I measure the rest of the time in empty envelopes /
and the mechanic whirring of a fleet of slicing jaws. /
There are only so many ways to spell cancel, and I’ve seen them all.

tic tac toe
there’s so many options / all of the classics are there / pong, pacman, and others / but you decide to go with / tic tac toe / (your personal favorite)
Wearing Superman's Cape
A student gave me Superman’s cape,
a parting gift when leaving my class.
I put it on to pick my daughters up,
watched it flutter a little in the wind
and I guess the glasses pull together the whole Clark Kent look.
The little one sucks on the corner
86 Bacon Until We Get Another Brown Marker
It might only be a 20 dollar hunk of cardboard from Target,
but we threw it together in about half an hour
with the proper A1 flap into the proper A1 slot
and with a little coloring it’s a regular food truck
slinging whatever we have on tap for
Apathy
Do the macarena, the cupid shuffle, the hoedown throwdown,

Axis of Gratitude
Now please move that finger from the center of my left palm to the middle of my open wrist. This was the first movement you ever did when I met you standing at the bar like Samson.
