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.
