Wild Apples - 8 New Poems Charles Turner 1. The Pterodactyl The pterodactyl� Can be rather docile; A quiet contemplater is he. Wise pterodactyl; He lives on his rock pile, Shunning bustle and community; Polishing his claws, Humming without pause, Often slipping into dormancy. The pterodactyl Is wholly without guile; A solitary wisher is he. Round pterodactyl, Fat his chosen life style; A monumental fisher is he. Indifferently Allows men to breathe ; They taste�most un-fishlike, you see. 2.Go Home, Don Quixote Don Quixote`s in the parlor Stiffly in his armor He doesn`t want your tea Says he vainly fought some giants But has no complaints "It was a day`s work for me" I told him, "Crazy little punk You`re a fool for all that spunk Why not go home, you`re tired now That lame old horse is dying And Sancho Panza`s crying Please release me from my vow" Don Quixote Donkeyxote de la Mancha Tired of your mantra Go on home Don Quixote All the world is a minefield And you`re going to have to yield Go along now take to your bed You don`t know cows from great monsters Citadels from dumpsters Your impossible dreams have fled Dulcinea the simpleton Has reduced you to a crumb And your lance has become a crutch I know you`re a pious man But you`ve stood your final stand You`re like a van without a clutch Don Quixote Donkeyxote de la Mancha Tired of your mantra Go on home Don Quixote 3.Mauve Her Eye Mauve her eye, In the silver silicon morn. Dons her bra, One cup at a time; cosmos torn. In the silver silicon morn. Dons her bra, One cup at a time; cosmos torn. 4. do not try young muffins do not try young muffins to peel dedalus from the sun plow yon surf furrow ye soil weep not nor stretch the gate wend ye home in darkness weary be weary sleep 5. i love the crabs i love the crabs� they dawdle so� with the boney abs� body swung low� the eats they grabs� held up just so� stuffed in jabs� and then they go 6. Where shall We Meet? Where shall we meet On the vagabond street Or in the hills of clay? How shall we greet� Reserved or dancing feet� Sniff ass and drift away? Union replete� With onions too sweet� To sting your eyes of gray? Should we repeat� Or enter the discreet� Roll of night against day? Remember fleet� Are the dents on your sheet� Love is a yes away 7. i greet the day i greet the day� as time comes strolling in� on feet of gray� and the sun's old bald head� throws beams my way� so slick n shiny 'tis� new sky leaks dew� wet shoes in fields of grass� a block then two� brings me to the hill i love� as the sky turns blue� my spirit soars with the birds� � 8. wild apples �� rattle down dusty roads� canvass water bags� mama stops digs her toes� grips a limb and snags� wild apples� 1944 and 45� good years for little boys to be alive� california coast� to the orange groves� of lindsay migrant gho family that roves� wild apples
