The Recipe of My Tribe


 

½ cup of OCD

2 heaping cups of sass

1 full stick of hug-it-out

a pinch of real kick-ass

¾ cup of therapy

1 cup of half-past-youth

5 tablespoons of loyalty

3 cups of brutal truth.

Get a Cat They Said

except I’m only allowed to pet him

every other Thursday,

and now I need a new couch.

an old man sports a toothless grin,

grateful to be topside of the grass

World Water Day

With the wastage of nectar

By the unscrupulous poor...

Don't you protest against it?

Protest? Against the dead?

laughing

at your funeral today—

cognitive dissonance
