Missed your text message.
Going to the dining hall.
Had a picnic there.

Please: When? Where? Why? Who?
Some physical descriptions?
Could be anyone.

Hawai'i

He’s not that beastly.
He’s a mongoose with rabies.
And has mosquitoes.

You know ’bout chiggers?
They burrow into your skin,
drop off, become nymphs.

Eyes High

The subway tunnels.
You seldom see the ceiling.

But I know it’s there.

What a Hint

Two men just dropped by.
They left me eighty boxes.
Guess it’s time to move.

Warmth

A lawn, some sail boats.
Old brick peeks through a dull mist.
A happy train ride.

Open Face

I went to JCrew. “I thought you worked here,” they said. Made that mistake twice.

Replies

Was it your wardrobe
Or your stunning t-shirt fold?
Future in retail!

american apparel.

Thursday through Monday.
Plus, you always go shopping
In just your undies.

It's My Party

I seldom regret.
Usually waiting is fine.
Sometimes it is not.

Theology

Be fearful of Lent.
If He hasn’t yet risen,
Aren’t Christians at risk?

Replies

Nope. The coast is clear.
Satan UFCs all day
With Zombie Jesus.

Portability and Power

One Laptop per Child? Get off it, Negroponte. I love my Acer.

Replies

Says two-laptop boy
To one-laptop school-aged child:
“Get a job, flunky.” (kjo)

Music Around Us

Carol of the Bells.
Pocahontas. Evita.
What is in common?

Funeral parlor playlist.
Someone thought it decorous.
