Jealousy never ages well... like a 70-year-old bow legged harlot. Every year the mascara painted thicker the strut less arrogant with every sticky minute no more virgin revelations coming off clownish lips or pen... A discarded dried-up turd... to the bitter end. Anger, the only remaining vice of a burned-out free-falling life So, sip your cold black coffee From a cracked test tube labeled "failed experiment". ...

Diagonal snow Glides effortless through the countryside of the Amputee windshield For the passenger side Has always had a reticent view Steam rises loftily From a topless treat Of gas station coffee That which further Obfuscates the scene Mousey and silent Each flake falls Like the wings of An owl unhurried Speckling the air With flurries of tiny Feathers If snow is a blanket, is the Earth a frightened child? Is there a force, a...

He. simply, first checks the car's tires And off moves, tires spitting fires: Tubular rollers end up criers; Traffic wardens with their "Stop!" liars: Fred at what he loves never tires! The strength Free Fred uses he hires From booze and kola sold by Mires... After three months Fred's Benz for buyers! Often worse than cars long in...

Here’s a fire engine, my husband said. Sure, I used to want one, and in red. But I am now older, and wiser too. I don’t want that anymore, you foo! But honey, you always wanted one.

She thinks she can and chugs along where vistas dip and swell; A rush of steam, a puff of smoke, a whistle and a bell. Gonna buy me a haircut and polish up my boots When that pretty little engine comes to town. The miles speak more of landmarks passed than merely distance run; The hiss and clatter, music gained,...

The engine. Black smooth and ornate Eons in its design. Hell glows at its heart Gears grind, turning into the void; sublime. Darkness hunts, Something drums... Springs, Rings, Mechanical Parts. Churn, Burn, turns... They labor deep in the dark... Onyx chrome sleek and full of mystery. Eternal Engines deities. Sparks fly, a roar deeply shakes... The secret earth coil tightens. Energy is loose... Entangled minds, That...

the engine housing on outside porch ceiling fan.... mud-dobbing bird's nest cat's small water bowl nearly empty, needs refill.... one downy feather through kitchen window keep watch, no activity.... next day look again anxiously wonder birds fate The adult birds have gone I think. I see no activity. I don't know if the freezing temperatures destroyed the eggs, if one of the parents...
