Stephen King films

We longed for The Mist
and 1408 like kids
dreaming of Christmas.

Another late night

Idea of early
to bed rare as a rainbow
and just as fleeting.

Moral chicken

They saw a film on
how poultry is killed. They cluck
as I eat hot wings.

Bad reaction

All day my eyes itched
as if they were allergic
to viewing my life.

November rain

Wet dampness always
seems colder than that first soft
warm blanket of snow.

Laundry basket

Socks multiply when
mated yet produce offspring
that never quite match.

Domestic landscapes

Dishwasher rumbles
like a distant storm. Water
churns, carries debris.
