Didn't really want to talk
don't have much to say
We haven't talked in a while
a little longer wouldn't matter anyway
Don't keep me on the phone too long
you know I don't like commentation
Let's just say hi, say bye 
I didn't call to have a long conversation
Or to...

A  fly on the wall I would like to be
Larry's mother-in-law I want to see
Is she that bad
Or is he a cad
Reporting  tonight on news , Channel Three


For the Fly on the Wall contest......

It’s late. I’m becoming paranoid. I can hear the thumping of bass from passing cars. Doors slamming. Screaming. My window shudders with me. To look into my peripheral- my irises must cross oceans. Waves crash. Everything blurs. 

Life is now an abstract painting of the...

Tim is a thinker and operates within the logic of his brain
Reasonable thoughts solutions imperative webs rule 
and divide analyses paradigms and guidance from hell

He googles and ogles centrifugal dispersion displayed
on the smoke screen of distracting internet searches
A seeker he is however the computer can...

Checking Out

         by Edmund Siejka


In the dimming of twilight
My wife holds the phone close to her ear
Lines of worry crisscross her face
She is talking to her sister
Whose husband is in the hospital
And has taken a turn for...

It is a bit of an inconvenience to have
A werewolf living in our refrigerator,
A troll residing in your underwear drawer
And a vampire who reads our mail.
My husband looks up. “That’s right,” he says.
Assuring me that he is indeed listening to my every word....

Words from perforated ceiling tiles squawk
as megaphone filters blare
in crackled sequence
around missing stations
and call letters that aren’t acronyms

I hear these words, but shake my head
I know they are for me,
sent by well wishing advisors
wearing t-shirts imprinted
“I’m with stupid”

(and the arrows point at me)

Still I don’t...

In a theater or museum
Someone’s there to check your bags
And I wonder what exactly
An inspection like that snags.

Are there weapons nestled next to
People’s wallets or their phones?
Have they confiscated contraband
That some attendee owns?

As the line moves up, my bag’s unzipped;
I let them glance inside.
Although they...

Well dang and gol darn
She sure got some charm
This dream walking down the street
Into a pole I smashed
My old bean gets mashed
Hurt bad for the love of Pete

She helps me get up
I thrill to her touch
Suddenly my head no longer hurts
As I'm getting to my...

Me sweetheart gave me a shirt
with lettering
“how to pick up chics”
I dressed to kill and put on a wig
wore a stylish hat ,I looked like Fabrio
this was better than the dating page
no calling and no waiting 
I wore me shirt uptown
surely I would get me...

It’s wonderful when friends check in
When something’s out of whack.
It lets you know that there are people
Who have got your back.

An email, phone call or a text
Is all it really takes
So you’re aware somebody’s up
For any news that breaks.

We all lead busy lives and so
It’s...

Checking out our Halloween faces
We are simply happy to be in good graces
The ghosts are out, and they are laughing like loons.
I see the beauty of both of our harvest moons.

Yes, this is an alternate universe with extra stuff.
We have scarecrows that roar, and lions...

We are here.
Of that there
seems 
little doubt.

Why, or how
there seems
much doubt.

Some say it's due
to the
divine.

That, to me
seems like a
 punt.

Humans have 
always 
used gods/god
to explain 
the
unexplainable.

Gods are a 
throwback 
to ancient 
times, used
to comfort 
and explain.

Many still cling 
to this idea,
an ancient idea.

Might there be
