For whom the bell tolls

From an estate sale –
pendulum clock. Westminster
chimes now count my days.

Among extraordinary women

I am the dull one, struck
mute by accomplishment
what I do, nothing.

haikouldn’t ask it of you

“Read my poem? Please?”
In real life I’d get blank stares.
Here, you’re back for more.

Dubious milestone

Just over five months
This one four hundred fifty
Art or wasted time?

I’ve lied to you

A haiku a day?
Not quite. Some days the tap runs,
some days it’s bone dry.

Like a lover who
wanders I return here to
check in now and them

WV Oscar night tradition

They walk the carpet.
We eat takeout Chinese and
scream for our favorites.

Sephora

Kid in candy shop
I dab on product in search
of my true colors.

Watching after 2 am

TV morphs into
loser land infomercials
for acne weight loss

Wasted Saturday night

We watch bad TV
eat microwave popcorn feel
guilty not really.
