Mom said the world might end, so we had fish fingers and Angel Delight like it was our last supper. She danced in the kitchen— hip in one hand, remote in the other— Prince on the telly, sky outside grey as...

I am so popular in the grocery store Ninety-nine cents One ninety-nine Two ninety-nine Three ninety-nine Four ninety-nine Overused and underpaid if you ask me Always a bridesmaid, never a bride I do not quite make the grade Can you imagine anyone saying “How great the old lady lived to be ninety-nine? They never say that! They say “too bad she didn’t get to a hundred.” A hundred...

Jack 99
Nervousness of standing on the doorstep Compromise, standing just inside Despite invitation, I politely insisted that the evening ended there Over days, weeks, months then years Things developed with an increasing sense of inclusion Shared excitement, shared passion, shared intimacy A time of normality, a time of exceptions and shared acceptance Times of accepted exceptional normality Thick fluffy comforting summer clouds Ever present, yet...

At 99
At 99 There was a day when there was peace within his soul, A day unlike the many days he’d spent, A day in his afternoon in which he fell asleep again And from his sickness, injuries was free. Within that day outside his body floated he Above it there where on his bed it lay. And he felt free, very free,...

10,99 Special
I cut my flowers too short. My billowing, green vase drowning their maternally short stems and never-blooms. Within a week’s time, (and I know this) The leaves I neglected to p l u c k Will be rotting and browning under the confines of a vase half-full — too full.

99 Percent
An afternoon of sunshine, The kids in the backyard, To coax them back inside Is, understandably, quite hard. They’re heading to a party Which, though crazy, starts at 6.

To help my case, I tell them That their energy won’t last But they reply, despite the hours That sapped my own real fast… “My energy is 99 Percent;” they...
