Full House

You now find yourself in a cloud of ghosts,

failing, just like them, to remain invisible,

muttering and complaining about the food 

I set out for you at night, how it’s just too much

to keep you from disappearing for good.

Neatness counts 

is the lie

people tell you

when they walk away

from the mess 

they expect you

to clean up.

The Accident Foretold 

I tripped because

I wrote about 

falling in a poem, 

and then I read

a story you wrote, 

and I became confused

about the nature

of gravity.
