poetry and prose by stephen chute

the talk show
the dogs
are barking.
they run from side
to side
across the brown yard.
the chain
linked fence keeping
them in.
it's what they do.
what they need to do.
their voices must be heard,
there is no quieting them.

the world is scary
just needed a reason
tupperware
the very short holiday visit
the world needs saving
the trader joe haul
it's not that simple
if you were closer
the end is near
coming undone
the new portrait
a new flight of stairs
you go your way, and i'll go mine
the next snow drift
being buttered up
last meal requests
a little bit up and to the left
Betty gives them four stars
i read the news today, o boy
bamboo sheets
don't open that door
to the moon alice
guys night out
the enormous white lie
what now?
the sea of distance
yellow peeps
the world can wait
the warm old coat
curfew....pfffft
when a war ends
kissing in the car
just say no
the holiday
the dry field
there is joy after all
peace on earth
another prince arrives
let it go
like a lion or lamb
laugh and listen
new friends and family
the morning after
hold it tight
prove me wrong
my thirst
a world apart
making preparations
adjustments
with desire gone
christmas morning
finding a small space
a giant hunk of red meat
should i do a ribbon too?
the ten benefits
bar hopping
not a big hugger
a day like that in winter
that Christmas spirit
i got you a cat
the office circa 1985
with arms above our heads
savor those days
it's a feather now
dear diary
hey, i've got eggnog here
the minimalist christmas
one more for the road
if you were here
i stir some more
why work anymore
the whispering bed
backing up the truck
the midas touch
it goes like this
waiting on a rainy day
mistakenly
tell me less
rollover and play dead
waiting at the lodge
perfectly imperfect
the lemon face
the magic wand
trains going somewhere
every time a bell rings
my ex tik tok girlfriend
under the willow tree
just suck it up
how the words just came
what i don't do
cold coffee
the road taken
perhaps
all of your tomorrows
i catch you smiling
the feast
pleasing no one
out of chaos
the bent nail
his cousin Bernadette
