God Only Knows How You Can

Toil in silence fashioning 
Taut well-oiled verse and stay 
Forever a cipher—but hot damn, 
 
Strut on stage, do a cool loose- 
Jointed shimmy holding fans in
Awe and slam-bam if you ain’t 
 
Straightaway the hottest act in town!

Heavyweight Greeting Card

you 
open
 
it 
and 
out 
 
of 
the 
blue— 
 
voila! 
 
deep 
violet 
blue 
 
dragon- 
fly 
un- 
folds 
 
its 
paper 
thin 
 
wings 
and 
light 
 
as 
feather 
 
weight 
lifts 
you 
 
up 
and 
away 
 
light 
as 
an 
ephemeral 
 
fly.

Whitewashed Janus

The worst 
You can do is still
 
Better than what 
You’ve done 
 
So far—but try 
Till you’re blue 
 
In the face, 
For the likes 
 
Of me, 
You'll never be
 
Able to
Tell the difference.

AlieNation

Sometimes we think 
Perhaps we are not 
Of this world and more 
 
Often than not, we 
Actually believe it— 
Until we look 
 
In the mirror and 
In that proverbial blink 
Of an eye can’t 
 
Unbelieve it.
