Confederate Flag Haiku

Confederate flag,
Massachusetts bumper. In
the snow, a peacock.


Found Poem

I just wanted to let you know
that I don’t think
I will be able to make it
to class today.

My boyfriend and my cat died
and I’m just not
feeling up to
going to classes today :/

I hope you have a great day!


A Challenging Demographic

People who say, “I want one.”


An Example of Conflict in a Story

Arriving at the cafe, one can choose either to wait in line at the counter or to claim a table by setting down one’s personal belongings. If the cafe is particularly crowded — like on a weekend morning, for example — the latter option might be the only means to guaranteeing a seat. Some patrons, however, will certainly regard this course of action as rude. “Customers who have ordered already ought to have priority,” they contend. Others patrons will regard it as wholly logical. “Why order,” they ask, “if the possibility of having no seat is very real?” A third group regards it as rude and does it anyway. These people, we say, are “conflicted.”


Breasts (a Kenneth Lay prison poem excerpt)

I let imagination
Philander for me.

Female breasts
Unmoored from brassiere
Jog for position
In my male mind.

My libido
Inflates like a
Frightened sea cucumber.

Conclusion of a Very Brief Misunderstanding
