Dian Barnett Poems

Who are they these paper people
each exactly like the other
cut in chains with children's scissors
in some demon kindergarten,
...

MOSQUITOS love each part of me.
I am a gourmet treat.
But most of all and best of all,
they like to TAP my feet!
...

Her breaks have been many and mean
With bruises and sprains in between.
Now her new metal parts
chime a tune when she farts.
...

Oedipus Rex
Had a problem with sex-
A flame that his tears could not smother.
Which proves one old saying
...

With my satellite dish I can see Dorothy Gish
as a girl or watch 'Birth Of A Nation.'
H.G Wells' 'Time Machine' may appear on the screen,
I get 'Gunsmoke' on some other station.
