Poem of the Week

It's Here - No It's There

silence
dandelion fuzz floating
no sound of landing
on a squirrel's head.

Did you think I could be fooled?
It's always “she said” “she said” “she said”
alienating attendee
never going to any events

while that half-written poem
awaits printing
hungry for black ink
on a virgin paper
there is nothing else to be done

a half-eaten cupcake
on top of the LCD monitor
the cat sits on.
