croaky exhaust mimics fart
frog glares in disgust

Exhaust the little moment. Soon it dies. And be it gash or gold it will not come Again in this identical guise.

Exhaustion Is So Fast

Peer pressure sets you on fire.
Their applause fans the fire lit.
You exhaust your fuel fast
And falls as embers so soon.

Hearty Hound

The one eyed
three legged dog
stands on the
cold, hard concrete
and sniffs the pungent
exhaust fume for lunch
on a fine, gusty fall day.
