Fishing is
the most
laid back
method of
killing
something

Going forward,
in honor of the
poet ee cummings,
everything I voice
will be in
lower-case letters.

You’re gonna have to
go with me on this one.

Just always assume I am.

The first thing
my mom would do
with her birthday
present was shake
the box
***
shuffle shuffle shuffle
***
“What is it?” she’d ask with a grin
***
but I think,
deep down,
she already knew
it was just more
chicken bones

If after downloading
the Depeche Mode song,
“Enjoy the Silence”,
I had heard nothing
but actual silence —
I won’t mince words,
I would not have enjoyed it
I’m thinking about
the things we used
to do that rhymed
***
Like, riding a bus,
***
making a fuss,
***
passing a suss,
***
and waving at Russ.
***
Yes, I’m thinking
about the things
we used to do that
rhymed …

Why did Alexamanos
throw the butter
out of the window?
a.
Because he was
an undiagnosed
boutyronophobic!!!
