Production of Stuffiness

Kids trapped in structure
Voices quiet, art revised
Treated like widgets

Rocks

The ecosystem
Reacts to abrupt changes
Don’t throw rocks for sport

Grey

The rain masked the day
I saw shapes and heard a hum
An insipid day

Locked Up Words

Words that summon gush
Others are trapped in a vault
We wait for a leak

Kids Return

When the kids are gone
The clock is on speed and steals
The sound of silence

A Truce

A slow afternoon
Music, InStyle, and the couch
My week’s olive branch

Closing Up Shop

The dust blew away
And I finally breathed in
Air that didn’t sting

Kindergarten Concert

The little boy said
That’s right I’m a dragonfly
Worth the early flight

Corporate Chess Game

Leader announcement
Boxes move on the org chart
And the game changes

Pauses

The clock challenged me
Then detour signs took their turn
But I was not stopped
