I used to think, “I hope.” Now?
I think, “I can’t wait.”

This one should go quietly,
alone in its sleep

That she’s walking around,
In the tiny morning hours,
Mascara streaked and
Eyeshadow smudged
Because yesterday,
He shoved his way through a crowd,
Took her in his arms and
Said she was beautiful,
Out loud, for all the world to hear,
And maybe, if she never goes to sleep,
Never washes her face,
The moment will never end?

To pass the internet fame test.
Their pictures are often amusing,
Especially ones where they’re snoozing.
But when it comes time to caption they type “mFfCCXQyzHivUsj”-est!

On the treadmill and began
Walking on the belt.

Exercise wasn’t
My personal forte, but
I took no chances.

My ulitmate fear
Was that my head would be way
Too fat for my mask.

Of no stature and no deed.
His words shall be mocked.

New rule: the heart is a limb.
That would explain it.

smoky tendrils caught up in the breeze
while the garden colors deepen then fade,
a ring around a half moon
whose sideways glance sees summer slip away.

Listening to a private conversation

You are the popular girl
Whispering behind my back

You are the telephone game
That never ends the way it starts

You are the adoring friend
Who makes enemies look so good

You are the fly on my wall
But I bought a can of Raid
