on predestination

there is no plan
beyond just this:
bees for honey,
flies for shit.

no one prays
to the god of
sporks except
drunks at KFC
& even then the
slaw goes every-
where but home

first fall morning:
driveway cat unfurls
beneath Ford F150

-
sauce, sauce, squirrel
Cadet Cub circles
battered apple trees

x
morning splits air
lawn gurgles sludge:
septic tank leakage

÷
across the creek
my father's razor
rusts in silence

tree on roof:
squirrels scurry
as chainsaws growl

a drop of ink

spreads out
in a glass
of water;
a log rots
in the woods
& the universe
expands in
whatever
cradle rocks
the universe
to dreaming
while babies
sleep & light-
houses break
beneath waves,
salt drying on
so many cheeks.

my third grade teacher
mrs. nelson was right
that nothing can
brighten your mood
like a good scratch-
n-sniff sticker so
maybe give one or
two to your local
neighborhood blow-
hard but not the
poop one because
jesus what kind of
message are you
trying to send?

the rich these days
want a new gilded age
yet have nothing
but trailer-trash tastes
with dollar-store
bric-a-brac
spray painted gold
shoved in every
conceivable space
& their hearts are
as empty as the words
that they weave
building temples
at Narcissius' feet

#badmicropoetry #poetry #doggerel

yes the sunset
is beautiful but
so is dog shit
yet no one
likes my selfies
