Paradise Soiled
My Lord! It's ugly! It's downright disturbing! Those Argus eyes! Those crafty legs —Unnerving! Such was the buzz in Heaven when the fly was first unveiled. Gabriel heaved a sigh: The wings are lacy, the body iridescent, which in another context, might be pleasant, though gaudy touches, but in black…
Out of Sync at the Kitchen Sink
Elbow deep in suds and scrubbing, Behind me I feel someone rubbing. Suddenly two hands on breasts. Really, I think, is there no rest? “Do you want to make love?” I hear him ask. Wipe my forehead, distracted from the task Of washing dishes, steam in my eyes, I respond,…

The Savior, Just in Time
Christ upon the cross looked out upon Calvary. The sweat on his brow mixed with dirt from his face, and it dripped down to flop on the Centurion's helmet. The soldier backed away. He was bored. He hated crucifixions. They were the worst duty; he should have a better billet,…
Against the Campaign to Stomp Out “Awesome”
Awesome is so casual in its clothing, its announcements like tacky Hawaiian shirts depicting my dearest nouns' dying—yesterday's chile-relleno burrito, or last week's pinkest sunset, or dad's new surfboard, or the news the darkness on my forehead is benign. Yep, awesome “is elegy to what it signifies,” meditates Robert Hass,…
The Scunthorpe Problem
Dear Sirs I email to complain about your filter for profanity. Its over-sensitivity's a danger to my sanity.

Ode to a North Woods August (Sort Of)
Stillness. The calm before a storm of life Rumbles and hums and begins afresh. The quiet lake glows in anticipation of the approaching sun, Its waters' ebb and flow are as the breath Of the slumbering wilderness, sleeping mostly soundly Before it finally awakens. The spectral loon's cry, beautifully haunting,…

English Teacher’s Daughter
(to the tune of Loretta Lynn's “Coal Miner's Daughter”) Well I was born an English teacher's daughter. I grew up speaking how you oughter. We were poor but we talked well— knew me from I is how you'd tell. I would say, “This is she” to each caller. Summers we…
