THREE SHORTIES

Post by jim turner » December 3rd, 2010, 7:26 pm

and they didn’t even name it after him

He mistook that behind-him steamroller
for a bent-wheeled, rattling baby stroller.
Unheard, its driver yelled, “You jerk!
“Git outa my way! I gotta lotta work!”
Now, as thinly macadamized meat,
he’s part of the city’s newest street.

Night Call

I got the message my bladder sent:
Midnight! Time to get up and pee!
Cursed the darkened house, couldn’t see.

Come day, I’ll find out where I went.

Testosterone Walking

Soft, magnetic night.
Awake, her window beckons.
I am drawn away.
