IN GOOD TIME






HAPPY
maybe if I fill
my world with
bright and
shiny
I’ll
be happy
maybe if I
shop until I drop
I can live
the rainbow
spectrum
of my world
so
little time
to convert my life
into plastic
palace of
magnificence
just a few hours
so I must splurge
every
which way

SNAKE
I am snake
always
curled up
somewhere
reading
William Blake
sticking out
my tongue at you
— no disrespect!
only to
taste
what your molecules
say
what they
wish to do
we can slip past, evade
each other,
not a problem, perfect
solution
unless
you set on gleaning
a smidgen of
my wisdom
wish
to dance; wish to talk
