Arrow Talk
a paper plate punctured with holes
a philosophical solution in the bullseye
creating holes to record missing dreams
white picnic scrolls ruptured with
burls of X-rays, surveillance videos,
screen shots, tree limbs dripping moss
epiphytes spring up along your
winter limbs

The Squeaky Wheel
Toad of Toad Hall
abandons his roadster
in favor of an Elon Musk rocket
the calliope won’t fit in the space capsule
nor will the samovar I expected you to pack
polish, place of pride
on Ganymede or Europa
colored pencils and chalks
conveniently incinerated
heating endless cups of tea
singing a bonfire to life.
