Insomnia

I can't sleep right now.
Something scary from Berwyn!
I watch Svengoolie.

Hooray, hooray, it's the first of May...

You silly Commies,
Labor Day is not in May.
It's in September.

NO!

Whatever it is,
at work: "No, it just can't be done."
Think inside the box.

Lap of Luxury

Privilege's children
talk about luxury cars
that daddy buys them.

Swinging at balls

At the batting cage,
I face a machine that throws
yellow balls to me.

Bookends

This winter cold came
And went with dangerous cold.
Like frozen bookends.

Transitions

She's in Milwaukee,
Looking to get a job there,
and move our home there.
