Three Poems
Talking to my dad
That brick house
Last week
Had about a hundred
Jack-o-lanterns
Of all sizes.
Well, not all sizes.
That would mean an
Infinite number of pumpkins
Each with their own
Unique size.
But a whole lot
Of pumpkins
For sure.
***
A response from your partner which shows
that the flirty line you just said may not
have made as much sense as you were
hoping that it would
I'm sorry
I misheard
You
I thought
You were
Saying
ALL PEOPLE
Should respect
ALL
1) humans
2) therapists
3) and Grade A sexpots
But you were
Just saying
That
You respect me
Which is good
To hear
Thank you
I think
***
Untitled #69
I like to call him
One of my truest
Mentors.
Yes, we never met.
But meeting me
Can
Sometimes get in
The way of liking
Me. And
I've already had enough
mentors who hate
Me.
