napkin holder...
what an
easy job
dining
with two children
candlelit private room
could be aesthetic romantic
son, set napkin a blaze
A dance of fire
and a Rootbeer
smile,
chewing french fries,
watching skin dry.
Hot dog buns show us
the true murderers.
salted pretzels
the sinners.
Holding her hair back
vomiting not sure smells like feet
Heres a napkin
use my mirror
yours have run
the joker would be proud
Lets teach that er
you hurt them
as her heels slipped off
The Soup is swimming with amazing peeps
Animals and vegetables, loaded with heaps
Can't imagine no yummies
No Soup for the tummy
Would throw in my napkin and sit there and weep
~ink flowed on napkin, becomes "Wings of a Butterfly," my first poem...~

Sitting on a napkin or plate,
they cause my two eyes to dilate,
and there the silent ringing sound,
the sweetest not heard, the world round.
Can you hear, as angel bells toll
the chiming tones of a jelly roll?
Sitting on a napkin, so fair -
the cutest chocolate eclair.
The coffee said, "I'm strong. You're sweet.
How fortunate that we should meet".
A love story with such promise, but....
it ended in my big fat gut.
aka Robert Petrie
The Music Man, starring Dick Van Dyke,
on a Vegas stage being so lifelike,
at the end of the show, he came down to greet fans,
smiles, as he signed my napkin after, shakes my hands.

Mr Napkin Holder
What troubles or
afflicts Mr Napkin Holder is
voices on a
speakerphone are too
loud, are too
confident, the smell of
instant noodles, and
those who say aka instead of
saying
also knows as.
Love is a name
I talked to myself
To understand
Why you'd stick around
For my falsetto
Today I match
And say
Something I write
On every napkin note
Every day
My lips and breath are yours
I just need your love
Always
Her face lit up with a smile
radiance, ebullience
for the longest while
plastic fork and spoon
cast aside, napkin astride
the floor
while more and more
and more of the
chocolatey cake ends up
as the latest
one-year-old birthday-girl
makeup
SMALL CHILD CHARACTERISTICS
Runs into a hundred resting pigeon
Which explode into an escaping cloud
Eats her ice-cream with my shirt as napkin
Asks awkward family questions aloud
Favourite animal today – armadillo
Sleeps across me as her pillow
Before I was aware
I used you to pacify myself, back then I used my mouth to explore the world.
Later, you became a napkin.
Ok, I'll admit, a Kleenex oftentimes.
How I long for those days of simplicity!
Because now, and maybe for the rest of my days
You are just outerwear for my heart.
Things happen when you drink too much
and at the wine soaked kiss
I gave you my heart
scrawled on a beer soaked napkin
you loved me and I loved you
until we woke up to the perfume
of stale sweat and alcohol
and dreams of love ended
in a hangover’s haze

Damn ants-
found one
walking on
my good glass table.
grabbed a napkin
pinched it over
the black body.
there's something
so unnatural
about having a bug
in your home.
how the hell
do they roam in anyway?
You'd think
the rest of the world
would be room enough
for one little black bug.
No time set aside
The words reformed
Again at their own pace
No place to reside
They’re written down
On a napkin or empty space
When I try to hide
They find me sure
In mountain or in plain
As new moments chide
The past adieu
—and thunder turns to rain
(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2015)
Napkin on lap
Sit up straight
Finish everything
On your plate
Quietly chew
Do not burp
Sip the soup
Never slurp
Do not talk
While you eat
Little bites
Cut your meat
Never ever
Play with food
Elbows down
Don’t be rude
I try to remember
The rules I’ve been told
By the time I do
My food is cold.
Corruption reigns while silence is served.
We hone their knives with indifference,
keep polishing their plates with our fatigue.
The reckless and the cruel—
they feast well, for the tables are laid.
A democracy isn’t taken;
it’s surrendered, a napkin at a time.
We end the banquet by taking the plates away.
Beware dear mousey
cat D is stalking
primed to pounce
and visit devastation
upon your nest
of velvet down.
I've plinthed my claws;
a linen napkin
is coiled
round my neck
to mop red gravy
and sumptuous fat
when they dye
my twitching whiskers.
So, nestle close
little mouselings
make haste to scurry!
Inhaler
Dimes
Brown napkin
Three pairs of eye glasses
Two pencils, an eraser and a pen
Wallet with seventeen dollars and eighty-two cents
Comb, cracker, stale muffin, five receipts, toothpicks
Tiny piece of pink ribbon, twenty-two allergy pills
Empty pill bottle
Sometimes finding a forgotten purse feels like Christmas
I just found a note
that I wrote in the bar
I need to stop sitting in trees
I need to stop sitting in trees
See the tops of the trees
swaying in the breeze
They say that's the place to be
but I don't think so
I see the force of the wind
making them bend and bow
And I know that force is force
but salvation is how
you make it on your own

You whispered her name in your sleep last night
The same name I saw in your diary last week
With hearts adorned
It took me back to days long gone
When it was my name
Encircled by hearts
You drew it on a napkin that day,
In honor of our very first date
The napkin’s still lying in a box,
It is still a part of my happy memory box…
She was a shot of tequila,
Gulped by every tippler.
She was a vase of carnations
Set on a high table,
For everyone to smell.
She was a lodge napkin,
To absorb their bodies' muck
She was a cup of cappuccino,
To calm their tactile desires.
They contaminated her,
And she is contaminating,
The gullible satyriasis.
Soon, hearses will be
Moving around!
