Janitor Talk

The rat is pregnant.

The rat had an abortion.

The rats are not pregnant,

they are both female.

Charcoal and Sniffles are expecting.

There's a bun in the oven,

a calf in cow,

a half-calf with root beer

and cinnamon.

Cinnamon is the name

of the first born baby rat.   

Cinnamon is midnight black.

Root Beer was born in stillness

on the classroom sky

When the halls glow red. 

you can hear her,

after hours,

pegging at the beams.



Cat Flies

The cat flies again

The cat flies again

The cat flies cluster

and meow.

Public Afternoon

We passed by a frighten

cat and then we had a child.


At two years old

I painted myself silver.


Silver gives me less 

anxiety than gold.


Gold is a realist's

painting of astral projection.


It doesn't really happen that way.
