Shoe Gaze
An inspired melody
from an experimental band
no one knows about
lost in 10 million songs.
After the gig
crossing the parking lot
in the deserted town,
getting into the beat up Subaru
never to return.
Play your flute sound
little elfin birthday child.
Spicy tofu and kimchi waiting
when your song ends.
What’s for dessert?
Fresh shoe gaze with
frozen art sauce and
pink noise sprinkles.

Frail
I am a dry trembling twig
I fall from the tree
and I am run over
by a Ford F150.
If I were clinging to my life
as a fallen twig
I’d be miserable.
But it hasn’t been so bad.
The chuckling of chipmunk children
is the last sound I hear as I wash away
in the waste water.

Look to C
The sun and earth are not found in books or on an iPhone 14.
Dive into the sea of harmony and distortion
and if you can,
discover the sun and earth
in the bathroom mirror.
The spring flowers are speaking.
The summer light hums.
Even the cold beer and warm noodles have something to say.
They say they have found the sun and earth.

Hardly
All things are made of tiny particles.
Cheerios float in a bowl like little life preservers.
The universe is expanding but no one knows why.
All the music ever recorded by the band Yes can fit on a micro SD Card.
Compared to the sun the earth is pretty small.

Self Doubt
I don’t believe myself anymore.
I’ve loosened up on hopes and dreams.
I took my freakout to PetSmart
and bought it a squeaky toy.
Now I write mediocre poetry
and compose off-key music.
Who knows when the show will end.
It ends soon enough.

Scutigera
Scutigera is a house centipede with 15 pairs of long legs.
It moves fast and can scare the hell out of you.
If I were small enough I’d ride it holding a sewing needle
to spear fleas and ticks and feed them to Scutigera.

Box With Tubes
Human beings make machines,
but no one knows how to control them all.
I don’t know what the knobs and switches are for.
I program my toaster-oven and pretend I am in charge,
but actually I know nothing of the secret circuits and
wobbling wheels of artificially intelligent robots.

Hotel Room Hum
The hotel room in Montreal was in a trendy neighborhood.
The furniture and bathroom were very trendy.
The trendy people who designed the hotel did not notice
the strange modulating hum in the wall.
They did not know
that it could be heard clearly
in the quiet of the night.

Lost Information
Who is calling me?
I don’t know.
The voice mail caller says
“I’m actually calling to inform em now”
What was it that I needed to know?
The information is lost
but that’s ok.
Now it is a song.

Afterthoughts
No one standing in the laundry shop
was hugging a cat.
Twelve roosters are arranged on a large disk
and taught to crow on the hour.
This was a last chance meeting
of the original and the fake.
Perfection isn’t part of the plan
so afterthoughts are marked in green.
The fog was clearly spelling out
the names that had been verified.
She was told to act normal
which caused a freak out.
Now I’m waiting
for my robot to be upgraded.
A pile of gravel can be thought of
in several different arrangements.

Chip Cookie
Where the waves of sound break
the ear or foot can not follow;
When the mind gate is opened,
nothing can stop the transmission.
Relaxing the hand,
not relying on memory,
with no plan that can be set,
the notes have crossed.
Chocolate chip cookies sprout legs
and march towards the mouth of nirvana.
