THOUGHTS IN A JAPANESE GARDEN

 

The pale pink blossoms

Dangle like strands of long hair

Pulled from someone's drain

TESTIFYING

My temperament is

Super judicial, shut up

Shut UP it is TOO

THE CAT WHO NEEDS TO CHECK HIS PRIVILEGE

 

I stroke the stray cat.

My house cat stares, green eyes wide,

Silently judging.

CONGRATULATIONS, GRADUATES

In anxious dreams, you

Will again take high-school tests,

Unprepared, pantsless

SPRING AFTERNOON WITH DYLAN THOMAS

Terminally ill

Neighbor must rage, rage against

Goddamn wife, daughter

YOU ARE LIKE A BLIZZACANE

The Weather Channel

Is pissing me off again

BLIZZARDS HAVE NO NAMES

THANK GOODNESS THAT'S OVER

Goodbye, holidays.

(Epiphany does not count.)

Now please make it spring.
