Penguin Poems
The bags under my eyes are so packed
that they’re ready for a two week long trip to Japan
The weights on my eyelids are so heavy
that they’re lifting 15 lbs dumbbells as a 5th grader
The crunch of my voice is so thick
that it’s driving on a gravel back road at 10 mph
My body is so exhausted
that it may as well be buried six feet under without a bell tied to my hand.
I’m so tired lol. And the last line references the saying “saved by the bell”; google it if you don’t know where that saying comes from
In the mango tree
a pair of crows
have made a new home.

While up on the roof
watering the plants
I see the heavenly sight
how they raise their beak
to swallow the trickles
before the heat ***** away
and having this little favor
they're back in usual mood
cawing at their hoarsest
stay away, stay away
come no way near nest

which I do my best to do
stealing a look when they're away
at the three blue nuggets
happy in the thought of
little red hungry mouths

broken
the mangoes would grow
around an empty home.

Birth and Death are basically
The wearing of a flesh
And the taking off of the flesh
Respectively
The human spirit has always been
And will always be!

'Private Messages'
are now called
'Direct Messages'.

Maybe it's because
They're not quite so
'Private', anymore.
That's mildly worrying.
(Not my idea but still worth writing about.)
