poetry and prose by stephen chute
Thursday, October 24, 2024
a cacophony of sound
it's an oil
change,
then a filter, then the tires,
then
the exhaust,
then
the wipers, then the engine
light that
won't go off.
it's a long day
at the dealership
waiting
in the lounge with two
tv's on,
and music raining down.
i miss
my horse.

tomorrow things will change
the slow evaporation of grief
the lines will be long outside the therapist's doo...
one last request
the dopamine fix
what was on the menu
a roses neck
the red rooster behind him
the empty circles
what will we line our birdcages with now?
the brand-new Chevrolet on the block
the years are getting longer
oh those high school memories
More of Moore
there's no hesitation with her vote
a hint of mint
my new talking scale
i was raised a middle-class girl and my mother had...
the bouncing loaf of olive bread
the last place celebration
a second chance in the afterlife
a toy in every box
we've lost our way
someone i won't forget
what we want to hear
when the bath water goes cold
something i said?
we are nothing but ants
Crispy beef and you
those blue suede shoes
late for my own wedding again
my new best friend
people on boats waving
the big game is on today
indecisive napping
what's the name of that movie he was in?
American Thespians
they almost seem human at times
the enormous tree has fallen
Cruella plays the long game
the lone bottle of hot sauce
the most respectful divorce ever
where should we move after retirement?
the slow crawl home
round table discussion in hell
done working for the man
the drive-thru Liquor Store
after the election is over
low hanging fruit
the calming effect of you screaming
the starter home
the Verizon man
i know better, but i do it anyway
the two syllable rule of eating
the suggestion box
fighting the law
turning heads
a train passing through
a cacophony of sound
banjo music down the street
we need to sit down and talk
spare change to get around
do you like pets?
with her hand on a large carving knife
let's pretend everything is okay
the tipsy candidate
another morning
lost in translation once more
home waiting for you
and now i don't care
the other side
just push the mail through the slot
Swanson's three piece tv dinner
a plethora of dump trucks
a day in the life of a candidate
what about the moon?
when they no longer need you
what about Viking?
the drugs of youth
who can possibly be undecided at this point?
did you hear what i heard?
turn it towards the light
away it goes
the right death
indecision
the subway violinist
running on empty
if only i watched where i was walking
where are you?
where have all the turkeys been?
i wish his wife was home
early shopping spree
as the band plays on
the court jester
the anatomy of girls
the morning fire
her husband's room
alone at 67
playing funeral
i don't want to go home
