The Masseuse Is Worried

Still trying to branch out from elephants, but elephants creep in.

(If the whole masseuse does not show, or all the quills of the massaged, just click on drawing. I am posting from a mobile format and I fear that parts of the drawing are inadvertently cut. Thanks. )

Branching Out?

I have been trying of late to branch out to different animals.

I mean, in my drawings, and I mean, other than elephants.

The first above was a European Bison.  (Sort of.)  The hump on his back looks suspicious.

Then I moved on to ducks.  (Sort of.)

And a horse.  (Ha.)

Hope your weekend was good.

P.S. – I’m not sure that drawings uploaded from an iPhone in their original (large) sizes show up on older browsers, so please click on image to see full version.  Thanks!  (If they are not loading in full, please let me know.  I could use smaller versions also.)

Hot Day–Imagined Beach (with you know what.)

Hot here. I fear some browsers don’t show a whole picture uploaded from iPhone app (which is what I use) so posting smaller file black and white version below. (Sorry for repetition–I get nasty surprises sometimes when I check a post on a regular computer after posting on a mobile device and find that only half the pic is there! The lady elephant in corner would not like to be cut out! Usually if you click on photo or drawing, whole will show.)

Stay cool!

Shame Amidshipmen

Shame Amidshipmen

Gobs of semen lobbed
on a lolling face–don’t talk to me
of protecting and defending when a woman
drunk to sleep
is but a c(o)untry to be surrounded,
invaded, ground
into your back seat, thoroughly
pillaged.

Your compatriot,
your comrade in arms,
your fellow human.

This was written, crazily, in response to Claudia Schoenfeld’s poetics prompt for dVerse Poets Pub about bathroom poetry – I was thinking of “shower” and this came up.  I’m sorry.  I’ve been very disturbed and outraged today reading about the investigation of a serial rape case involving midshipmen (primarily from the football team) at the US Naval Academy.  Facts are not in, and I don’t mean to implicate the men involved in this particular incident, but lately there have been many reports of sexual abuse and harassment at the academies, and in the military generally.  There are proud institutions that have garnered and deserved a great deal of respect historically, so it is pretty shocking.  (At least to me.)  Sorry this is so grim – I could not think of a graphic.  Check out dVerse for much more cheerful poems today!
