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 #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 #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.
