Winter blues

PUPAL under the earth doesn’t like

UNDUE attention, waiting for springtime.

FUGUE in my own self-awareness, waiting for the new:

GRAPH me somewhere on the bell curve of self-doubting.

Inertia

INERT on my couch with beer and Pringles I have a

HUNCH I had something important to do today, I

OUGHT to check my calendar but it’s

UNDER that stack of unopened mail, and I can’t even.

Music phases

ALBUM cover looks like a badly drawn

GHOUL, embodying our modern alienation, something

LOOPY like that.

STUMP me to think how I ever went through that phase.

Goose Poop

GEESE looking for pit stop

SEIZE upon the little league outfield which

BEGAT a host of strongly worded parental complaints,

MINER town tough as nails but not for this.

Sunny Day

SUNNY day invites me to slough off

DROSS of too many hours inside wasted,

SPARK of life and breathing and thinking.

CHOKE off my inertia towards nothingness.
