my enemy gave to me
Twelve upset tummies gurgling

Bank Robber's

...
we were young and dumb,
but not reckless,
two boys skimming the edge of fear,
a twenty-year-old shadow

Neighbors come by and collect it in bales
Making comforters, pillows and plush cushions
They bring casseroles, carrots, cro...

Ruler? Measuring cup? I scoff at these tools.

Buttered corn and turkey legs

Salads, ro...

Officially Poor

...My accountant said I'm officially poor,
so I headed out to the grocery store.
Food now costing so much more.
Preparing tuna casseroles, eating spaghetti
striving to keep track of every penny,

A Lesser Feasting

the following drawn-out days
of casseroles and sandwiches
will be shorter
