Nothing makes me as happy as the nights
when I can look up at the full moon.
I love to see its rippling, dancing light
on the surface of the Black Lagoon.

Wishes
I wish I had hair like David Lynch
but not like Kim Jon Un.
I wish I could have a shootout at noon
but only with a water gun.

Absent Friend
Denial, the old joke says,
is not a river in Egypt,
but I find myself drowning in it
all the same.

Slothman
Superman came from the planet Krypton.
He can fly to Jupiter and be back before you knew he was gone.
Nobody on Earth can equal his might.
Nothing can hurt him except kryptonite.
His flights through space have been farther than NASA's.
He can disguise himself with a simple pair of glasses.
He can cause a hurricane with a single breath
and once he even managed to come back from death.
He can clear the tallest building in a single leap
and do all this while Slothman is still fast asleep.

Flamingo
The pipe under our sink
would resemble your neck, I think,
if only it were pink.
Among your many talents
is your ability to balance
in a one-legged stance
making you look graceful
as though in a dance.
