On distant shores

Sleep comes like a tide.
Evenings at home, we drift off
heads back, mouths open.

Reflection

Dressing room mirror
replaced by funhouse looking
glass. Not me in there.

Oceanic Flight 815

Crashed. Met Tailies. Then
Others. Hatch blew up.  Kate caged.
Got Lost about there.

Writer’s strike

Reality makes
me sick. Going through laugh track
cop show withdrawal.

Urban outfitted

Going to New York
City. I’ve bought black clothing,
black low-heeled shoes.

Before Lost season 4 begins

Speed-viewing seasons
one through three’s like life in the
hatch. Push the button.

Forced

Disappointment like
a kidney punch makes it hard
to smile through the pain.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

He had a dream but
his murder was our nightmare.
It’s time to wake up.

Theatre of the mind

Never read the play
before you see it performed.
There’s too much drama.

Toil and trouble

Cleaning is like con-
fession. You’re surprised by dirt
under the surface.
