Dear Sue
Dear Sue,

to the young woman who surreptitiously read
her aunt's very private diary,
filled with vulnerable statements
of the most intimate nature

Yet, though secretive,
then took a bold black marker
and...

Rounds
Rounds
by Michael R. Burch
Solitude surrounds me
though nearby laughter sounds;
around me mingle men who think
to drink their demons down,
in rounds.
Now agony still hounds me
though elsewhere mirth abounds;

The Antics of a Yoyo Thief
Now scores of years
after botched minor theft penchant
courtesy security guard
analogous to inquisitorial trenchant
unforgettable verbal lashing
(suppressing me ululation to vent)
unwittingly arresting snitch behavior
plus potential life of crime.

To What End
I waited
Under the outspread foliage
Of the banana tree,
With ripening fruits dangling precariously,
Wondering,
With eyes set on the earth,
Wishing I understood
This everlasting madness.
To what end would man go,
To what end?
A mystery it...

Amidst a swirling clouds

Old Mcdonald's Farm

I visited one fine day
Coerced the animals into my van
Then quickly drove away
Drove them all back to my house

Than domesticated animal...

It was in vacuum,
That I had moved it,
It was looking for purpose and sense,
And catch hold of some object,
It could not...
