  1. Riddle-Poem 4/6/2026

    My stalk holds the forbidden spark
    That gave mankind the power of God,
    And serves as frantic frenzy’s mark:
    An ivy-wrapped and pinecone rod.
    I put forth seeds that help you see,
    As snakes learn when they shed their skin,
    And stave off hunger gradually
    While adding licorice to your gin.

    I calculated thrust and lift
    But didn’t factor in the cost.
    Now freedom’s both a curse and gift
    Since there’s a part of me I’ve lost.
    I’ll keep on crafting clever things
    Admired by gods and sought by men.
    But I’ve hung up my homemade wings
    And sworn to never fly again.

    To branches neither high nor low,
    Like parasitic mistletoe,
    I cling in bunches evergold
    And serve the one who catches hold
    As passport to an ancient hell.
    In shady grove or woody dell
    I break off clean but hesitate…
    Then sway the guardian of the gate.

    Although I line the marshy shore
    And shallow ditches by the road,
    I’ve long been found most useful for
    The cover a quaint abode,
    As well for slicing through the air
    When squeezed between a lip and tooth
    Or bound by twisted, flaxen hair
    To sing of wild and rustic Truth.

    I wear a long and yellow coat,
    A pink hat on my head,
    While dancing out a drafted note
    On tiptoed, naked lead.
    The mark I make is not for good
    And easy to undo.
    Most commonly, I’m made of wood
    And stamped with number two.

    Before you sharpened, metal, stone
    Or wood, you picked me up — a bone
    That once had been a donkey’s jaw.
    There was as yet no written Law
    To regulate this harrowed land.
    But I felt hefty in your hand…
    Ideal for hammering and hewing.
    And you knew just what you were doing.

    I drive my car across the night
    And at both ends I’m seen
    To shine a light of golden white
    That flashes red and green.
    Although fourfold I look like one
    Because I’m so remote.
    I suckled Saturn’s rebel son
    Who named me Little Goat.

    Because of creeping climate change
    That limited the lands I range,
    And since I never learned to fear
    The upright hurler of the spear
    Who coveted my tusk and mane,
    Ten thousand years asleep I’ve lain
    Beneath a layer of permafrost
    On both sides of the bridge I crossed.

    I used to make my wallet fat
    By working as a bureaucrat,
    Collecting money at my booth
    Disinterested in deeper truth.
    But then one day I got a call
    And simply walked away from it all.
    I heard the summons of the Muse
    And started spreading the news.

    With fifty oars and heroes brave
    I was the first to cleave the wave,
    Plucked from pines on a lofty height.
    Mermaids marveled at the sight
    And raised their heads above the foam.
    I carried golden cargo home
    But then was broken into parts
    For ease of reading astral charts.

    Within this doorless room of bronze
    No serpents, bulls or shining swans
    Appear before my mortal eye.
    But there’s a window to the sky
    And golden rain is pouring through.
    Soon, I’ll be tossed upon the blue
    Enclosed together, in a chest,
    With a divine child at my breast.

    Fifty minus one—do the math—
    We’re trying to fill a ritual bath
    To wash away our mortal sins:
    Daggers disguised as neat hairpins
    Once filled our husbands’ hearts with holes.
    So now, our sad and restless souls,
    Whenever we upturn a spout,
    Observe no water pouring out.

    Though he, like me, attended college,
    My partner always plays the fool,
    While I picked up more practical knowledge
    At Cedar Yorpantz Flying School.
    We both have patriotic hearts
    (As Minnesotans usually do)
    And scholarships not based on smarts
    But sports... at Wossamotta U.

    By no unnatural spell or hex
    I banish foul and filthy specks
    And clear away the evidence
    Of entropy and passed events
    That slowly settles on the floor.
    I send it flying out the door
    Or hide it underneath the mat
    And, while I’m at it, shoo the cat.

    And, while I’m at it, shoo the cat.
