# <center>In Your Wrinkled T</center>
lock down
the audience
silence the arenas
mute the opera houses
tik tok
dance like a maniac
to the beat
of lost time
in your wrinkled T
chant the melodic
rhythm
voice a shallow tattoo
hashtag and pound out
some virtue signalling
tik tok
dance like a maniac
to the beat of lost time
in your wrinkled T
you know the one
turn savagery into ironic gold
spin your truth, Rumplestiltskin
the Emperor has no clothes
but he wears a mask
tik tok
touch ... but first
freeze your ore cache
your molten, golden inside
so it won't be mined
claim your hurrahs
in virtual, electric blue
opposable digits
express your satisfaction
of the immense and pneumatic
touched up, untouchable assets
be easy with your hollow hearts
and emotionless emoji
tik tok
dance like a maniac
to the beat of lost time
in your stretched-out T
you know the one
the one I made
that way
tik tok

# <center> Quarterly</center>
the quarterly newsletter
has dropped bound sheaths
bud green parchment
un - scrolls
blank
papyrus issues
from the river bank
Spring is here

# <center> Not-to-Begotten Bird</center>
Yes, your cat is the wisest
Clever little glutton
Some days are meant for living
like this very one
So put your pen down
chase the not-to-begotten bird
Tomorrow, you can write
with a quill made of feathers
ink wet with your overflowing tears
***
# <center> Aged</center>
an aged dandelion exasperated
to lose her stuff, ruffled to flight
shook by the rough hand
of a feckless wind
despite her annoyance
breezes tattoo the current
with possibility and pollen
promise
gusts pound the atmosphere
with what is left of her
needles and fluff
helices and whirligigs
DNA in syllables, gale delivered
if only the nucleic can outlast the winter
all the blustering insistence go on hiatus
petals will return to a sunny disposition
a zephyr sway and enticing tremble
***
# <center> Orchid</center>
an orchid blooms
under her mother's smile
nurtured, coaxed to life
to seed
to germination, to flight
upon her mother's sigh
***
# <center>Disinfectant</center>
we were fated
star-crossed lovers
with a twist
over ice
no, I forgot you liked it neat
except when you made the mess
then the mess lay where it landed
I wasn't to touch, disturb
in case I destroyed the ruins
you were my Romeo
the Montagues, the Capulets
and the Apothecary
you were not without your talents
I played your Juliet
the Nurse and a cameo
from the Scottish play
even the Bard
wouldn't have thought of that
you like it clean
you like it clean
you like it clean
out, out damn spot
alcohol is a disinfectant
they say ... who's they
the voices in your head
the voices screaming themselves
into creation
the voices muted with sobriety
the voices were having none of that
the voices were having none of me
the voices were having none of us
it's us lot or her, they screamed
we'll never leave you alone ... she will
fear fulfills a self-fulfilling prophecy
Birnam Wood marched on our castle
so it was ME who had to go
out, out damn spot
don't miss your exit cue
ingenue
or it really hurts
when you are recast
as a weird sister
one more time
in case you missed it
out, out damn spot
