Trying to make work
indulgent, a nine-to-five
wage slave’s fantasy.
Because of the media
based on a poem written by M.
They say I need a
man. Chocolate. But an eye
lash curler’s enough.
original source:
I don’t need chocolate to eat or a man in my life
I just think I do
because of the media
All I really need is my eyelash curler.
Easter basket
Malted milk eggs, Peeps,
solid bunnies (eaten ears
first) hide in fake grass.
Hoarders
Invested with deep
meaning, treasures buried by
trash. Dust, dirt their shroud.
Levenger
Fine fountain pens, ink,
leather folders make work seem
like gracious living.
Paperless Christmas
Being green we use
fabric bags old boxes to
wrap gifts. No trees die.
Christmas LED lights
Like laser pointers
they blind in red green blue as
they save the planet
Unemployed Christmas
Can days be merry
and bright? Jobs – like ornaments –
fragile, out of reach.

all day it follows me from
room to room in heat.
