Tin Can Telephone
I rummage through mountains
of tin cans that pile outside the
doorstep. Their empty bodies dented
because mom can only afford discounts.
I find Campbell’s but it’s too savory
and I’ve never fancied green beans.
I sift and sort until the tangy, mildewed
scent of peaches catches my eye.
You’re exquisite! Round like the silver
moon and label still intact:
Halved Golden Peaches.
I dare not rinse your sticky remnants
before I cup you to my
impatient ear.
Oh how the sweet syrup rings
of her voice.

Carnivorous Sea
Tuesday, May 6, 2008
the helpless cries of steamed milk
are disturbed by
neckties,
negotiations,
and firm handshakes.
I grasp your
glazed, ceramic hand
and pull it
towards my lips.
I sip you then
thank you
for your warmth
and my escape.
wrote that little ditty in toronto. that's right, CANADA!!!
ps. happy cinco de mayo!

NUTS!
i'm eating this mixture of RICE CRACKERS right now, but there seems to be more NUTS (almonds, peanuts, and the nut that everyone hates: the cashew) than RICE CRACKERS in it! I purchased RICE CRACKERS because i wanted to eat RICE CRACKERS, not NUTS. so if you happen to work in the RICE CRACKER industry and you are reading this, remember: more RICE CRACKER, less NUT!
