Panera’s

Cup of coffee gets
you free wireless. Suburban
pretty people lunch.

Jump the shark

My life is content
driven, looking for the next
big thing to embrace.

Same old lament

National TV
talk show called me to be a
guest. What will I wear?

Tasteless

Reading haikus is
like eating chestnuts. You stop
after a bad one.

Bedtime

Why does burrowing
under thick down comforters
bring such sheer delight?

Motivation

Decided last night –
Caribbean for Christmas.
Will work for travel.

Irrational

I love the too big
coffee table that takes up
most of this small room.

Moral chicken

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

Domestic landscapes

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

Unnecessary

The espresso cups,
sleekly designed, just one more
thing to put away.
