‘surely, someone was president, right?’
the year was 1904
and i don’t have a damn clue
what happened or why it did.

geometry of sorts
if i draw a straight line
one, i’d need a ruler or
straight edge, because
my artistic talent is rather lacking
from me to you
two, i’d need you to remain
rather still which i don’t see happening
as you move and shake like the wind
will you still be there
when my straight line
i guess it would be a segment
as a line from me to you
would not be infinite
though i hope to spend
forever with you
well, of course
that’s also a metaphor
‘cause i’m already 33
so let’s forgive technicalities
becomes the point
that was point a to b
and is now the point
and very close space shared
by you and me?

claw marks on drywall
i’m worried there might be wolves in the house
i’ve noticed clusters of padded prints in the kitchen
and claw marks on the drywall in the pantry
just above the cereal i eat for morning breakfast.
