in stone mosaics,
nature’s hand is more artful
than the artist’s.

a spider hides like a fat
kid behind a pole.

PROMPT: Album
What’s your all-time favorite album?
I couldn’t even begin. I have favorite albums of some particular acts (e.g. “Let it Bleed” Rolling Stones; “Born to Run” Springsteen; “Rumours” Fleetwood Mac; “Sgt. Pepper’s…” The Beatles; “Toys in the Attic” Aerosmith; etc.) but not overall.
I think MIPSO’s “Dark Holler Pop” is pretty much a perfect album, and I’m quite fond of Ben Sollee’s “Learning to Bend.”
But I have no favorite album.

stands atop the hill:
unstruck by lightning.
