Nine years ago
Eggs, age were hidden /
Nine years past, when both were young. /
Spring hides without end.

By the roadside
Scraped, by the roadside, /
Olde English brown malt liquor. /
Unopened Spring thirst.

Descending daylight. /

Demon at my feet /
Rests in peanut butter /
Anticipation.

Haiku: “That delusion”
That delusion
Age is a mirror /
Reflecting a passing thought /
Breath fogs the photons.

Poem: “Fat cells”
Fat cells
Fat cells live on /
Like the lyrics of a song /
Stuck in your ear. /
One from which you can’t get clear./
Fat cells live forever /
In fair or stormy weather, /
Regardless of if or whether /
You’d pack them away like winter sweaters. /
Fat cells never die, /
Nor really ever fry. /
Sweat them you may try, /
Butt they remain on hips and thighs. /
Fat cells are gleeful /
Thick and sticky as treacle. /
They can even be deceitful /
And they never say goodbye.
