Bagel Day
...Hooray! Hooray! It’s Bagel Day!
Or so I’ve heard it said,
So substitute a bagel
For some ordinary bread.
Since many so-called “bagels”
Don’t have what it really takes
To be authentic, you may...

I Donate My Hair
...My hair grows much faster than most
You can ask my friends, teachers or ghost
If it is in a mohawk by breakfast it is at my shoulders at noon
I can usually stand on my locks in the mid-afternoon

swizzles
...Three days in - three days of school - and it’s like I never left.
In school, you can get oversaturated with screens. I like books.
They have a sense of permanence, they don’t glare back at you,

Fashioned Fortitude
...A mirror never reveals
fallen secrets sewn with soulful sequins;
time unmutes raven melodies within,
tawny tunes of truth~
I once spoke in colorful dialects.
Now, I trust just the...

Seattle Streets
...The traffic light
delayed us both
Me driving my car
She driving her cart.
The traffic direction changed, rotated,
making black eyes spark annoyed
as her walk signal failed to appear,

More Is More
...she kept hearing the weird phrase on the news
Less is more
What the heck did it mean?
She reached for the last donut in the bag
Dang!
Scarfed down a couple of chips
They did not appease her

That Devils Mask
...I would not have that devil’s mask in my house said Nana.
I laughed at her silliness and scarfed down my banana.

Green Turbaned Man
...In the semi-arid suburb, Medina,
A high pitch of sound echoed.
It dopplered through misty shrubs.
A helical dawn goes tidally.
The Pathfinder: stepped,
deep nodded, starry-eyed,
Scarfed fragr...

standing in a field of snow mitted and scarfed to the chin
Front window frosted from our breath iced fingers scribing

On You
...That white painted spread
Have you listed your head
That pink string
Can be seen through
The lacey airy slots
Making it hot
You like showing
Your thing
That's what I got
You like it hot
You...

star-lanterns’ beam finds an awakening dream -
a strewn snowy stream

The beggar outside the supermarket
You swore was picked up later
In a flashy car
Sat there in the sun for 8 hours
While you pissed & moaned
All the way home
To your bookless
Mausoleum

Lean Time
...As the days shorten and skies darken
Greenwich meantime feels like a lean time.
With a heavier coat I go out scarfed,
my hat pulled down, to find those last leaves
compact in corners and crevices...

Before I Leave
...Captured a roaming flirty me.
In my nice tailored garb for Eve.
Rosy cheek, nervous, served in sleet.
Cookies and milk scarfed, forced fore’ leave.
Then I ride, slay.
Kiss…alright, babe.
