amen w/ caramel apple smarty

I know a 
magic trick
& I have a 
grocery list
20 mins. long.

Why so many
stars,
whispers,
secrets?

Why so many
shadows?

Where does
the cat hide
all day?
(She always
comes back.)

What's on 
your mind,
moonbeam
stepchild?

Everyone waves
at me & I think
I know why:
I'm a cheetah,
a fire elemental,
a chanter,
a purveyor
of chapbooks
& barley stew.

The monsters
growing in the
moon manure
out back will be
happy that I
remembered
the carrot sticks.

sudden shower

I'm stranded in a field of wildflowers.
Lightning laughs in the trees.

I'm a solo cannibal
alone on my island.

Trouble walked up to my hut
in the form of crab legs

& I had no butter --

I know better.

The text appears to have been
replaced with radio transmissions.

I'm a spider friend.

A machine is being manufactured
in my honor this evening.

I've been told that I look like
The Old Man of the Trees.

three television skulls

1.

(You've built
burgers before?)

There's a pyramid
on my head --

There's something else.

Bunny shot straight
up, startled.

I'm paying close
attention now.


2.

I'm sitting on top
of that pyramid
on your head.

There's a satellite
dish on top of mine.

It's receiving the
transmissions
of your favorite
television skulls.

I meant to say
*shows* -- TV shows.

I know what you've
been watching.


3.

I'm a small
skateboarder
using your dish
as a freestyle bowl.

I'm wearing a T-shirt w/
the image of a pyramid on the front
& a satellite dish on the back.

The system works
& I'm right
on time.

Your teeth are bleached?
go see an Incan priest.

He'll tell you about
the llamas.
