VOCAL about truth, yet quick to slander,
PRESS bias decrying, even so partial only to one’s tribe,
GUSTO for a past estate, exactly none for present day.
DECAL of a fish on the car, opaque cipher, meaning less and less.
Adhesive
VOCAL and nagging, your fears
PRESS into your heart like a
DECAL, smoothing out the bubbles with
GUSTO.

Fine art
With one aesthetic CLICK
he took a photo super-ARTSY
in which the ordinary sun SHONE
on an even more ordinary PLANK.
They Blink
PLANK in my eye, yet
SHONE as disgraced to me the
ARTSY fakers, the influencers, the sham
CLICK mongers, blinking with their grains of sand.
Taggers Prank
“CLICK” my flashlight revealed to me
ARTSY designs where its narrow beam
SHONE up and down the wooden
PLANK now “enhanced” by an urban tagger’s prank.
Days End
MOODY is how I am feeling as this day
TAPERs and little is gained. So I will eat
CHILI (it is all that remains), then I’ll
SWILL the weeks old “Happy New Year” champagne.
Chili Thursdays
MOODY Tuesday afternoons
TAPER into Wednesday blues
CHILI Thursdays bring new life
SWILL it, red and hot, taste of the weekend
Closing
CLICK the last pen in place, eyes that
SHONE with tears drying with the signature’s ink.
PLANK and tile, carpet and shingle: coworkers in
ART, SYnonymous with love.
