Wherefore
Art Thou, Earth?
What is the temperature
of Mercury? What cars do they drive
On Mars? Are they stupider
On Jupiter? More taciturn
Where Saturn turns? More in tune
In the heart of June
With the fourteen moons
Of Neptune? And is Pluto no more
than a dark Venus
in
Uranus?

Oh Human Hubris.
You’ve changed the clocks
not the world’s wobble
or rotation,
still you claim this
is
daylight saving.

What
Rites?
Can the leopard change its
spots,
star-lust actors leave lime lights,
flea trails
cease, wheals, red like pox,
itches cause less scratchy
sites?
Potshots, finger-thumb round blots,
fumble digits so large for mites,
lots of dots evade broad swats -
night
clots worse, when frights wait bites.

Hair
Dryer
My ex-girlfriend
never returned
the Conair 1600
hair dryer
she borrowed
the day she
broke
up with me.

Bad News
Death is unpleasant,
like the evening news.
Tonight’s top
story: “You’re dead.
Details
later.”
