Bad Trance
I have to find the guy
who put me under a bad trance.
I put the chicken thighs
in the oven and proudly set the timer
to 28 minutes.
When the timer beeped,
I opened the oven,
to find I hadn’t
turned it on.

Nothing Is Straight
I don’t see straight
lines anywhere.
Everything is curved.
The earth is round.
So is the horizon.
My body is a mess
of curves upon
curves upon curves.
Even my hunger
travels in circles.
Do you want
to pull in for some
fast food?

I Couldn’t See Until Now
The night hid behind fog, buildings, streetlights, and traffic lights. I’d never seen celestial bodies shine in the sky.
One evening during a power outage, my head hit a shelf in the dark. When I could see again, my eyes were full of stars.
