Karma Tonic: Chapter 40: Hiccup


A minute long hiccup

Was it scotch or buttercup?
A threat to scupper the night
Or a simple recall, lovely and bright.
Who recalls me?
A fiend, a pal, a lovely crush
A rialto in the past
The neighbor’s parrot,
Green and slush
Button up that minute
It was just a hiccup

Karma Tonic: Chapter 39: That Word


Theory of head that turns mute
Whistle that sounds futile
Wind turns thin, recorded docile
Weight on toes, words are stuck
A push from the gut,
Why don’t you just duck?

Pay me some crumbs; I’ll lend you the word
Story in a pot, head to swirl
Dynamics of business, you sound so nerd
Hands fall in pocket,
Eventually,
Where’s that word?
