self-persona (2017)
50 – and still draping
the living room curtains
behind the nape,
chasing mice out the kitchen
with a hard head and soft shoe…
could be worse,
could dress my neck
with my favorite rita dove
dust jacket and chase down
rejection letters
like they were mastodons…
well…
mice or mammoths,
meat is meat, right?

Nice!
Very interesting:)
Why is that so funny?
good! i often write dark political or social commentary that when i do utilize humor i’m happy when others catch it.
