So Much Depends

so much depends
upon

a red wheel
barrow

glazed with rain
water

beside the white
chickens.

--William Carlos Williams
~~~
so much depends
upon

a black cat
white

with green eyes
purring

grinning on my
shoulders.

***

so much depends
upon

one small book
wrinkled

thumbed and bent
corners

defaced with black
markers

***

so much depends
upon

gold and brown
coffee

in one tall
paper

vessel hot with
sugar
***

so much depends
upon

a blue dog
barking

run through grass
river

splashing in the
puddles.
***

so much depends
upon

a wide bed
springy

with clean sheets
flannel

pillows primed for
fighting
***

so much depends
upon

notes keys and
pedals

sit and play
nevermind

chromatic chords and
melodies
***

so much depends
upon

words with some
meaning

to tell a
story

without an end
beginning
***
so much depends
upon

a web site
network

are they still
together

friendship at our
fingertips
***

so much depends
upon

a cell phone
ringing

who is it
calling

hello don't say
goodbye
***

so much depends
upon

girls in blue
tumbling

down dark holes
curiouser

eating a shroom
shrinking

****

so much depends
upon

a blue box
throbbing

who is there
doctor

allonsy! lets go
anywhere
***

so much depends
upon

a stone gate
circle

that can go
anywhere

in the 'verse
hello
***

so much depends
upon

me and you
earthlings

dream and don't
forget

to turn off
ovens
