Christmas LED lights

Like laser pointers
they blind in red green blue as
they save the planet

Christmas cards

Photos we look bad
in. Braggy newsletter. That’s
how we keep in touch.

Unemployed Christmas

Can days be merry
and bright? Jobs – like ornaments –
fragile, out of reach.

Driving kids to camp

Flat mapped names turn in-
to forested hills, roads wind
towards adventure.

Senior Ball

Formally over
twelve years of learning to look
good on this one night.

College graduation

Cap, gown, diploma,
degree. A sense of self the
take-away that counts.

Prom group

She can’t stand her. He’s
her ex, so don’t include them.
Can’t we go alone?

First warm day

Rake leaves left over
from fall. Clean porch furniture.
Spring into action.

April Fool’s Day

not sure what’s so fun
about a day when we’re all
afraid we’ll get punk’d

Sexist comment from an unlikely source

Gay flight attendant
