chicken & egg
foot tapping
one two three four five
meditating
for good measure
incubating ideas
germinated long ago
the big cheese
stolen in broad daylight
a pack of blind mice
drawing straws
contemplating
mass murdering
the hash pipe
always out of sight
in a shoe
an ashtray
the junkiest of drawers
in the kitchen
getting closer
warmer then colder
back & forth
tile or carpet or wood
the hatching
a surprise ending
april two thousand twenty-three
