The Nuthouse

Welcome to the nuthouse
live forever amongst the almonds
cashews and peanuts
a fine collection
for no purpose at all

 

Captain Jack

ooo parking lot cleaner ooo

with little burly brushes spinning for me
eeeejjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj
round and round on its singular front tire

oh Captain Jack
of white and blue stripes
get those troops out of bed
so early
eeeejjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj

and there
to the city sun
on the morning empty lot

good morning!
eeeejjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj

whose parking spot shall I stall
when you come for me?

Captain Jack
the leaves and the wrappers
will not do

The Mushroom

Once upon a time there was a mushroom

the choice was fork or spoon
and so I ate it
right from the ground
without making a sound

how strange
and yet how bleak
my body became as red as a beet

I clutched my throat
and cursed and stomped
but to no avail

and in the moment of lapse
I began to collapse
into my own entrails
