I'm a Mural


in a shoebox, mouse hole

the interior of a photon


charge, mass, spin

as per commission


I'm the paint job on a space shuttle

orbiting the planet

~Jay Passer



How Ya Doin'?


I've been better

but I've been a lot worse

I'll take the better

~Jay Passer

Once your body was the sitar waiting for my touch

the sweet fragrance of your hair still lingers

My Poetry Keyboard

 

My keyboard is a lizard that bites.

My keyboard caught the train.

My keyboard makes jam from asparagus.

My keyboard is rain, is rain, is rain.

~Noah Berlatsky



nothing is as

unnerving as the


smoke


detector


chirping

~Jennifer Gurney



an elementary knowledge of flat-in-the-back craniology

would've forewarned you a lecture on the Tang Dynasty

was in the offing

~Patrick Sweeney



It's Been Raining All Day


But

other

than

that,

there's

nothing

worth

telling

you

about.

~Gabriel Bates



Yes, of course he's a conspiracy theorist

but he's the only one I know

who speaks in complete sentences

~Patrick Sweeney
