I like this one Boss!
You are a breath of fresh air.
We’ve all come to
This moment
To find out
Who we are.
Painted colors
Scribed words
Sweetly found.

Rockpiles

Collectors of rocks
are Neanderthal
and pose a threat
to all decent
Cave dwellers
grunted the Troll
with the biggest
rock pile of all.
…and so the wheel
was invented
with only one side
but two faces.

Hey boss, that little american boy would make a nice peace-making protest song...
As if some spirit of the 60's came back to check our world
…and so the wheel
was invented
with only one side
but two faces
.

And I like this part of its sequence very much...
...the lurking face of practically essential parts of real world...
