Jan as Gif Animation

This was a test .gif animation I made in response to a class workshop I taught on the topic today. I didn't know how to do it before, but now, I have learned. So for Galentines Day - here's Jan.

A Verse for February

I lost my winter hat.
I watched helplessly over a dying bat.
Lost in the apartment lobby.
You shouldn't touch them if they are on the ground like that.
It usually means they're diseased.
And disoriented.
Maybe Dying.
Alone.

I opened my heart.
To Lincoln, Nebraska.
It objectified and demeaned me.
And just continues to build more Wal-marts.

When You Ruled The Earth

you are descended from dinosaurs.

talons tapping
emerald green carpet
that covers the vast emptiness
of your third, fourth and fifth
sub-basement...

I couldn't believe it.

I couldn't believe it.

they went down so deep
into the damp earth.

I wasn't expecting it.

it moved like a wildfire - quietly, politely
with complete disregard for what you might consume
in your flaming plume
but I will put you out.
I am a flood.
All heart and blood!

And you are a dinosaur.
