Outside, the rain is falling so hard. It sounds like someone's

It is an old replica of an even older machine.

but the computer has eaten all of that space,
and its plastic belly keeps getting...

If you could transport your house for a da?
To the poorest part of the world,
Where need was obvious,
How many cupboards would still be bulging?
When your house was back home.

How many unopened items would still be...

PRECIOUS MOMENTS

Yesterday was Saturday
My two princesses 
Giggling, jumping, prancing, hopped in my car
We were planning to go one direction, but

Why do other people go into a store?
I have no idea,
But when I go in, 
It’s a resale store, and I’m

Empty Closets

How empty the content
Delusion's walk-in closet
Hideaway's glory
Filled to burst

Collected identities
Acquired by proxy
Guarded by duplicity's two-edge sword
Honed by loneliness

Obsessive darkness
