How much should you say
Don’t think of an elephant
Before anyone
Had thought to think it
Until others suspect that
You’re the elephant

NaPoWriMo 8
Northern Virginia
Will always be defined by
Teslas with stickers
That say they bought it
Before they knew the evil
And yet cannot sell

NaPoWriMo 7
Ten point plan two weeks
Taco Tuesday once again
What is old is new
Thanks for tuning in
Next episode of the war
So predictable
-
NaPoWriMo 6
Christ is arisen
The pastor is still napping
Easter hangover
Resurrection takes
A lot out of you—just ask
Anyone who wakes
-
NaPoWriMo 5
Wonder why absent
Ones not with us at the tomb
As it stands empty
Until the rain pours
And what once was only bud
Now suddenly green
-
NaPoWriMo 4
Easter—grocery
Store is now completely out
Of asparagus
Brussels sprouts I like
Roasted with some olive oil
Tiny cabbages

Peek a Boo
Time was looking
through the holes
of the climbing wall
each time seeing
the face on the other side
slightly change
but still recognized
uncontrollable laughter
residue of the big bang
these holes in the wall
keep multiplying
they follow us
throughout our days
every moment a window
into familiar or strange
what’s on the other
side will there be
laughter between us
over and over again
count to three eyes on me
eventually nothing is
left but full
