John Ramm Visits the Library
Shhh, echoes the front
of the library
with its many books
and few people
There is a stamping
and an animal snorting
from the science section,
causing the librarian to rise
Telling the dear Mr. Ramm
she wishes he could read
books, but he's just a wild
animal, after all.
The Wedding of John Ramm
Two antlers decorated
the top of the cake like
a taxidermist's confection
They are not sure
if they should leave the veil
on the bride, as tradition
dictates, or drape it across
his wide brow
Truthfully, he stands, hands
planted at his sides like oaks,
hooves glued to one spot,
unsure of how to behave
in the promenade.
