SUNDAY EVENING HYPNOSIS

[photo by Mike Enright]

I'm feeling sleepy

And I won't remember this

On Monday morning

HELPINESS

Unwanted keyboard

Clicks per minute: the record

Is held by my cat

LIFE GOES ON

$7?

No one has yet called

From Publishers Clearing House

Better get to work

DUDELY AFFLICTION

He takes up three seats

So very manly is he

He can't close his knees

PRE-MADE PAPERBACK COVERS 2: FBI

FBI guy says

"Not on my watch!" Or maybe

"Ow, my hand's on fire"

PRE-MADE PAPERBACK COVERS 1: DRAGONSLAYER

Hunkily he stands,

Loincloth-clad, wielding a sword,

Knee-deep in green goo.

NOT IMPRESSED

[released by Harvard]

Jesus had a wife?

What's the big deal? After all,

So did Oscar Wilde.

UNDER THE WEATHER

Hopped up on Nyquil

While my brain endlessly sings

"Oppan Gangnam Style"

THIS IS JUST TO SAY

I am pretty mad

That the fridge does not contain

Even one damn plum

IMAGINE THE POSSIBILITIES

In the big, wide world

Each new day brings some new thing

To complain about

SUNDAY MORNING, 9 A.M.

[note that leaves are still on the trees]

Love thy neighbor? Not

Likely, listening to his

Fucking leaf blower

SYNAPSE MISFIRE

Basil

Tabletop speaker

On the floor and lamp broken

The cat spazzes out

WHY BOTHER

Slimy sidewalk plus

Hose equals the expected

Wet slimy sidewalk

SELF-MEDICATING

[from teh internets]

I drink the foul brown

Spilanthes tincture so that

I may feel nothing

THE SOUND OF AMBIENCE

Does "ambient" mean

Completely ignorable?

If not, make it stop

THE WAY THINGS ARE UNTIL THEY GET WORSE

(This can't be a real dance.)

Celebratory

Dancing, and then, at my age,

Strong analgesics.

BIRTHDAY REFLECTIONS

What have I done with

Another year on this earth?

I have made some blogs.

IMPULSE CONTROL

[hilarious cover by Bruce McCall]

Tourists in New York

Three abreast, strolling, chatting:

I want to shove you.

CURMUDGEON AT THE FARMER'S MARKET

[from Second Wind CSA]

Heirloom tomatoes

in an array of colors

But not one is blue

RAGE, RAGE AGAINST THE DYING OF THE LIGHT

[what Wikipedia says autumn looks like]

Well is it named "fall"

The Sunday night of seasons

BLAM it's September

THINGS MUST BE LOOKING UP

 I found a nickel

While waiting an hour for an

Emergency tow
