Edgeless Edge [Free Verse]

Some speculate about
 the edge of the universe,
  and what exists beyond.

But that edge - if it exists -
 is beyond another edge:
  the farthest points
   from which we can see light.

In a tower
 on a mountain,
  there's still an edge
   of our eyesight --
like the others,
 it's an edgeless edge, 
  signifying nothing 
   but our own limitations.

We are builders
 of edgeless edges,
  fashioning boundaries
   that don't bound anything,
    but by which we are bound.

Noda City Limerick

There was an executive from Noda,
a member of the class, high bourgeois.
He was the big boss
over all the soy sauce,
but when he told people, they heard, "Blah, blah, blah!"

prickly pears is at risk

eyes glued to the rising sun,
a crow dive-bombs me.

 then rains slouch nearer,
  and blues deepen

Cebu Limerick

There was a clumsy tourist in Cebu
who broke Magellan's Cross, and sought wood glue.
"Oh, don't worry, son!
That's not the first one.
The original was lost... and was already broken, too."
