Do You Excite Your Mother With Those Ions?

If a solar storm
Stimulates Earth’s atmosphere
It feels weird to watch

Go Ask Alice

When it’s overcast
Aurora Borealis
Leans into the “Bore”

Stormy Irony

The cover-up
Is what was bad
But he need not have
If he had

Predator

Silent as the dew
Upon the grass
Alert
She lies in wait
The breakfast flock flits through
She moves
Alas
The early bird is late

Keeping Counsel

You have opinions;
I have them, too.
I’m not excited
To share mine with you.
Lately it seems that
Opinions are bowls
Full of sweet-smelling treats
Most attractive to trolls.

Two Medical Professionals

Yes, I’m exhausted.
No, I’m not ready for bed.
Those are not the same.

Por Eso Como Solo

Having traveled north, you need a
Bit of luck to find comida
Half as good as what you’d order
Near the U.S. southern border.
Even on the 5th of May
The best you’ll get is just okay
Which might make one deplore again
One’s choice to move to Oregon
Where, like the scenery, you’re green
From local Mexican cuisine,
Not to mention from the nation’s
Cultural appropriations.
Fact: This fake fiesta day’s a
Ploy for cynical cerveza
Vendors to inflict on rude
Americans appalling food.
Pro tip: Learn to make your own
And savor it at home, alone.
