The wanting
I am your sun dog. /
I have a few moments for you. /
Do you have a snack?

The nose
The nose knows no no’s. /
Olfactory exploring. /
The damp detective.

Active
Active head rest /
Surely, the car makes a jest. /
I laugh as air bag crests.

An opening
An open mind learns.
An open heart compasses.
An open book starts.

My name
I am not Stanley. /
Why does she call me bad names? /
I call her Gertrude.

COVET-19 Blues
The feeling that you get,
When someone you know is let
In line in front of you.
You are not a high risk dame
Or a gunsel of the same,
But it is a crime and shame, true.
You want to get the stick,
Feel the vaccine do its trick
And tell the virus, “Screw you.”
You’ve waited patiently,
A patient you don’t want to be —
It is worse than the flu.
Then this feeling you get — mean,
Some call it COVET-19,
Because a friend beat you through.
Hey, we’re of the same young age.
We ain’t old enough to be a sage—
So screw you, too.
You say it when no one’s there.
It’s a feeling that you dare not share,
This COVET-19 Blues.

Bagels
Some bagels are fresh. /
Others are moldy compost /
Rescued for repast.
