siren & lights on…”

something’s flying out
the driver’s window…”

mostly 100-Guilt bills,
also 50-Greed notes,
with some 20-Hypocrites
and Ten-Liars.”

crossed the border
into BadKarmaLand
and escaped out of the reach
of human punishment.”

(Back in ’12 they celebrated the success of
the proton-colliding experiment beneath the

– It’s just a particle of me,
but hey, what the heck!

-There are days of autumn
in which the leaves
go on strike
and refuse to fall.
-No one knows the reason –
during those days
the trees are said to be
“No-fly zones.”
-One leaf that violated
the rule was exiled
to a compost heap,
where it’s said
it became despondent
and died of self-inflicted
biodegration.
