" 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...
