Problem

In bad rains bathroom
ceiling leaks. A slow tick tells
of water stains mapped.

Can’t sleep 6

At 6:30 they
awake to find I’m still up.
The curse of deadlines.

Morph

You think you know me.
Carefully constructed, I
reinvent daily.

Online

Anonymity
becomes us all as we put
our second life first.

Writer’s block

Some days the words spread
smoothly. Other days they stick,
like peanut butter.

Cyberjunkie

I live for numbers.
Check my website stats hourly.
Page view addicted.

Secret

I’m writing during
the day. Quiet house, others
gone. The muse comes out.

PSAT

Tomorrow she takes
a test that may very well
determine her life.

October 12, 2007

Life is a series
of trial runs. So when practice
is over, it’s time.

Amazement

People link to me.
Complete strangers think my words
have validity.
