Welcome to My Igloo
Sorry – there’s not a lot to do
in here except huddle under
covers, keep the circuits working
till the thaw, if it ever comes.
Those who skate across the surface
never know the wonders of
these drowning depths.
Toy Story
First I bought a toy,
then I bought the toy store,
then I built a factory to make the toys,
make myself a toymaker.
Made too many toys, though –
more than all the kids
could possibly play with.
Fruit Fool
Birdsong berry sweet found
tangled up with chain-linked
drainage ditch, fruit fool
spreading seed near the exit:
abandoned tunnel runs
under, cuts through
the guts of the city.
