Gratitude: August 16, 2023

Real Estate

I have emotions
that are like newspapers that
read themselves.

I go for days at a time
trapped in the want ads.

I feel as if I am an ad
for the sale of a haunted house:

18 rooms
$37,000
I’m yours
ghosts and all.

I Feel Horrible. She Doesn’t


I feel horrible. She doesn’t
love me and I wander around
the house like a sewing machine
that’s just finished sewing
a turd to a garbage can lid.

Boo, Forever

Spinning like a ghost
on the bottom of a 
top,
I'm haunted by all
the space that I
will live without
you.
