you can't reach me

Oops!
My phone died

Now,
I'm out where
you
can't reach me,
a poet
watching the rain

Actually,
I left my phone
behind
on purpose.

Para la Vida

Un momento
de tiempo

para el sol
para el corazón
para la vida

Phantoms

Phantoms of the past
Loom large on cloudy days
Speak loudly in lonely rooms
Distort the day with dirty lenses

1990s?

What?

"Damn! I forgot
to get a bow and arrow!"

"What?"

"Oh, on my to-do list
I have 'get bow and arrow'."

"... You and me
have really different
to-do lists."

Late Night Pondering

I'm wondering
whether or not
I can do without
one or two
of those extra jars
from my cupboard.
I've been wondering
for a week or two
now,
and I think
I've decided I can.

Next on the agenda:
the old rice
  (20 lbs)
I am hoarding
in case of
the apocalypse.
