The Magician’s Assistant
Tonight I'm going to disappear. I disappear every night, I know, but tonight I'm not coming back. He will look for me but never find me, that withered wizard. This sorcerer's apprentice has been watching and learning for years, and now I know all the tricks of his trade, and…
Mind Over Mindfulness
It's 6:55pm and this metal chair is already uncomfortable, but I am determined to be here now. How long could a seventh grade band concert even last? There's no way it could be more than an hour. I will not let my mind wander. I know this moment is fleeting.…
A Friend to All Is a Friend to None
Plato pressed the “like” button under Aristotle's status: Poetry is a more serious business than history, for poetry speaks of universals, history of particulars. Then he wrote on his wall: You posted your status ten minutes ago. Therefore, you must be at home, and probably alone. Would you be so…

One Man’s Early Thirties: A Brief Lamentation
Though Christmas and New Year's are what you remember, For me, there's a separate event in December, It's not decked in holly, there's no “Auld Lang Syne”, It comes in with a whimper each Twelve Twenty-Nine, It's a day, to the world, that's just like any other, Yet at least…
Jack
Jack climbed up the hill of my breast And my eyes stared back at him, Empty and hollow As the bottom of a tin pail. He is thinking of her. That blonde with two pigtails And pink ribbons. I felt as if she was climbing with him, And this hill…

The upper shelves belong to Barbie,* mostly arrayed in pink, the lower to Disney princesses in even deeper pinker pinks, all of whom face shelves full of glitter eyelashes, fingernail gloss and bubblegum lipstick.

I Miss You, Chicken in Every Pot

To My Love, the Man on Lincoln Avenue Who Yelled, “Hey Sexy. Nice Ass.”
Grease-stringed hair blew up in the breeze off Lake Michigan, tinged with the first freeze of fall, wafting over a cinder-block hit of Axe and spray-tan aerosol, the first (and only) time I heard your crow-like caw. Your head fell heavy toward my hefty derriere, my middle finger ascending of…
Maybe Blame the Party-Planning Industry
Even the rabbi compared Skywalker to Moses and The Force, therefore, to God. My cousin was a Hollywood lawyer's son. He had a Revenge of the Jedi poster—before they changed it to Return— the inspiration for his two-square-yard Bar Mitzvah cake depicting him as Luke, “The Jewdi,” holding high the…
