Blue "miss you"
flowers wilt
one by one.
"Hey!" flowers
wrapped up in
cellophane.
Pink "love you"
flowers grow
in a pot.

Poultry farm chaos
Chicken-lickin’ you
Sweet and sour future
Henhouse flurry
Henpecked and handpacked
Epistle of gristle
Cellophane stiffy
Wishbone hope?

Sheep that follow leaders and wear wool,
sadly, often don't live a life that's full
before the part of them that does remain
trades in their wool for cellophane.

What I want for Christmas,
Is not found on a shelf’
Wrapped with bows and cellophane.
What I want for Christmas,
Is to hold you in my arms,
And gaze into your eyes once again.

Ballad
When you're a Hungry man
Then you can do it.
It's simply cellophane.
Nothing much to it.
Heat in the microwave.
Two patties, gravy pool.
When you're a Hungry man.
Then You can do it.

Music, both sacred and profane,
an elephant in cellophane,
a boa constrictor bowing a cello,
aluminum and lemon Jello -
these are things Ms. Andrews missed
as on her favorite things, she dished.

Twinkle Than Crinkle and Wrinkle
There is this star that tried to twinkle,
But in big deal we would find a wrinkle;
Clear cellophane,
With no stain;
Made crunchy sound when it did crinkle.

Blue "miss you" flowers
in a vase on the table
wilting one by one;
Orange "hey you" flowers
wrapped in cellophane
they don't last long;
Pink "love you" flowers
growing in a pot
not plucked, left to live.

Haiku
The rose of yesterday
Has lost allure
Since it was put in a vase
A cypress unwraps
When someone expires
Says the legend
A tulip sways in Dutch pasture
Before being cut
Wrapped in cellophane and sold

Forgotten people
unnoticed daily
with downcast faces
that no one sees anyway
Invisible people
scurry to their houses
unseen by many
unseen by all actually
Cellophane people
hiding their hearts
so no one else hurts them
we see them not

I was going to write you a poem
but my cat lay in the road.
I scraped up his remains with a shovel
paced them in a plastic bag,
dropped it into a dumpster.
I was going to write you a poem
but in my fridge is a half can of cat food,
with a cellophane lid,
useless and taking up space.

They escape
Through a small opening
On the side of my head
Liquid skin becoming cellophane
An accessory to suffocation
Tries to trim the threats
Of an unfurled canvas
In my pocket
Artauds’ anguish
Stitches together absurd reasoning
One kiss tooled the empire
Only the smart escape

I am a simple wandress, an ingenue with virgin wings,
Entangled in strings of anguish, I steer from the path,
Aware of the wrath, I twirl in a world of my own.
I’ve my soul on a chain, with controls to my pain,
But a dalliance with love turns stone to cellophane.
You see right through me.

Although I do not know thee well
Won’t you grant a little wish for me?
I can offer this lovely moonstone shell
Faerie Goddess of the Hollow Dell
Come out from beneath that pretty bluebell,
Your cellophane wings I still can see…
Faerie Goddess of the Hollow Dell
Won’t you grant a little wish for me?

cellophane scotch
anything but mastic sticky back
silky front invisible tape
I can't see you
you can't see me
where am I
where are you
it's apparent we are all transparent

Hooray! The Reader’s Digest arrived today!
I tear the cellophane open, eager to begin my big read.
There are mites on every page.
Troops of mites in a line, marching along.
Where are the words?
I show the book to my husband.
Those are the words, he says.
Now I am irritated that I argued we did not need to order the Big Print

She seemed somewhat sad
So she slid
Semi-comatose...
...Cellophane Soul screams
Saran-wrapped
Such subtle sorrow
Semi-transparent
Sweet, still sleep
She succumbs slowly
Sad Cellophane Soul
Silent screams
Suddenly strangled
Suicide succeeds
Suffering
Cellophane Soul soars

Cellophane wrappers tossed aside
Street worn
Dark tide.
Dashiki dressed strode in pride
Street worn
Dark tide.
Refuse strewn …side laced
Street waste
Dark tide.
Dirty white, short height, left faced;
Street waste
Light tide.
Blighted boughs, deformed, reformed
Street waste
Light tide.
Diverse, rich cream, seamed………
Street dreamed
New tide.

Rhyme
I am nobody special but I am kind.
I am nobody you would notice
But the first to offer to help
You might remember my name for a second
Or give me a quick hug
But tomorrow I am invisible again
I am cellophane,
Like the window
People see through me
Not realizing I am there
I had no idea what a nobody I would be
When I turned fifty and became invisible.

When I
Think about
Loving you
I think
About reaching
For my
Bible and
Shaking it
My hand hurts
From writing
My love
In the
Bindings of
Bibles
And Moleskins
I am transparent.
As transparent
As the
Warmth love
Brings, as
Transparent as
A newborn
Thrown through
Cellophane
Our world
Is transparent,
A transparent
Rattle, a
Rattle that
I reach
For and
Shake.

she wakes as a cello
in the morning not
high strung but
mellowly tuned
i run one of
my fingers
feeling her
f hole as
the air makes
her shapely
boxed body
quiver in
sound and
breath as
she breathes
vibrating strings
just plucked
slightly an open
g seizes the beat
of my heart as
it ceases to be
modulating to c
as i tightly wrap
her for a trip

I do not know?
They drop, unmoored,
into the wind of oblivion
Breathing the rusty dust
Of charcoal coated days
Burned by the bleeding heat
Of icy nights, in cement tents
With the drum of diesel wheels
Their lone lullaby
In the fangs of feral shadows
They scrape their survival
Off the ground of disregard
Yesterday's washed away
In acid rain
Tomorrow's as thin
As cellophane.

Wound in Cellophane
The older women come to coffee
with cookies wound in cellophane.
They talk of children
or their children’s children
or their garden.
Or they simply sew
and watch the young girls trickle in,
buy berry rolls and coffee,
nibble, sip, lick fingers, blow
small parachutes of smoke,
and laugh a young girl’s
world of willy-nilly.

Capitulating to the wild, random and fickle.
Sigils weaved from nothing, we digest,
divide amongst our kin,
our hands stiffened and hastily fragmented,
our eyes on the sun,
we are all wrapped in cellophane,
falling in place, as the holy crown for man, our Lord and Savior.
Man forbid thou escape his grip today!
Even so, he will surely find thee later.
