Week of Dec 31, 2001

1/2/02
Old levis are swell
But lint in the dryer means
Half my pants are gone.

1/4/02
Winter in Houston
With strange ice-frosted windows.
Damn, it's cold inside.

1/5/02
I email you, then
you email me. Infinite,
Like funhouse mirrors.

1/6/02
Sit. Stay. Come 'ere boy.
Joyously jumping - can't stop.
Oh no. Muddy paws.

1/9/02
The mnemonic for
incubi and succubi?
No. Mixed compani.

1/10/02
So pretty in pink,
Turgid and succulent it
Proclaims, "Spam, I am."

1/11/02
Winter moisture blows
Away leaving cherry lips,
Beautiful but chapped.

1/14/02
Made pizza tonight -
Homemade crust, onions, peppers...
...And two rolaids. Sigh.

1/17/02 (slacked off)
With respect to soup:
If the bowl is too big, then
The spoon can be lost.

1/19/02
I focus and hush
My attention deficit.
Hey, what's this thing do?

1/22/02
"Toner Low" it says,
But we can print fading thoughts
For another week.

3/7/02
From across the room
"Elephant juice" elicits
"I want to vacuum."


3/7/02
Expectations leave
The unpleasant residue
of disappointment.

4/8/02
Not wanting to be
Without does not imply the
Wanting to be with.

10/8/02
What could be worse than
Multiple Saddam Husseins?
A second George Bush.

4/1/03
Patriotism:
A cardboard sign is lettered,
"Will suck up for food."

4/1/03
Patriotism:
I do not think that word means
what you think it means.
