Short Caulk Poems

I just can't "baulk"
i'd rather walk
"than" caulk to do

writing on the wall
an excess, caulk imprinting
in spite of the paint

This week, snow is expected in the hills
A bitter cold Halloween like I remember
Thinking about it gives me the chills
Mostly the looming winter heating bills
It’s time to caulk up the windowsills
Against a blustery, blizzardly November
This week, snow is expected in the hills
A bitter cold Halloween like I remember.

Mom's back a crack to caulk
can't knock it in, until it's knocked
them dogs on down the sidewalk
keep on goin', no time for thought

there's rhymes to run
there's cadences to call
there's favors to sun
there's lawns to sprawl

Molly cries aloud the rules
jump a crack 'n' chalk a skip
sneakered hot dogs leap to cool
verses to holler 'n' cracks to trip

ya gotcha hopscotch, ya gotcha 'hood
sidewalk's gotcha a playin' mood good

Spicy smell metamorphoses
in the garbage.
The same chunk that stimulates 
the taste buds
induces nausea. This is a bin
of dual relief.  
As the darkness falls on the bare
reality, an arm 
stretches through the hole
that nobody tries 
to caulk. The stray man picks up 
a gnawed chicken 
leg bone, a scrape of fried mackerel,
some steamed rice 
mixed with reddish yellow curry...
He recycles the 
junk. Hunger can burn away
any disgust.
