Trying
to distinguish dreams
from my actual memories.
Did I doze off?
Often Running
For Melinda
From Melinda's text
I got
a zillion
things to get
complimented
groceries car wash
and of course the do
had me out of the crack
of dawn this winter morn.
Assemble!
Do you
recall
the Hulk
screaming,
Ironman
alive
at the end
of Avengers?
Okay…
I remember
the Chinese
delivery guy
at the door,
he didn't
know
the doorbell
was broken.
So, my cat
and kitten
let me know
he arrived.
Layla (kitten)
on top
of couch.
O’Malley(cat)
tries to get
out the door.
I lift him
to the arm
he unleashes
a Hulk-like
yell-hiss
at Layla,
unfazed.
I chuckle,
grab the
takeout
and think
about
shawarma.
Tickle Tickle
Wanna hear a light-
weight verse swaying
back, sashaying forth
you bob and giggle.
Or a piece that starts slow
against the rope-a-dope
you aren't expecting
the sarcastic jab,
sets up, an uppercut.
A knock knock-out punch-
line ending poem...
Kaboom!
