Carry On



If you are reading this
I’m already dead.

If so,
I want you to know,
That,
There is schnitzel in the fridge,
Lemons,
In a bowl,
On the kitchen bench.
I trust you 
To do the right thing.

I’m sorry, 
I’m all out of Chablis.

Modesty


There was once a town where the lady who owned the dress shop would protect the modesty of her window mannequins by placing slips on them when she changed their attire with the seasons.

I lived in that town.

Now I don’t.

Twisties


Do you remember the time
Your flatmate let me in
And when I entered the kitchen
You were sitting in the window

Slender and wonderful,
Framed in light,
Peacefully eating Twisties?
You smiled at me.

I picked on you
For eating Twisties.
I had to.
You were too beautiful.

The Birth Of Comedy


Inside the cave a man dances like a fool, to keep the people laughing and distracted from the storm. 

Outside the cave a shaman dances like a fool, to keep the people frightened and focused on the storm.

Flautist


A flautist
Is a feather,
Floating
On the wind,
Seeking
A hat
To adorn.
