And now come the trapeze endowments

Filaments of an invisible thread that landed suddenly

Snapdragons that speak

In their own terms, not to be understood

But physically arranged in harmonies

 

A brick with its imported frog

A magic grinding stone

 

 

remnants of a river long gone and its flows

dykes and landings where barrels rolled

rusted red eye rivets

charred staves and jungle parrots

screaming

vines of scarlet Bougainvillea with Elegant Women

steaming, rolling on the river

big wheel churning and gambler Jack at the green

roulette table

stride piano – yes!

old guy stuff that's youth with no tomorrow

the flying trapeze, parrots screaming, gold coins rippling, riffling     octaves

eight to the sand bar

 

 

then the eye of the hurricane

silence without meaning

before it fell off its stool

 

 

a red brick

the small concrete frog

found in a forgotten corner and salvaged in its old guy value

white concrete, worthless

paint weathered in years beyond any trace

bone survivor now in its grainy shape

the orange tree fence frog croakless sphinx

its unseen terms of reality an agenda always on

operating in the wholeness

it always is

 

 

the project rises

in its own terms

backyard jungle steaming

dove parrots playing mime seed wars on robins

smoke filtered air filling summer's drought disaster

the Mobile Weather Lab, Paul Deanno's Change

reporting reality on location

Big Bee sucking in lavender honey

god's country, Birdland, Santa Clara

Silicon Electron Valley with its brand new stadium

pumping, pumping fiat dollars, traffic, green house gasses, the 

    forgotten agenda

Voter's Choice 2016: Stop The Endless Wars!

 

 

hood zephyr of my '57 Chevy truck

salvaged from Palo Alto's city dump in early Gardener days

its crazed green plastic wings

now lifting up a large blue translucent marble

out of snapdragons

and the ornament adapted with a bit of sprinkler pipe

fitted with a hose spigot

sending glorious laughter aloft and heard

by those with eyes to

-- yes!
