Self-Sufficiency

My cat tries to teach
Me to hunt a sock dummy
Got to start somewhere

Petal

Maybe I’m not a
Flower that’s waiting to bloom
A cactus, perhaps

Improvise the Rise

I’m not using an
Alarm to wake this morning
I’m freestyling it

Doneness

Steak cooked medium:
A thin ribbon of red like
Sunset’s final light

A Valid Question

So, if heat rises,
Then why are mountains so cold?
In your face, science.

Gift Wrapped

I fear that my love
Is like the ugly sweater
You dread at Christmas

Movie Magic

Self Preservation:
Protects even against a
3-D cartoon saw

Refill

To keep me happy:
A bottomless coffee fills
My bottomless heart

Side by Side

Both the up and down
Escalators glide downwards
Like a waterfall

High Tech

Staple remover
Sophisticated machine
Need a manual?

Where I Lay My Head

You’re not a pillow
But I’m treating you like one
Drool on your shoulder

Biding

Can I be patient?
Eventually even
A mountain erodes

Screen

When you open the
Door into your heart you risk
Letting the bugs in

What a Deal!

The prix fixe menu:
Pay twenty-five dollars for
Three courses of hate

The Symbol

Kill the computer!
But rage picks the wrong target:
Destroys monitor

The Uneaten

Today’s noble deed:
I’ll sacrifice my stomach
On your leftovers

In The Club II

Much like a goldfish
He forgot I turned him down
His last swim around

In The Club

They circle like sharks
Being unattached is the
Blood on the dancefloor

Sour

I’m a vinegar
Coleslaw girl living in a
Creamy coleslaw world

Bruise

My black eye changes
Colours like leaves in the fall
A seasonal face
