Gee-Whiz Moments

" Gee-Whiz Moments "

Gee-whiz moments
like emotional poems
bedazzled by pros
straight onto video

under stark strobes
of green yellow and red
in lengthwise rows

out in the open
if provoked
remaining motionless

finely windblown
burrowing
while feeding on mallows
sweat-soaked brows
morning workouts

drippy red spirals
rock climbing
blurring boundaries

slowing down
walking paths
shallow sand flats

throwing the hook
landing a gamefish
after spawning at sea

ridged gill openings
rocky reefs
bays and tidal creeks

flamethrowers for heat
both distancing
and enchanting

following leads
in terms of a neat
familial history

confounded by ideas
trundling around
in wheelbarrows
of colored plastics

combining risk
with a gift
for absurdity

appearing in films
along with inaccurate
indigenous descriptions
of untamed natures

like club-ended antennae
and golden eyes
with a reddish shine

attracted to lights
after midnight worldwide
hover fly...
