Early Evening Reality Show

At nightfall
The owl

Perches on
The television

Aerial

And waits until
It can give

Last night’s lucky
Survivor the reception

It needs.

Epidemic

Stopped

In their tracks,
Imagine

Everyone catching
Poetry’s magic

As if it were simply
Another case of common

Affliction.

Alexander-Alexandra Meets Diogenes the Cur

What is this scruffy old dog asking this Nordic-looking goddess? You'll have to go here to find out.

Like a Mermaid in Air

When asked if she knew how

To swim, that naked
Six-year-old sylph surprised us

By showing her breast-
Stroke as she glided

The light fantastic
Over grandma’s

Blue-tiled kitchen floor.

Time on My Hands

So help me I’ve shouted
Bloody murder countless times,

And still I sit and watch
My hands commit the crime.
