Off-White

He kills the

alphabet 

The deep

appearance of

black ribs 

on a 

karaoke deck

This is an

economic

green alert

The likelihood

of being 

tortured 

seizes to

shake those

who are 

dyslectic 

The alphabet 

song

resonates 

in my

throat

New Morning Fight

I'm having my very own

yard sale and this is going

to be the biggest yet.

I started this yard sale

extravaganza and I will

be crowned queen again

this year. Negotiation is

only allowed on the third

sale day. This is no "sidewalk"

sale. I'm slightly intoxicated,

but I start drama with 

purpose. This community

of mine is an oilfield in

Hawaii. I can tolerate

a little gender-bending

activity once in a while.

Carol's cat just puked 

on the Christmas tree

marked at fifteen dollars.

Now it's trash and I loathe

the holidays more than ever.
