New Year's Resolution

One more last day of the year— 

Remember the last time 
You heard its calling 
And vowed the next time 
Would be the last time 

You did not adhere. 

After Kandinsky

who wrote that blue moves in upon itself—

blue like a snail re 
treating in 
to its 

sh

. 

Cerberus

Don’t look now but something tells me 
There’s something dead to the world out there — 

That cur wouldn’t be barking his heads off 
If it were alive and kicking, that’s for sure. 

Sticks and Stones

Take poison, my love— 

You say it’s only a word,
I say it is only when our lips 

Pronounce it. 





 

Reign of Terror

Don’t let those innocent looking 
Homophones fool you, my friend— 

Puss ‘n’ Boots and Fido are tripping head 
Over heels acid freaks in cahoots again.
