poetry and prose by stephen chute
Tuesday, April 16, 2024
a little off the top
a little off
the top,
and the sides, i used
to say.
leave a little
to comb,
to brush back.
now i just say,
everything goes,
take it all
with a very sharp shave.

not again, how can this be?
the bongo is a good choice for protest marches
finding Sylvia
the pretty fruit
the rudderless ship
three cups by noon
zoo mornings
where are the grown ups?
necessary Rx
the fish fry
summer margaritas
strangely, we get along
patching things up
the marching sheep of ignorance
shrinkage
the baby in the stroller
deciding our future through dodge ball
we're still here
the faces of hate and fear
sailing towards morning
captured in time
the bird cage
the dogs are barking
my grandmother's protests
just a rock
old people gambling
my daughter's champion basketball team
social warriors
breaking the silence
normal day on a city street
to somewhere we will go
making themselves at home
make some noise
hey mister
modern convenience
the back page war
37 percent chance of rain
she had soft hands
someone to look up to
don't fall asleep just yet
living on the edge
the new flame
Wally and Beaver
trouble at the dentist's office
a strand of your hair
i can barely speak English
return to sender
i read the news today, oh boy
bluebird on the sill
sugary persuasion
forty feet up
the lunar seas
there's no fixing you
dear diary
she's in a taxi
eggs before the nest
Saturday night at the hardware store
the breakfast decree
solving the carjacking pandemic
fifty percent chance of anything
sugar and spice
frayed friendships
hopefully with a scar
the poet laureate delayed
the clang of a cow bell
finding clues to a disappearance
beauty is fading
getting it out of their system
the little things
the side arm fling
fatherly advice
i love them all equally
take two of these and call me in the morning
the hourly gas price fluctuation
legs up in the easy chair
hands on the wheel
she was ready for anything
i know your favorite color
get over yourself
what is a woman?
the first job
what will end it all
true art
after the Park Hyatt
what if life was a bowl of cherries?
death to the lobsters
zero marriages
nine innings of bad food
the all Saints bracelet
a cult of one
life lessons
25 dollar gin and tonic
the firetrucks arrive
two poached eggs
no ticket needed
orphans
somehow, here we are
my apologies to celery
cry me a river
sunrise fishing
