See that tree over there?
It's just me. The sum of my shadowed legacy
Standing alone, invisible
...
Imagine yourself
In my own bed
Feverishly writhing
In the sheets.
...
'By and by the magician will throw us all back into his black hat.'
CHARLES SIMIC
...
If the cow jumped over the moon,
And the dish ran away with the spoon
Should I go smoke a bowl with Mista Nat King Cole
Score a hit with my favorite crack 'ho',
...
Bang your head
Against a crumbling brick wall!
Bang your head
As newborn earwigs crawl and chew
...
Into my backyard for leftover crumbs
The one-legged sparrow, he comes.
He's a bird-brain, it's certainly clear-
...
Lying facedown on the floor,
I crawl away from you.
With your deception, I'm unsure
...
All the days of my life
Are like donuts in a box.
Some are glazed, some are raised
...
If vegetarians eat
Vegetables then
What the hell do
All you humanitarians
...
Doomed
My neighborhood is full of hungry birds.
Blue jays
Cardinals
Meadowlarks
Magpies
Meadowlarks
Sparrows
Starlings...
and don't forget the crows.
For sustainence, the feast upon my exposed flesh.
Circling overhead, they swoop to nibble undisturbed
Pecking nimbly at unmoving fingers
And my missing toes.
