Prints Charming

Dreamsense

it goes without saying
there are two small rhinos
in the classroom
but I said it anyway



life is a crime scene
trying not to leave
prints



in the wake
of the Mermaid Parade
apocalypse, sequins


[the above is a revision of a poem I wrote several years ago, and used to have on my business card:

Coney Island
after the Mermaid Parade
apocalypse, sequins]



I know a foster wife
only she calls it something else

Grave Fear

afraid of change
and never have
the exact amount



Gravity

on my
television,
the infield fly rule and
high velocity blood spatter
get caught

5-7-5: Commitment

hum of bees and birds
at the Audubon Center--
wind-blown caution tape


[This was written in Santa Fe, at the amazing Audubon Center up in the hills overlooking the city. I have no idea what the caution tape was doing there, but fortunately, there was no chalk outline.]

Penguins Can Fly!

face-off
the hockey player wipes blood
from his brow
