Indiscreet Episode

sitting and watching
waveforms dance across a monitor
...

It's easy to fall for a poet
But once it's happened, look out
Some days you're up on a pedestal
Every other you're filled with self-doubt
...

She calls her old dog, Henry
And together they frequent the park

Where she ponders the man that's oft brooding
...

A convent, I tell you
That's where I'm headed
At least the sisters
Have a really good answer
...

Three young men leave the bar laughing
A forth sits alone on the curb
A six pack of beer is beside him
...

when his yellowed eyes
looked into mine
and he pleaded
begged me
...

I'm tired of being a drama queen
I'd like to turn in my tiara
I abscond my rule to another
...

I cannot carry a sofa up 3 flights of stairs alone
I cannot replace the transmission of an automobile
I cannot seem to accept that all you ever wanted from me
Was to get into my pants then get out of my life

Each time she looks into those eyes
Those beautiful, bottomless eyes
Almost all thought is lost to her
Save for an overwhelming need

Reaching for a wad of paper

Has forcibly taken control
Of the world's supply of petrol

A murder of crows congregate in my dooryard
They accost me on the way to the garage
Avian trick-or-treaters all clad in the same costume
Questioning my lack of edible garbage lately
...

My face felt hot
Not daring to look up
Knowing you were staring
...

An attempted murder, one might say
The intended target of the attack
My trusting nature and naivete
...

Do you know what I often find myself missing?

You.
...

Out, damned thought!
Out I say!

A stain upon my brain
...

I have a lovely name
Although I do not use it

I have a pretty face
