poetry and prose by stephen chute
Friday, December 27, 2024
so much to do, so little time
as i lie
in bed, staring up at the fan.
i think
about buying
a new fan.
how old
is this fan?
it's dirty.
and then my thoughts
drift to other
things.
i hope that
there's not
a nuclear holocaust
this year.
there's so much i need
to do
around this house.

club soda and lime
when the Godly mask slips
train hits man on tracks
is it true, or just you
i'm on my way, make room
picking Jake up at 7-11
the ticking watch
so much to do, so little time
sending out holiday kisses
watching the ball drop alone
my holy baby steps
those years are done
a thread of wood
the NYT blurb said it will change your life
heads or tails
it's not a straight line to us
if only i had a secret to tell you
red birds on snow
socks and slippers
taking in the wrong peeps for the holidays
it's the thought that counts
talking after the show is over
no patching here
when they want to turn the page and you don't
so much we still don't know
we're halfway home
early Christmas morning
our heads in the clouds
lorton reformatory
i like your boots, dear
for better or worse, it's just wind
small cheer and great welcome make a merry feast
the long night
the human cookie
the prodigal cow
holidays in south beach
one red glove
the best gift ever
holiday warfare
the cost of poetry
and then the thought passes
dying on a pot of gold
a country cupcake in hand
a box of life
the winter journey
sugarplum and fairies
the secret of a long marriage
as the train pulls away
taking the subway
we can fix this
stay away from mirrors
the mega party church
let's play victim
when the mask slips
one of Santa's many helpers
my new home in the city
this is a bad idea
What's going on?
awaiting snow
airing their grievances
summertime flowers
none of this is my fault
the crowd going by
streets of dim lights
eating a giant turkey leg
kissing Donna Reed
no resolutions
complete self awareness
the frost of night
first glimpse at nudity as a child
the basement reading room
buying a birdcage for the newspaper
i like what you've done with that tree this year
Joe's hardware in town
a pet free zone?
please be aliens up there
i'll pray for you
the rose bushes have thorns
hard candy to find
Irwin's sudden departure
a goal for the day
the sloe gin celebration
a drone for Christmas
the bucket list in reverse
bringing sand back with me
when the hunter gets captured by the game
the first day of school
bathroom decorating
we can't sleep for different reasons
cutting through the fog
those sticky keys
the talk turns serious
i regret that i will not be able to attend the dinner
the third and final wife
to be blind
the juicier bone
a savior in overalls
nothing to see here, all is well
president elect
what knees are for
