the diminished circle
saying goodbye
is not so hard anymore.
you just
stop calling, stop
texting, stop
stopping by.
you erase your loves,
your pale
relationships
from the past. you step aside.
it's time.
it's long overdue,
your circle grows
smaller.
it's just life, no need
to cry.

these are not the worst of times
to each his own
after all she's been through
enthusiasm
something left behind
a white bowl of soup
twenty odd years
the angle of the morning sun
finding the middle ground
just go to work, be thankful and quit whining
nuclear winter
the short cut
The Attic Diary
a box of polaroid photos
Hanoi Jane's advice
the middle ground
march of the penguins
noises in the night
there's a monkey nearby with a banana
a good clean window
his demons are legion
if i get pregnant
power lines and hot air balloons
cracker jacks not drugs
our new heroic women
before my shift at starbucks begins
marshmallows on a long stick i found on the ground
displaying the new butter dish online
when times were good, really good
marking off time
did i wake you when i got up?
a hundred shovels full
chasing your tail
look both ways before crossing
the stamp collector
triage in apartment 3 G
the diminished circle
measuring life by coffee
dizzy from the back row with popcorn
familiar faces
Queen of the Apple Butter Parade
the weather channel all day long
the bright light tells all
where is the milkman?
not a member of the Donner Party
invasion of the left-wing lunatics
the perfectly dug out car
when to take the little blue pill
honey, where did you put the knitting needles?
is He pulling our leg
kings and queens
when will the snow start?
is this what we voted for?
tired of crazy people in the road
potatoes 24 7
my new Somalian financial adviser
you have to kill it first
grief is a funny thing
i'm over you, i've moved on
a clarification on clarified butter
some days you just aren't feeling it
a new Hallmark Movie
the night Ellen and her wife decided to come home
the town of Greenland
it's Disney land now
dreaming about the dream job
running into the old boss from the mainframe days
very early love
expiration dates are for the weak
Operation Blanche DuBois
lonely days and lonely nights
abolish ice?
rosemary olive bread
stocking up before the big storm arrives
a trail of puppy chow
oh, that's funny
you need to sign and initial every page
tip of the iceberg
Tab and low fat potato chips
formerly known as the coffee table
so why aren't people happy?
the classified job ads
welfare birds
stand six feet away
all these polyester blends must go
have i become a hoarder?
Subpoenas falling from the sky like confetti
A Picture of Bill in the whirlpool
a simple solution to the problem in Minnesota
who are these people?
back to square one
the shrinking world
frozen food
the sea glass letter
the stuck lid
mother's homemade remedies
the funeral expense whole life insurance
anyone can paint that
Bill and Hillary, Stand by Your Man
the never ending clown show in Minneapolis
