Death By Cheerios
The honey-nut variety
From half a dozen of its ilk.
Just bone dry without any milk,
No almond, soy or coconut.
I honestly can’t say the words.
I’m eating it like raisin turds.
There goes one flying by my face,
I tried to toss it, missed a space.
I’ll never find it on the rug,
These bastards do me like a drug!
And 6 months later, petrified,
I’ll find it laying where it died.
It tried committing suicide,
With other brothers mummified.
It’s really gross, I’ll relocate
Just ‘cause of something that I ate.
I’ll catch my death because I froze
In my car eating Cheerios!

Knot Now
Procrastination
often, to the brink
slipping, I think &
drowning in an
abyss of PANIC!
Any attempt to
mindfully dismiss
all angst or bliss,
to not think
to not rethink
to not over think
knowing full well
even the smallest
ort or iota will retie
the knot of anxiousness.
However,
at some moment
before the future
putting off tasks
is often easier
than yesterday’s
agenda but still I
persist with this joyless
entanglement.
I wish I knew why. . .
I’ll figure it out
tomorrow.

Lucky
The old sea dog, and his mutt,
soiled with wine stains after
a cold night of Two Buck Chuck,
staggers as he leans over
too much, peering, trying to
see in the first light of day.
Looking for ciggie butts on
an abandoned pier where the
old carousel's boarded up.
The tide is still high off shore,
and gulls languish overhead.
Sea dog hits gold, a Lucky's!
It's only a dank, half-smoked,
stepped-on cigarette, but still
he's smiling his toothless grin.
• Two Buck Chuck = Charles Shaw Wines sell for $1.99 a bottle at Trader Joe's.
• Lucky = Lucky Strikes brand.
