Memorabilia
of a lifetime
in a box
in the closet
fine dust
fine memories
then there’s today
Politics
Words will not save
the darkening sky
thoughts will not nourish
the parched dry earth
despair will not turn back
the surging tide
Unsubscribe
This morning
I missed the bus
and had to take a taxi
to the kitchen
the one who makes breakfast
is moving very slowly
I think when I check my email
I will unsubscribe the world
it’s a grey day
The dragon
In the story the dragon
of anger and fear
belching smoke and fire
swallowed the world
but the next day
he had to spit it back out
you can have too much
of a bad thing
The theatre opens
The theatre opens
and the automatic customers
file in
there is a ruffle and crunch
of excitement in the air
the feature today
includes a passionate exchange
between the dead people
their batteries are charged
they look like real humans
they breathe and talk
no one can see where they plug in
every night
they’ve been doing it for years
they’re good at it
Believe
I dreamed that ants
were dancing on the golden crown
of the ruler of the world
they believed they were taking a break
from writing the laws
of the land
no one told them they were too small
and they couldn’t write
you are what you believe
or not
