POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Don't make me take my pearls off.
Watch and see
I'll end the war in Ukraine
within the first 24 hours
if elected president
Trump said
Day 21:
Russian troops push
toward Pokrovsk
as we speak
Trump remains silent
far too busy raging war
on our democracy
to maintain control:
commuting his militia
—J6 insurrectionists—
who'll beat police officers
and the national guard,
replacing qualified personnel
with predators and drunks
he deems loyalists,
cancelling health research
education...

A Night in the Museum
I was attending a meeting
hosting a keynote speaker
whom I did not know
During the presentation

frustrated by our discourse
abruptly blurted out:
"We don't use oracle cards...

Deeper Underground I Go
I can’t count the number
of poems I’ve expelled
beyond the busted seams
of experience
As if those seams could keep
the poems from my voice
How many emotions
were galactic tapestries
unraveling from a solar plexus
storing so many lives
How many verses reflect
the present
versus the ghosts
of a former century
And yet,

The trick to navigating
the bowels of the beast
is not succumbing
to illusion over...
