Listening to Ambient Music and Writing Quatrains

I like Quatrains
they're similar to haiku in that
they make use of bracketing and limits
it makes for an artful artifact on the page

Preparing a perfectly cooked omelette
is a lot harder than it looks
to get that dandelion yellow lifted custard
takes years and burns and insults thrown like hot pans

There is hair all over the place
the hairs keep getting longer over here
it has something to do with the psyche
when the feelings really learn to reach out

I've long been fascinated by the use of technology to make art
how the computers make the making of most things possible
even for the little guy without a studio or a global economy
But then there are those years you just want a pencil

There's another universe out there
where the grand canyon is a just a tiny hole
and the Earth is just a tiny little bubble in a tiny marble
in a tiny school in a tiny town in a rural county of the greatest state
