One born every minute

Nothing but good news
Comes to me from Nigeria
Offer after offer makes me
Wealthier than Croesus.
Please share in my great fortune
Send me your names and addresses.

Multiverse Theory

If there are alternative universes
Aztecs and Incas conquered Europe
Ann Frank interviews comedian Adolph
California secedes from the Union
Nigerian email offers are true
Everyone has shelter, food, and cats
There’s a me kinder, more consistent
And a you who still sleeps with me,
Smoothing the edges of Existence.

Crest of the Wave

on the scimitar’s very tip
each little drop
despairs of isolation
theorizes on anniliation
until beyond surprise they
merge in a star driven surge
back to bright and bountiful seas

SAINT SEBASTIAN

My three dimensional cat
Chases the odd glimmer on the wall
Slams himself against a bit of light
And meows for it to surrender.
And isn’t this like our quest
Of Truth, of God, of love;
A bad marriage of physicality
With fickle insubstantiality.
