In God We Trust


Trust me— 

When you said you would 
Try harder the next time, 

Nobody believed you, not 
Even your best friend, 

Your lying self 
To the bitter end.

Epitaph For A Spaced-Out Astronomer


Love, don’t you be like me 
When the stars got in my eyes, 

I looked for the nearest 
Black hole.

Ambivalence


Suffering’s well hidden, 
Festering in Everyman’s heart, 

And everyone wants it 
Ripped out 

Without hurting the heart.

Shall We Or Shall We Not?


Uproot the poem which dares 
Rear its head out of season 

Lest that bizarre beauty develop 
A mind of its own 

And bewitch us.

How Poets End Up Getting The Reader's Goat


Remember leading that nag 
To water to no avail? Well, 
Your exasperating poetic

Manner reminds me of a nanny
Goat that gives us a milk can 
Full to the brim, then 

Straightaway kicks it 
Over before we can fully 
Take all that wholesomeness in.
