If you have never
heard God laugh at you,
you need to listen harder.
/////
It's easy
to bite off
more than you
can chew;
but difficult
not to choke
on it.
/////
Some evenings,
the voice
you don't hear
is loudest
in your heart.
/////
Should women
truly learn
men's hearts,
convents
would flourish.
/////
I always wake up
exactly where I am,
uncertain where
exactly that is.
/////
The poet owns
a closet packed
with skeletons,
whirling and gliding;
he never needs
to dance alone.
/////
The owl's call
at three in the morning
asks the question
who who who
am I?
/////
When you aren't there,
I often caress the air.
/////
Old tears
cling tightly
to their hurts.
/////
Myths don't age,
people do.
/////
Two wrongs often
make a fright.
/////
A university is where
ants train cockroaches
to make new pesticides.
/////
Words create worlds.
Try it. Know what
it means to be a god.
/////
The only thing
that can slow
a clock is Joy.

Last of the snap poems for a while. My house is clean. I have swept out all the loose jottings.
