10.6.2010: "On the Other Side of the Fence" Poem

On the other side of the fence,
the house stands empty,
and is falling apart.
The grass is unmowed,
the green pool draws mosquitoes.
On the other side of the fence
is the face of foreclosure.

9.29.2010: Emergency Poem

My hose has a run,
my dress a stain,
my heel is broken.
We have to cancel dinner.
