lizard gazing through
you have nothing to fear from me
tiny fellow
save your fear for bird
you hide from him then you run
to catch up with him
haiku hushpuppy
i only wanted six
they gave me seventeen
bird bee me
equidistant fence cement pool
they don’t tell me stories
when birds and bees meet
they’re supposed to talk about
the birds and the bees
solo clear blue pool
she has never sung before
and forgot the words
“don’t worry be happy”
twice the size of other pools
warm pool cool wind
middle name worry
entire pool audience
splash yourself clapping
hardee’s hamburgers
charcoal broiled burgers hot dogs
saltwater fragrance
you can see the wind
blowing the smoke in the
opposite direction
yet entire pool
smells like hardee’s hamburgers
superhuman sense
three footlong hot dogs
taking up most of the space
in my mind and grill
.
