Fish of the land
If fruits de mer means /
fruits of the sea, should berries /
be fish of the land?

Eyes
The eyes from the floor /
speak no words, but implore: /
no more. Don’t ignore.

Sugar dream
Original glazed /
Hot when the round light’s bright. /
Summer’s sugar dream.

Sun flower
Our star was green once: /
gas and strange forms — blooming now /
with light and life.

Pepper post
Ripened in the sun /
Hot pepper resting and red /
Summer spiciness.

Back down
Back down to the floor. /
Heart upward toward the ceiling. /
Belly scratch ready.

I am a writer. /
Thank you for asking, Bear. /
Dog and broom were mum.

The Tong Dynasty
King Kong and Godzilla met in a kitchen. /
King Kong heard Godzilla wailin’ and bitchin’ . /
“My toast! My toast! I can’t get it out. /
“My toast! My toast! It’s stuck in that snout. /
Every time I reach in sparks fly out. /
Angry it is!” He stomped round about. /
King Kong reached forth with bamboo tongs. /
They grabbed that toast like a pair of thongs. /
Godzilla thank Kong and went on his way. /
Thus, civilization was saved that day.

There once was a writer of wars /
Who saw peace as a series of chores. /
When people put their arms away /
He had nothing to say, /
And at parties he was just one of the boors.
