bits of memory
fireflies in a glass jar
lid rusting away

who’s in the mirror
Kerouac? Fats Domino?
I shave to find out
(inspired by Joe Michaelson)
2280
infant cries and cries
I know how you feeI– I could
cry the whole night, too
2279
TV on full blast
my aunt lies asleep, eyes shut
she changes channels
2278
for posterity
my leather bound poetry
the grandkid pukes on
2277
cats hug the heater
old men coughing and hacking
winter lingering
2273
scolding the grandkid
all of four years old
can’t remember why
2264
gray and cold outside
my chilled brain— words and meanings
fly away like leaves
2261
the brutalities
people do— I should have been
a rock in the sea
2257
my friends are still here
in the voices of children
playing hide and seek
2256
my elderly aunt
updates me on every ache
winter and life brings
2254
the miser counting
thirty five pounds and sixpence
over and over
2250
how many forests
had to be chopped down
my box of Kleenex
2249
the gingerbread man
my daughter reads to her son
people will eat you
2248
boulder
worn down by the raging stream
becomes a pebble
