Ode to Zilch
...Oh, Nothing! You sly, elusive spud,
You’re the star of this poem (though technically dud).
You haunt empty fridges, blank quizzes, and minds,
The gap where my keys hide and my weekend plans ...

We started out with three, but he was sad
He lives to please me in every kind of way
His baking is good, his frying and cooking not bad
Robot makes my bed, he...

For fleas and lice, I take another stance.

Run Away
...I regret not cleaning my room sooner.
When my mom vacuums,
She cleans around the mess.
And the mess climbs.
This house is a maze.

and holes of black, where not a prayer escapes,

It staggers by without a thought.
I contemplate its being… not.
It vanishes, leaves ne’er a clue.
While saying zilch, as ...

Quietly We Trudge
...The mind is a traveller,
on an earnest quest apart,
link road to the innermost,
signpost for bold hunch,
meaning is a hazy sky,
lay-by as mere pause,
quietly we trudge in tight bands,
