Fiscal cliff

Cost to average
household: Five thousand. Voting
the bums out: Priceless.

 

New Year’s Eve: things left undone

Now’s the time to look
back at what was forgotten
and recall with love.

Visitors to a dead blog

WordPress stats: twenty-
two-thousand views in ’12. This
despite no new posts.

Last day of the year

Where did they go? Wake.
Eat. Work. Pay bills. Each the same.
Days blink by, all gone.

College acceptance letters

Envelope size, thick
or thin. We look for clues, don’t
like to be surprised .

Hair stylist issues

Bad trim, worse blow dry.
Pitying looks from strangers.
Do I cut and run?

Add New Post

Neglected, ignored.
Like faithful dogs, blogs wait for
their masters’ return.

 

 

Last day of 16

Some days she doesn’t
fit into her skin, too young
to be old this soon.

Hoarders on A&E

What we hold onto
owns us drowns us sedates us
slow death by shopping.

Ocean waves

I type in a dim
dark room listening to surf.
There’s an app for that.
