“Victimless crime”

Alan Dershowitz
said about prostitution
the lie men believe.

Eliot Spitzer

When a righteous man
is caught with his pants down, it’s
likely he’ll get spanked.

Fuzzy logic

posted to my Twitter account

I need sleep, but I * need to work but I need sleep * to work can’t think straight.

Nearing seventeen

Unaware of her
beauty, unselfconsciousness
gives each movement grace.

High school play

Geeks transformed into
leading men stop hearts, but then
revert back next day.

Duct cleaning

Heating system dust –
particles of previous
occupants’ lives, selves.

Snow in March

Hats, gloves, put away
in optimism return
for winter’s last gasp.

Lost cell phone

Left in Manhattan
cab. Friends’ numbers, pix of my
kids in strangers’ hands.

For whom the bell tolls

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

Trying Twitter

Emily Bronte * labored quietly but I * scream “Here are my words!”
