Afternoon of June 21, 2025

 

 

she suspects I might be genetically predisposed

to abduction

by UFOs

~Patrick Sweeney




he made everyone feel they were poor listeners

~Patrick Sweeney




the demeanor of a man who flunked second grade

~Patrick Sweeney




our tired and poor still tired and poor

~Roberta Beach Jacobson




after 'hi' it was always who's paying for this long-distance phone call

~Patrick Sweeney




news fog - headlines reach dew point

~Dara Royal




he not the kind of guy to change his assigned seat

~Patrick Sweeney




avoiding my own playlist

~Patrick Sweeney




engaging me

in conversation

her stinky breath

~Tejendra Sherchan




six foot four man

six inch baby bunny

sharing secrets

~Belinda Behne




the conversation turned zodiacal

I put Cassius

on mute

~Patrick Sweeney




reunion

uneasily walking on

the University's grasses

~Patrick Sweeney




all

the daisies I ruined

for love

~Roberta Beach Jacobson




everyone should have an older brother

who says watch out for the werewolf

on the dark stairs

~Patrick Sweeney
