Burned Once

How will go for me 

when

stove top

gas burners 
are 

flaming high

and grease 
is 
all that I am?

Ordinary Life

In the land of mumbo-jumbo

the spider reigns supreme.

Though his crown an awkward fit

everyone calls him king.

Webbing fates with tiny streams

our fates go unseen.

Status

Of the thousand quotidian
words to say, all I can
muster is an anaemic
smiley face.

All the Pretty Girls

In a mountain college town,

I, the elder, pose 

in a coffee shop,

a cliche scribbling 

notes for Mr. Poem.

Bryers Cherry Vanilla

Emptied after two days, 
its creamy contents 
stales in
the whales belly
and he wonders why
he can’t shit.
