your poems r kool
u should sell them on ebay
Happiness Check:
Are you eating potato chips at your computer?
God, please don't let my final destination be New Jersey.

Sorry, but ...

I love you more
on vacation
than when we are home
scrambling for alarm clocks
Plastic blondes
Entertainment Tonight
Is that really
What you want?
"Hey, Mom
This box of pink poptarts
Is labeled organic
What do you ... think about that?
"
Ring the church bells
If there are any left to ring
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
Little pebbles
In my sneakers
Make me dance
A haphazard ballet
I'm looking for
The Breathing Room
in this city
of somber black suitcases
If I were
an adorable Japanese heroine fighter girl with hot-pink pigtails
I would karate-chop
Your knowing stare.
So there.
Marlon Brando
Was pretty hot
When he was young
Don't you think?
This book has fine print
I want my Cosmopolitan magazine
with the sex articles
please
Writing poems
passes the time
on a plane full of tourists
Let's Go Home
We have missed the bus
And paid extra cab fare
But we will soon be home
On our bed of feathers
New Jersey housewives
get awfully cranky
when their flights are delayed
Had you noticed that, Darling?
Drinks in the Air
Have your Baileys with coffee
Have your Baileys straight up
You'll do so much better
When dealing with guff
