Produce Performance


Mangoes on
my heater
don’t seem to like it
though I thought
they’d miss
the tropics.

Ground Game

Ground Game

I took the pain
in my neck
out the door
down the street
into a deli
where
pickle relish
dwelled,
gourmet mustards
thrived,
and my pain
went to my wallet.

Inter-Office Mail

Inter-Office Mail

Take that envelope
back upstairs.
Does the coffee machine
gurgle and spit the names
of those scribbled out?
Did former employees
drinking free
half & half cups
reading obscure names
think they were next?
What happens
when there’s no more room?

Bullfrogs In Winter

Bullfrogs In Winter

That day when
a Confederate soldier
would serve in
the Union army
is the day he’d shoot
his musketeer
off a bullfrog
through a window
in winter.

Things happen.
