Oh now come on
Who doesn’t want a
Super power to be
Able to do things
Others cannot the only
Difference between a super
Power and an abomination
Is a person’s desire
To have be do
Even if you’re born
That very special way

Different
We simply don’t exist
If existence is recognizable
We are us is
Invisible assigned to the
Realm of ghosts not
Angels oh angels everyone
Wants to see someday
But us we you
And me people fear
Avoid because we’re different
SquarePeg
What about all those
Things that fall through
The cracks the undefined
The mislabeled misleading kinds
Those that lack conventions
The square pegs that
Will never fit into
Round holes where do
They all go when
Pedestals are reserved for
Heroes and not oddballs
I will tell you
One inch or five
Feet or miles upon
Miles upon miles off
Of your pointing finger
That’s where we go
Cricket
At last the crickets
I wish they’d slow
Wound much too tightly
Like a teenagers first
Sexual experience too fast
What’s needed is intimacy
The slowed heartbeat of
A sleeping lover the
Rolling surf of his
Shallow breathing absent of
The days deep sighs
But instead I hear
The chirp chirp chirp
Of now now now
Not sleep sleepy sleeping
MourningMorning
Tonight I won’t sleep
Until the moon does
The white fat man
That gobbles up stars
And once fully filled
Lays beneath West’s horizon
As his sister sun
Glows giddy for dawn
Wearing her yellow dress
