Edges and Holes


1.
Saucepan on head.
Not easily acquired.
Mouth taking a bath.

Their way or highway
tusk tusk allow for
blinking lights antenna
loud
snaps.

Joy counting heads
floating in pool.
Head
or alive.

Calculator has history
for opening windows
all on its own…

External scars
prove more bird than fish.

Bed of nails.
Trash in spare time.
Tart lemonade.
Dump unquenched.
Check back tomorrow.

2.
Life drank.
Life it spit out.
Was still a life?

Hard labor all day waiting
your move
your move
gazelle in a savannah.

Third bottle
water-skiing.

Joy hoped retain road
to strangeness.
Argument,
the parking lot.

So long.
Thanks for the colonies
fig-leaf couture.

3.
Ham booger ham booger
out of beef.
Never underestimate
willingness.
Throw under sun.

Battle of the bathing suits.
How should be worn.

Excepting fate.
Beach as the kite flew.
Jaw and cabbage.

Grief for a love
with no place to go.
Empathy vs sympathy.

But I hate people
ate people.
Pink as a house.

4.
Accidents universal.
Flesh-colored yoga pants.
Charity gig.

Towels sup up sewage
flowing in from behind
the door.

Wall full of death masks
could wear a different
one every 216th time.

This is the last...

5.
Crash of car through
the garage.
Colored in deep space.
A soft burning
yellow.

Hid the watch as men
cried for their diamonds.

Devil created
red sparkly glitter.

You pay for your lifestyle
in hours. Folding as
a rental rolled
to a stop.

On a dark road.
Piercing the window.
By mere millimeters.

Dangerous exchange.
Of hats.
Glass tears.
At swim ballet.
Machine learning.
