the second option
i'm
guilty as charged.
guilty
about so many things,
too many
to count.
your complaints
are real
and reasonable.
put me up against the wall
and end it
once
and for all.
or you could just
move out.

VHS tapes
two for the price of one
the single thread
the secret to a happy life
tell me your problems, the doctor is in
the blanket hog
the lucky rabbit's foot
people think i'm friendly
a new career
i don't know what i'm doing
the pink chiffon dress
the thin yellow moon
escape
the antler hat
the lemon drop in culottes
where is your money? we miss you.
the Sunday kitchen
i've lost interest in apples
what's the proper number of plants one should have
let the night roll on
before we even go
something's happening here
the souvenir sunburn from Cancun
jungle land
the 11 a.m. Kaiser appointment
finding a way to ignore the world
applying for the dishwasher job
a slow roll through Hot Shoppes
natures way
some birds are okay
let's go out for breakfast
going into the repair and restore shop
the enormous wasp nest
don't you dare help our city
the tunnel of love
will it help? it might
crossing the stream barefoot
will there be jello in heaven
4 piece spicy
breaking bread
with faith and doubt
send in the drones, bombs away
the landlord at the door
like bugs in a kitchen when the light goes on
i have no one to blame
you've lowered your expectations about me
the Pulitzer collected poems
the smell of fresh cut grass
something bad is about to happen
the lady holding the bag
when waiting on trees
three hours late for dinner in Baltimore
a cat with nine lives
a better life to come
cradle rocking
nothing is lost
it's a mad mad world
the Visa card
the disco ball at Cracker Barrel
saying farewell to the mint green tile circa 68
the fading suns
operator, please hold
i don't need no good for nothing man
these boots are made for walking
a walk down Primrose lane
the music man in California
with buckled boots dripping
clicking the ruby slippers
Abe Lincoln's face
Sunday morning church bells
the manager's special
reduction in pets
easing into the far right lane
taking the CNN survey
revenge is a lifelong mission
not so grand grandmothers
a winter sun
finding new role models for young men
into the high shelf they go
a summertime stroll through the park at midnight
so happy together
where will the photos go?
in spite of things
the next kiss will be our first kiss
the new dog is on the clock
her black leather outfit with matching boots
finding satisfaction in drops
waking up in a ball of sweat
difficult driving on Prince street
the plump berry running
VHS tapes
irrational thinking blinded by hate
this is how they kiss in France
Florence nightingale
i know, i know
too much of a bad thing
of one mind
the good side of the bed
forever friends
where are they?
