An online commonplace book
My sadness is packed
inside Home Depot moving
boxes. I’m finished.
Sometimes the grass is
greener. Building four’s oak rocks
a tailored moss suit.
Bones spur. Cartilage
tears, splits. Pain takes her sweet time.
Diagnosis: old.
Hours stealing years.
Pulled over for light speeding.
Mom…are we there yet?
MCA. Mike D.
AD ROCK. Madonna kissed punk
rap domination.
The neighbors planted
roses, soil dark and rich.
Wait. Those are tulips.
Blinded eyes. Voices
silent. Splintered benches sit
alone. Football rests.
Penalty given.
Gloved fingertips stretch beyond
her limitations.
Gandalf believed in
Bilbo, Shire burglar.
The dwarves? Not so much.
