemical art
once in breckenridge
i stop thinking about war
for a few moments
not disappointed
that the the february sun
destroys some art
another guy limps
and reminds me of the way
i have been walking
a hokey ski town
hosting a hokey art show
how hokey is that?
unfortunately
no ice sculptures of saddam
and george bush fighting
yes, i used gas
to drive up to breckenridge
to document art
the gas that i used
to document art
is gone, like the art
