Reach
I am not a dream. /
Your waking will not end me. /
Lower that snack — now.

“Some thrones”
Some thrones
Sometimes the throne is /
a mulch pile, a dead threshold /
waiting to be thrown.

Good eats
Thanks for the big eats. /
I lick my face to finish. /
Better than a bird.

“Big cat”
Big cat
Did a big cat eat /
And leave its spots as payment /
For a child consumed?

Sunday silliness: “Fainting tree”
Fainting tree
Oh, those fainting Christmas trees.
They are a sight to see,
Can’t be left alone, can’t be.
You went to spread some cheer,
So let me be clear,
It wasn’t me here,
It was the cat.
Like the serpent in the tree,
She tempted me
And now you see
Where we’re at.
She challenged me,
Said I couldn’t be free,
That there would be
No Christmas present for me
Unless I ran around the tree
And that’s when it went ker-splat.
It fainted dead away.
I don’t know what to say.
It fainted that way.
The power cord’s now frayed.
Yes, it happened today.
I blame the cat.
Yes, sparks flew,
There was a spark or two,
Arcing a translucent blue,
Singed the cat through and through.
No, I don’t know where she’s at.
So, those fainting Christmas trees,
Looks like they just can’t be
Left unattended, you see.
I think we can right the tree,
Set it up to be
Fully faint free
With no cat calamity
Without the cat.
