Monster next door 2
A monster next door
knows I went to the store
food shopping.
He watched me coming home
with a half-full cart
of groceries.
He slams a door.
I unloaded groceries,
my shelves were bare.
He slams the door.
I took the cart outside,
cooked a lunch and ate.
He slams the door.
The monster wants to be fed.

Cat's tail
What is the purpose
of the cat's tail?
I do not know.
To walk
and hold it high.
When the cat eats
to lie down behind.
When the cat is lying
on the table
knocking down
my cigarette lighter,
cigarettes, scissors
and eyeglasses case.
I know it shows a mood.
To cover a nose
when it is asleep
curled up in one ball.
What is the purpose
of the cat's tail?
I don't know.
You have to ask the cat.
MEOW.

Brooks and rivers
are overflowing
from hurricane Lee.
Some roads are blocked.
"You can not get there."
To much of angry
and powerful water.
Yellow golden rods
are blooming
along the highway.
It's warm and humid,
but some nights
are in low fifties.
First maple tree leaf
turned yellow.

Black
To Hailey
Since you like black
I shall draw you
black horses, black cats,
black cows, black labradors,
black sheep and children
wearing black jeans,
and a little girl
running home
in her black shoes.
I lied.
I do not know
how to draw.
Happy Birthday!
