18 Years Later

Two

brothers

not speaking

for 18 years,

a lifetime wasted

on misunderstanding

missed opportunity and

fate.  Reunited finally

by driving their father’s Morgan car

to Calabria to spread his remains.

**  I went to the Italian Film Festival yesterday and saw this comedy—18 Years Later was very good and extremely funny.

Make Me Hot

Make me hot

I want to sizzle

like an egg sunny side up

with my edges lightly browned

crisp

no humdrum lines

or snot

diminishing a

first impression.

I want them

to inhale

my scent

like hungry dogs

hot on the trail

of a

meaty

thigh

bone

dripping

with

drop dead sinew

and pearly white

panache.

Emotional Muggers

An Emotional Mugging

is calling up your family

expecting an earful

but getting

an exploding doormat  instead.

is thinking your friends

have your best interests

in mind and finding they’ve

relished eating your heart out.

Emotional muggers

know something

nasty about you

and aren’t afraid to use it.

Emotional muggers

can cripple you

with their love.

Spiders

Spider ling’s balloon
over tiny strands of silk
thread- trapeze artists.

Steel spiders muscle 
circus owner, draw sideshow
acts to live wire.

Spider vein try-out’s
announced in carnival ad
beach sandals welcome.

Trending Pointless

I admit it

I am

not the sharpest knife

in the drawer.

Actually I hail from

a whole set

of dull knives.

In fact, the sharpest one

is currently afflicted with

a pitting problem. No cure

missing some stainless parts

if you know what I mean.

It is surprising

shocking really

that not even one

sibling in the drawer

has an ounce of steel  

or any hidden alloy

of any cutting edge value.

Apparently
when the big guy upstairs

was doling out sharpeners

we all

skipped class.

I must admit-- I’m worried  

the makeup exam

appears to involve

massive pumpkins

and no one’s trained

in carving

except of course

our distant cousin

an ancient

serrated edge

with a long handle

sketching a subliminal

outline.

Multiverse--cinquain

More than
One--is it true
that there is more than ONE!
Maybe we’ll get one more chance to
survive.

 Matter
 exists, to learn
 our origin, stars
 progress, energy amplified
 study.

 Science
 Mathematics
 divide reality
 Quantum theory resides within
 space time.
