Charles Helt Poems

need another device
electornic device
more wires please
charge my batteries
...

no war
is wrong
because always
we've had war
...

tall oak well formed
imperfectly sprouted
near other tall oak four times
scattered across pristine winter grass
...

with her life
privileged were
we entrusted
...

rock 'n rollin' now boys
his neatly cut freshly pressed suit
his perfect cherry wood desk
sharpened with corporate credentials
...

stiff and upright
smiling, jovial, and bouncy,
standing on the street sign barricade
propped up by grandpa standing
...
