my twitter window
on computer monitor
personal ant farm
~
each tweet, a ripple
butterflies above the pond
causing hurricanes
~
zen is very much
like noticing the slash mark
in between two/words
~
punished by myself
for the lot of joys I passed
waiting to be good
~
under solemn oath
the fox treed by tired hounds
promised them all naps
~
never expecting
changes in your stagnant life
does not hinder them
~
sleeping through my life
warm and safe, caught up in dreams
God yanks the covers
~
the cracks in my heart
repaired by time's arteries
drop, by drop, by drop
~
lights, slow sensor beeps
the room clock synchronizes
with my traitor heart
~
thoughtless wind frees them
twirling ghosts pass ancient eyes
he and leaves are one
~
singed fur, lifeless eyes
subhuman evil giggles
tiny voices mewl
~
seventh-story glass
stares out for a hundred miles
and whispers to stars
~
and if I wouldn't die
would I still sit near the sun
like I dare today..
~
traffic lights changing
the wind swings them back and forth
flipping plastic cups
~
squealing rubber burns
subwoofers rattle windows
drowned-out crickets sing
~
beautiful bare feet
pretty lady with a cane
wears pain on her face
~
just one little me
looking at the world so big,
wondering so wide
~
if I understood
what kind of sushi 很 was
I would order two
~
after the rain stops
trees blow-dry their soaking leaves
with solar power
~
without a pink slip
mountainous old-growth forest
is given the axe
~
I'm the one she cursed
how furious one must be
to become that curse
~
human saline drips
in the cracks between the keys
circuit board encroached
~
whirring, clicking buzz
electromechanical
lights blink "One Free Play"
~
kissing, making up,
last thoughts in the confused space
behind blackened eyes
~
black and white jumping
two old men playing checkers
two kids twirling rope
~
phone to satellite
thousand mile round trip to say
"hold on a minute..."
~
no after-sex glow
no shared dreams, no eye-gazing
just watching TV
~
who needed it more?
the starlet with sultry eyes
or the chinchillas..
~
each of us living
intrepid and cowardly
like fat men dancing
~
"made in His image"
photoshopped, resized and cropped
malformed artifacts
~
our purpose in life
taken so seriously
God's television
~
every day, sunshine
ants crawl, birds sing, babies born
monotonousness
~
