It would appear that
Each one of us are rich in
Our own common sense

Woodchips
Exploded timbers
Scattered on gardens, playgrounds
Splinters, fat and thin
Mute
Want to talk
No shushing
No oppressing
No gagging
Nothing to say
Morning Routine
Cake
I think I’ll
Treat myself
This evening
Soda Pop
Fizzles and bubbles
Sugary and spicy-sweet
Lip-smack refreshing
It’s the End, Again
I’ve seen
the world end
a few times
Pizza
The golden-firm crust
Sweet-tangy marinara
Thick, stringy-hot cheese
Still
A scratch on the nose
A hand through my hair
A wiggle of the toes
I squirm in my chair
Secure
Emergency exits
are entrances, too
