poetry and prose by stephen chute
Wednesday, April 22, 2026
held down by leather straps
some mornings
i barely
have the strength,
or ambition
to chew through the leather
straps
that are holding me
down,
keeping me in place,
covering
my mouth and restraining
me from
the day ahead.

cave man drawings
clearing out the monogrammed towels, etc.
so what's the skinny on her now?
the long black hair on the pillow
mentally retired
women love cheese
the lack of mental institutions
held down by leather straps
the falling price of heavy cream
quit whining and go home
Virginia
jumping for joy
the apple temptation
Bob was less judgmental
the long black snake
walking on eggshells everyday
little green men, etc.
making a heart
the trampoline
music from a window
a flurry of thumbs
Farrah's red bathing suit poster
how's the weather in your state, Mrs. Wilson
i need you to do something for me
you can't lose what you never had
the call of the wild
tired, paranoid, and hungry
jumping off the high dive
before the kids jump in
you can't make this stuff up
leaving it all behind
the yellow school bus
maybe you need a hobby
who's knocking at the door?
Father Smith eating a hot dog at 7-11
can't stop what's coming
the cruelty of brothers and sisters
no twisting in the wind
his hand in the cookie jar
at some point it all goes boom
dogs know
people on the inside
walking the fence
the park paparazzi
new to this world
they're serving lunch now
a loaf of gold
a mysterious white van
temporary diamonds
the Swanson tv dinner
let it be
the monthly updates
a body on the ground
between screen and window
she saved it just the same
another game, perhaps
your comfort zone
becoming the ostrich
the Oz you promised me
so many moving parts
what love could look like
i can't wait to get home
dad in a box
check in with my assistant
don't be white
short ride to Lincoln Center
that's why i like you
teaching my doctor
soon goes
your summer skin
it's over, it's not over, rinse and repeat
impatient
what do you want now?
a bucket of fried chicken
man's best friend
breaking down a fifty
some like war
living large at the dentist office
the best neighbor ever
the human pina colada
what to buy in the gift shop
can you post a photo please?
the horizontal hold
the progressive left
no later than nine
beast of burden
crickets chirping
the conflict within
the enormous pink ham
the egg hunt
they'll be moving soon
fly me to the moon
ah, those fearful early years
you've changed, she says
two hundred dollar jeans
letting in stray cats
there are other things to worry about
pull the plug and wait
the annual check up
their usual days
