AMAZE

Cindy Tebo

Battle at Fort Davidson

into
wild blue yonder
soldiers hit by grenades
how can a war ever be called
civil

Mo says

Taum Sauk*
you're a bit short
for a mountain but you're
within my reach and easy to
talk to

*highest point in Missouri

Damn Physics

today
when an acorn
fell on my head I cursed
the Newton in nature and all
that drops

Electrolux vs The Grim Sweeper

Death does
not always knock
like a salesman selling
vacuums. It can rob you without
a sound
