~ Sleeping on the back porch Mr Spock on stilts
looked over the wall and made it plain,
It would be much wiser for you to sleep in your own bed.
I picked up my pillow and went back to bed.

~Jeff and Sheree had a new business at the Mall
selling bathroom art. The horses out back had
gotten loose and my sister and I rode out to round
them up before thay got on the highway. Black
sheep dotted the dry fields and I stopped in at the
widowed farmer's wife for some food. Sitting
on a wooden chair in the yellow cramped kitchen,
old Russian men conspired in another room while
she took bread out of the oven. Dave Peck stopped
by to invite me to the drive in for a hamburger
and fries, I was surprised he remembered me.

~ The doorknob turned, rattled violently hard with a vengeance
I knew she would get though sooner or later.
Sobbing out loud on my knees, layering and pressing
in place brown packaging tape across the doorjamb
to buy more time.

I like it!
