the current of the small creek
pushes the little fish downstream
but the little fish doesn’t mind
the little fish just floats
and enjoys the tumultuous ride
Poem #143
boxes inside of boxes
the cat licks my arm
but he doesn’t like the taste
mustard yellow chair
my hair is twisted in purple
and I wait for it to dry
mail scattered on the floor
things to be done
but I lie here motionless
Poem #142
leftovers
they remind me
of fun meals
Poem #141
the sleep is long
the rest is effective
Poem #140
light filters in sideways
into the brown tea room
the girl with bright blue eyes
stares out the window
her face is calm
soft piano music drifts around
there’s odd hope and whimsy
Poem #139
hey Siri
I’m cheery
I’ve got a theory
why’d they do that?
something to look at
fat cat
screen flat
let’s chat
I’m at
top hat
I’m so bleary
not the least bit leery
hey dearie
I’m tired and teary
Poem #138
around and around
it goes
moving hot air around
you know
the temperature does not go down
not cold
Poem #137
Jenny’s blood stream
chocolate chips
mochi
spot 242
orange lantern fireflies
Poem #136
the chameleon girl did not notice
the gentle fluttering, a frantic but effective movement,
of the dusty brown moth eyeing her soup
she did not notice its eventual fall
she did not notice as the soup coated its wings
the powdered surface lost its micro scales
to the thick and unforgiving soup
she scooped up another spoonful
she did notice the half dead moth now
but she couldn’t save it, and that’s it.
Poem #135
weekdays feel like weekends
it’s odd and awesome
