One Line Poems

When do you have your midlife crisis when you’re immortal?

Half way through the sentence.


The Toilet;

Monastic brown boxes

The little autumns of life


America;

At least you can still have a BBQ


My dream of you was so dirty

It was condemned


When he tells you he loves you

I mean it


How many gods does it take to screw in a light bulb?

Depends on if the light bulb really exists.



For Emily Dickenson:

If god is the weight of my brain

Satan must be 6 inches tall


If I wasn’t such a fatalist

I’d turn bunt toast into croutons


I mean it this time

I mistrust you


Together we are tuberous

And cassava like in tapioca life


She didn’t pretend to like Robert Johnson

Come on into my kitchen she said

She entered from the dining room

I entered from the bathroom

Her black dog humped my leg


I hope they have high school reunions in heaven

I’d love to see who died first

Or who died most successfully


If this were a metaphor it would be

God


Lipstick on the barrel

Handguns don’t go well with love
