The wasp you don’t really like begins a new nest

Spring 2005

A lottery

Irregular quivering

Happy new life.

Passing through here.

Everything.

Painting oneself daily.

Sanctuary.

Finding one’s fortune.

Men seeking women.

Outer space colonization.

Farce.

Be a nuisance.

Forty years ago.

Endangering.

Light to darkness.

Crippling.

Incomprehensibility.

Splice.

Secret documents.

1995

summer trees

bent down in supplication

afternoon rainfall

I want to do it now   old door doesn’t close right

Three pennies in a urinal   full-moon tonight

Before the universe   not nothing to piss you off

Spring 2005

Sparrows outside my window   monster at his desk

Spring 2005

college town –

the same intersection

twenty years later

another driver

singing along

with my station

bent over

nearly to the ground

“No Stopping” sign

August 21, 1995

Bullfrog

in a bucket –

only its eyes

Window frost –

scraping

the Milky Way

Before we kiss

wrapping my gum

in a maple leaf

Moving day –

leaving

the bird house

“Follow your bliss”

I tell him

knowing I’m not it

1995
