Before the invention of the chair

good-men

&

good-women

used to sit on each other

Some of

the mothman’s greatest prophecies

were written

by porch light

Call me irresponsible,

because — really

I will just forget that you did anyway

I don’t want an

open casket funeral

unless

it’s held many years later

Sorry —

you’d think a baby on stilts

would be impressive to me

but he still only came up

to my chest

When I buy a bag of plain m&m’s

I also like to buy a bag

of shelled peanuts

-just to keep my options open-

I think I could face a firing squad

if I was allowed

a cup of water afterwards
