Squirrel chases girl up a tree
squirrel chases girl up a tree
Now isn't this the complete opposite
of what the situtation should be?
Shouldn't the girl be chasing the squirrel
out of the western mining town?
Behind him on a tan palomino,
her six shooters blazing.
Why the reason for these things?
Perhaps,
the squirrel had a little too much to drink in the saloon.
Maybe he confronted the girl with an insult
and she counsulted him
with a slap across his face, and a showdown
when the clock, snake-like, strikes at high noon.
Tick tick the town sqaures clock proclaimed
as the gaunt squirrel, with its oiled gunbelt staggers
into the muddy road.

Paraphrase of the Mighty Quinn
Paraphrase of the Mighty Quinn
The sun reflects off the bright white ice
like a lighter through a cracked window pane,
He pushes a deep, dark, breath from the well
of his lungs into the frozen air.
He watches it float buoyantly away from him
and it waves a white flag.
a jagged tear down the parallel,
He speaks to it without saying a word, softly,
what a stranger in a strange land
but he seems to understand everything of it so well.
The ice crackles under his boots and he freezes in time,
But time crashes through the splintering ice
and he forgets everything in a brief eclipse.

sure signs your kids pal is...
sure signs your son's pal is the son of satan
He glares at me
with his rum-red eyes.
My son plays with his toy
on the carpet below.
His friend stands up and goes into the kitchen,
his forked tail dragging across the tile with a dull
scraping sound.
I watch him closely with a priests concentration
as he kicks over the kitchen table and chairs.
"I have to call my dad so he can come pick me up" he says.
Every time he utters a single, solitude syllable I glance his forked tongue.
He picks up the phone out of its cradle, like an infant child and dials.
I catch only the first three numbers.
When he is done he rips the phone out of th

I'm sitting in traffic on the 215
Poetry is sitting in the bucket seat
next to me with her cell phone pressed to her ear.
She is so beautiful, and I can't help but notice
the way the sun bleeds from her smooth
red lips.
We sit in a row, alone, a sentence
that keeps shifting around.
She doesn't notice I am staring at her. Wading
shallow waters. The breath before a plunge,
and when you do, you break your neck on the
flat stones at the bottom.
Gutter

paper swims buy
singing sea chanties
avoiding the interception
by the French fleet
a crushed Marlboro
pack under a film of
fog and plastic,
